The flight in question was SJU-EWR. My group is flying into BQN and renting a house in Rincon for the week for a surfing/leisure vacation. The plan was to drive up in the morning to San Juan and spend a few hours checking out Old San Juan before flying back. Now, , we've either got to get up really early (not going to happen with some of the ladies in the group) or drive up to San Juan the evening before and get a hotel in San Juan. That's what we're leaning toward at the moment. It's not the end of the world, but it will end up costing probably $40 per person more for the trip.

I managed to get everyone seated with their significant others or family members, so that turned out to be not an issue. Disaster averted.
