No longer listed on Virgin Atlantic website or Virgin Holidays website. Also no longer listed as a route from San Juan Airport on Wikipedia. Cannot find any articles relating a discontinuation...

yep no mention of it in the booking engine or the airport guides.

And the VS wiki page for 'Destinations' has it listed as 'Terminated'

I thought it was a one-year trial only.

Sounds like the loads weren't high enough after dropping off at Antigua to sustain the route.

Well now that I see that I can stop scratching my head, when Vancouver was announced as the 34th destination I was sure the numbers didn't add up, and forgot about Puerto Rico!
