JetBlue will fly you round-trip to Bad Buddy's Puerto Rico concerts for free—here's how
To celebrate the Puerto Rican megastar's 'No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí' residency at San Juan's Coliseo de Puerto Rico, JetBlue is giving away round-trip flights and concert tickets to five lucky fans (plus their guests). That's right: free flights and free entry to one of the hottest concerts of 2025.
The sweepstakes, cheekily dubbed ' Boarding Pass to No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,' is running now through July 18. Winners will jet off to San Juan for the Aug. 29 or Aug. 30 show—and yes, beach time is absolutely encouraged.
Entering is simple: Head to JetBlue's official site and fill out the entry form with your name, email, phone number, zip code, date of birth and 10-digit TrueBlue loyalty number (you can sign up for free if you're not already a member). No purchase is necessary, but you must be 18 or older and a resident of the U.S., D.C. or Puerto Rico.
JetBlue, Puerto Rico's largest airline, has long held deep ties to the island. 'Partnering with Bad Bunny's 'No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí' residency, which embodies the pride, creativity and global influence of the Boricua spirit, is an extension of our commitment to celebrating what makes this island so special,' said JetBlue president Marty St. George.
Winners will be announced on July 23 and will receive two round-trip flights on JetBlue, plus two tickets to the reggaeton king's show. Travel must be booked by Aug. 15 and completed by the end of the month. Winners living in Puerto Rico can swap flights for another JetBlue route, as long as it's not transatlantic.

Grownups getaway to one of America's greatest cities on new Scots flight
Get there in just over six hours thanks to the new JetBlue direct service from Edinburgh BOSS'IN IT Grownups getaway to one of America's greatest cities on new Scots flight Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMERGING from the lift, we followed the illuminated red exit signs, along darkly lit corridors, before pushing through heavy velvet curtains and went IN. No, we hadn't gone through the wrong door - this was the 'secret' entrance to Blind Duck, a speakeasy hidden on the 18th floor of Boston's Raffles hotel. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 25 Dark and moody interior at Blind Duck, a secret Speakeasy at Boston's Raffles Hotel 25 Punch served with style at Blind Duck 25 Boston is a fabulous city worth exploring day and night Inside it was dark and moody, but the customers were anything but, as they sipped fabulous cocktails, including Duck Punch, served from a gorgeous duck-shaped decanter complete with silver head and neck. Nibbles quickly appeared at our table. Okonomiyaki Fries - don't mind if I do. Lobster Tartine, Tuna Tartare, Duck Bao Bun (what else!) and more were soon demolished. It was our first night in the city and we were starting on a high that set the tone for the whole trip. This was Boston for grownups and we planned to take in all its late night thrills. 25 WR070X Boston skyline with sailboat in the foreground, Massachusetts, USA Credit: Alamy My pals and I had flown on the recently launched direct JetBlue service from Edinburgh. The six and a bit hour flight was fantastic thanks to being lucky enough to bag myself a seat in the airline's Mint cabin - business class fully lie-flat bed, great food choices from the Delicious Hospitality Group, who sure lived up to their name, and super friendly cabin crew. 25 Heather enjoyed her Mint Class cabin onboard the new JetBlue direct flight to Boston from Edinburgh 25 The Westin Copley Place Hotel was a great base in the city centre 25 Heather gets her bearings at View Boston 25 Fabulous food was on the cards on the first night at the brilliant Mida South End As it was a daytime flight, I took advantage of the in-flight entertainment, accepted some more complimentary drinks and nibbles, don't mind if I do, before being fed again with a lovely scone and jam before landing. After checking into the Westin Copley Place hotel, I had time for a quick change in my room with its fab views of the square which hosted a lovely market that weekend and nearby churches. Then we hit the town and began by taking in the cityscape from way up high at View Boston observation deck on top of the Prudential Tower. We took a wander round the fun exhibit, some pix at the Boston sign and a drink at the bar. Bearings found, we enjoyed a fabulous feast at Mida South End, an Italian eatery in a cracking setting. It was packed to the rafters and after demolishing my lip-smacking Spaccatelli al Pesto, I could understand why. The cocktail list was mouth-watering and the wine divine. What a welcome to this incredible city. Then we headed to that not-so-secret speakeasy for some nightcaps before tiredness won the battle and we reluctantly headed by to the West and hit the sack. After