It depends on your nationality, not on the route — two travellers on the same New York → San Juan flight can face completely different entry rules. Check the destination country’s official immigration site or your foreign-ministry travel advice for your passport, and do it before booking: some destinations require a visa obtained in advance, others issue visas or waivers on arrival.

How many bags can I take on flights from New York to San Juan?

Whatever the fare you buy includes — baggage is set by the carrier and fare class, not the route, and the carriers on this pair (American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Finnair, JetBlue Airways and others) price bags very differently. Low-cost fares usually include cabin bags only and charge per checked bag; full-service fares typically include at least one. Compare totals with your bags added, because a dearer fare with bags included is often cheaper overall.
