Sugaree said: Just looked up some random dates out of curiosity IAH to STT. Every single option has a stop at SJU. The article says it starts in May. I'm really hoping it's true!

Fuel stops are really expensive. I suspect as I mentioned they will use a short 737 on the route and go nonstop. If fuel stops end up happening to often they will drop the route. It's about 1800 miles compared to STT to JFK around 1400 miles. The term direct does not however mean nonstop so who knows for sure. G