a satisfying hotel breakfast the next morning, we took to the water like, well, ducks, but in kayaks, on a 90 minute venture with Paddle Boston along and across the incredibly clean and calm Charles River. Red Sox star Triston Casas left in horror as Jarren Duran fixes broken-down car at Fenway Park My fear of drowning quickly subsided thanks to Zac our guide who assured me it was mega safe and he'd save me if I fell in. It was a perfect and peaceful way to see some of the city. There were plenty of others out enjoying the same things, along with packed Duck Boat tours, sailing clubs and even university rowing teams practising their skills (and skillfully avoiding us amateur kayakers) but it still felt serene. We rewarded our paddling efforts with a luscious lunch at Shy Bird, an American-style restaurant where my smashed falafel wrap was just what I needed. Messy, but oozing yummy flavour. Finger-licking good! Culture was the call for the afternoon as we visited the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. It's based in her former home which she donated to the city on the understanding not one item of the huge collection she'd amassed from around the world was to be moved. And that included leaving blank spaces and even empty picture frames on the walls after an art heist in 1990, as sadly the loot was never recovered. It's an eclectic collection with more than a nod to Scotland, surprisingly, alongside items of furniture from the likes of China and creations from great artists like Titian, Rembrandt and Michelangelo. The stunning courtyard, packed with flowers of every variety, is worth taking the weight off and just admiring the sheer beauty of the place. 25 Heather takes to the water with Paddle Boston 25 Stunning courtyard at the Isabella Gardner Museum 25 Food as good as it looked at Urban Hearth Beauty was served up on a plate later when we were lucky enough to dine at Urban Hearth in the North Cambridge area of Boston. Every dish from chef and owner Erin Miller was a creative masterpiece. All looked stunning and tasted even better. Just order two or three dishes ahead and share. Tapas Boston style and delicious with it. Next day a quick change of hotel - well we wanted to sample as much of the city as possible - took us to the seaport and the highly-recommended Renaissance hotel. Astonishingly, they had our rooms ready and it wasn't even 11am. How's that for service! Then we jumped in a couple of Ubers and headed to Harvard Square, to wander the hallowed grounds of the famous Ivy League uni, and pop into the university shop for a souvenir. A quick lunch went down a treat at Alden & Harlow, whose ginger-infused Citizen Cider was fabulously thirst-quenching. 25 Classy Renaissance Hotel at Boston Seaport 25 Harvard is famous for its university Credit: Kyle Klein 25 Heather and her pals have fun with some props after the theatre show 25 Dine, drink and drive at F1 Arcade Boston The cooling interior of the American Repertory Theatre was warmly welcomed as a break from the blistering sun (temperatures were hitting 30C), as we took our seats for a hilarious and brilliantly acted two-person play 'Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York'. Even if, like me, you are not really into theatre, go. You will love it I guarantee. The young girl and guy are destined for stardom, I reckon. And don't forget to have fun with the props at the end for those quirky insta pix. Talking about fun, we laughed until we literally cried (well maybe I cried with frustration too) when we pitted against each other at the F1 Arcade Boston, at the seaport. Book a racing simulator, grab a cocktail or beer, take a seat in your F1 car and get revving for the race of your life as you roar round a track, trying to overtake your opponents and claim the ultimate victory - or avoid crashing like me! Defeated but not dejected, we headed for supper at one of Boston's top restaurants, Grace by Nia. It's truly gorgeous inside, all art-deco greens and golds, with dazzling chandeliers and ceiling-skimming gold-leafed palm trees. We literally devoured the entire menu as we were serenaded by a brilliant band who had us all swaying and singing along in our sumptuous velvet seats. 