Tips for 1 hr Connections
If your connection spans Terminal A and Terminal B/C, budget extra time for the shuttle and a second security screening.
JetBlue's Caribbean 'bank' of departures clusters in the afternoon, so gate areas in Terminal B/C get crowded from roughly 3-6pm.
Flights arriving from foreign countries (like the Dominican Republic or Aruba) require CBP processing at SJU, even if your final leg is domestic within the US.
Terminal A is smaller and has fewer food options, so grab food in B/C if you have time before a same-terminal connection.
PreCheck lanes exist but are limited, so don't assume the shortest line during peak morning or afternoon banks.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals B and C are linked airside by a short walkway, so connections between JetBlue and Spirit gates typically involve no re-screening. Moving to or from Terminal A requires exiting security, a landside shuttle bus or walk of several minutes, and a full re-screening on the other side.
