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'

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!
