Traveling to the Island by Air

Puerto Rico is an independent Commonwealth in association with the United States and so, if you are a U.S. resident, your U.S. Passport is not necessary for air travel to the island. The identification documents required are the same as those used for state-to-state flights.

When traveling by air to the Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute in Puerto Rico there are two preferred airport options:

• Fly from the US to Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico via Jet Blue, United Airlines or Spirit Airlines. Upon request, AWNHI will make arrangements for a car service to pick you up at the BQN airport at no additional charge (does not apply to Off-Campus Graduate C.A.M.P. reservations).
• Fly from San Juan International Airport to Eugenio Maria de Hostos Airport (MAZ) in Mayagüez via Cape Air. Upon request, AWNHI will make arrangements for a car service to pick you up at the MAZ airport at no additional charge (does not apply to Off-Campus Graduate C.A.M.P. reservations).

Renting a car

We will pick you up from the Aguadilla airport at no additional charge if you give us advance notice (does not apply to Off-Campus Graduate C.A.M.P. reservations).

Most major car rental agencies are represented at both airports. Car rental companies may charge an additional fee for this one-way drop-off service. Some students prefer to keep their rental cars for use during their stay.
