Hi, we are a Norwegian couple going to Culebra for the first time. We have read a bit on how to get there, and most people seem to agree that the best way is to go by airplane. We want to fly to Culebra from San Juan (Isla Grande) around mid day the 22nd of November and want to return the 28th of November for and international flight 01.00 pm. We are somewhat concerned about what we have read though, and hence has a few questions:
1. Does anyone know why the airlines seems redundant to answering e-mails? (In our view e-mail gives much lesser chances of misunderstandings on bookings)
2. Why aren’t the airlines displaying time tables on their websites?
3. There are some websites (looks a bit old maybe culebra-island.com/CulebraIsland/Transportat…
that are displaying some “On Demand approximate times” for Isla Nena, VAL and Flamenco Air to different locations.
A. We can only find that Flamenco Air flies once a day back and forth to Culebra from Isla Grande (in the afternoon 3-4 pm). Most other flights seem to be only to Ceiba. Does anyone know if this is true?
B. VAL seems to have one flight in the early morning (8.15 am) and one late in the afternoon (4.30pm) from San Juan to Culebra. Is this true? Is this from Isla Grande or the international airport? VAL seems to have just one flight to San Juan in the morning (7.15 am) – is this true?
C. Isla Nena seems to have four flights (one plane back and forth all day?) from San Juan to Culebra with returns. If this planes goes to Isla Grande, this seems to fill our needs better than the two others air lines. Still people seem to recommend the two other airlines. Why is this?
4. Does “On Demand approximate times” mean that Isla Nena, VAL or Flamenco Air can make agreements with clients and then still not execute the flight as agreed with the clients if the plane isn’t sufficiently filled with clients? If so, how can clients relate to this as to reach other flights, especially long haul flights overseas?
Kind regards,
