United has a nonstop Houston > San Juan but it looks like it gets in too late to make the Tradewind flight....
The United flight lands about 3:45. We did it last year and the Tradewind flight left around 5:30. Love that time of the day on the island and landing as the sun was setting was enjoyable. This time, Tradewind's last flight is 4:30. There is an interline agreement, so luggage will go straight through, so we've considered attempting it, especially if we fly first class and can quickly exit the plane. I called Tradewind and they advised against it, but would help us get a hotel room at the airport and put us on the first available flight in morning in case it didn't work out. There is also an overnight non-stop landing at 5:30 am and an early Tradewind. Losing that intermediate stop (CLT, MIA, ATL) and bypassing SXM is tempting to try either option.
