Ticket to Puerto Rico from a changeable friend
I’m David from Miami. I got very lucky with my ticket to Puerto Rico! I have a friend who is very indecisive and changeable, which can be difficult sometimes but this time it worked out in my favour. He loves travelling, and asked me for a recommendation of somewhere I would buy a ticket to visit. I advised him that I’d buy a ticket to Puerto Rico if I were him, and he did so. The following week he said that he wasn’t able to go, and was now selling his ticket to Puerto Rico! As he needed to sell his ticket quickly, he offered it to me for half the ticket price that he paid. Otherwise I’d never have been able to afford the ticket. The ticket to Puerto Rico was with Delta Airlines, and my flight was both quick and comfortable. The staff were amazing and the plane was clean and modern. Although my friend is frustrating, I do hope he book a ticket somewhere else and changes his mind again in future!
My round trip ticket to Puerto Ricoama
My name's Nora, and I'm from New York. Planning my trip to Puerto Rico started last summer. I was not sure whether to take a one way ticket or a return ticket to Puerto Rico, because I could not decide how long to stay in Puerto Rico. Finally I made up my mind to choose a return ticket, for 2 weeks. The airline was One Travel, and they were fantastic. The staff were very pleasant and caring. I arrived in Puerto Rico in the evening and started to explore it from the first moment. My whole experience was wonderful. In the end, I regretted choosing the round trip ticket instead of a one way ticket, because two weeks were not enough at all. I only came back four days ago, but I am already searching for another ticket to Puerto Rico already, because I still have so much to see there.