25 Stunning interior at Grace by Nia 25 The food was stunning 25 Jazz brunch at Beehive The fried green tomatoes were fab and my Bourbon stir-fry was, well, wow. Plump and succulent prawns bursting with spicy flavours mixed with mushrooms, onion and peppers. Sensational. Food definitely worth going back for. Food and music were back on the menu the next morning at a groovy jazz brunch at the Boston Institute that is Beehive. It's eclectic, quirky, bohemian and not to be missed. The shakshuka with polenta is a must as the music livened us up for another afternoon of fun. And that was to be had at my first-ever baseball game at the Boston Red Sox's Fenway Park. 25 Heather and pals at Fenway Park for Red Sox baseball game 25 Masataka Yoshida of the Boston Red Sox runs out a hit against the Tampa Bay Rays during the game at Fenway Park o Credit: Getty I hadn't the first clue what the hell was going on but I was soon cheering and clapping and Mexican-waving with the rest of the near 40,000 crowd as the home team hammered the Tampa Bay Rays. Go Sox! Now, if you like Chinese food, then I challenge you to find better than Mr H at the Seaport. Our dining space was open to the night breeze as we spun the lazy susans, laden with sumptuous creation after sumptuous creation brought to us by the incredibly attentive staff. Spicy cucumbers were a huge hit, as was the tangerine tuna, spicy salmon puffs and drunken octopus - and that was just for starters. Main attractions included rice dumplings stuffed with shitake mushrooms, crab and shrimp Shumai with caviar (my personal fav) bobo salmon and my meat-eating diners swore by tender strips of grilled wagyu sirloin. But the showstopper was the chocolate Buddha dessert which came dramatically surrounded by dry ice clouds wafting its tempting aromas. I was a tad nervous about eating him, unlike my pal Suzy who decapitated him with one swift swipe of a spoon and downed his head in one! 25 Dining at Mr H in the seaport area of Boston 25 Stunning Buddha dessert But we did toast his demise at Deck 12, a rooftop bar at the nearby Yotel, drinking in the views of the twinkling lights of the many skyscrapers that dot the harbour line, along with the crafted cocktails. Our last day highlights began with a delicious lunch of super-satisfying clam chowder in the glorious setting of Rowes Wharf Sea Grille, washed down by a Basil Brush mocktail. Set within one of the city's most iconic hotels - the Boston Harbour Hotel - I can't recommend it highly enough. Then we took to the water once again, this time for a leisurely cruise onboard Schooner Adirondack, sailing out into the harbour, taking in the sights while supping a cooling drink in glorious afternoon sunshine. 25 Heather and pals set sail in Boston Harbour 25 Boston Common is gorgeous 25 The bar where everybody knows your name A walk along the city's must-do Freedom Trail was next. It's easy to follow - just watch for the coloured paving bricks and you cannot get lost. There are plenty of places to stop and learn along the way, so perhaps download a guide to help you get the most out of the 2.5 miles. It starts at beautiful Boston Common, the oldest public park in the US (take a detour to the Botanic Gardens they are fabulous) and meanders through the city's downtown, taking in the golden-domed State House and the iconic old Ironsides warship. And that little history lesson brought our Boston grown-ups getaway to an end. Well not without a last photo opp at a bar that's definitely not a secret. Cheers Boston!

Katie Taylor's dad CONFIRMS legendary daughter's relationship status after pics emerge of her wearing ‘wedding ring'
Pete opened up on their reunion in an exclusive interview with The Irish Sun Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE TAYLOR'S dad Pete has confirmed that the Irish boxing legend is married. In pics ahead of her trilogy bout against Amanda Serrano, the Wicklow fighter appeared to be wearing a ring on her left hand. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Katie Taylor wore a ring on her left hand in the week before her win over Amanda Serrano Credit: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile 2 Pete Taylor confirmed his daughter was married Credit: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile And during an appearance on the Anything Goes podcast with James English, her dad Pete confirmed that she had indeed tied the knot. He said: "Ever since the fight there with Katie, people are seeing the two of us back together, even some of the s*** you hear about that. "I was reading somewhere that Katie Taylor never got married because of her father, he wouldn't let her. "Katie's married, you know, and I'm thinking, 'where are you getting this s*** from?'" Dad and daughter reunited to work together in the lead-up to the 39-year-old's sensational trilogy win over Amanda Serrano on July 11. Pete had coached her during her amateur career, peaking with her winning an Olympic gold medal in London in 2012. However, they parted ways after Pete split from Katie's mum Bridget. Taylor controversially lost her title at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and turned pro later that year, and has been trained by Ross Enamait ever since. In an exclusive interview with the Irish Sun a week on from her victory over the Puerto Rican, Pete sought to dispel preconceptions concerning their relationship. He said: "We posted online that we were training together, but we were still very close. I was still over visiting her. Pete Taylor opens up on training with Katie Taylor "This is a media thing that me and Katie got back together for the fight. It's not true. "We've always been close, and we've been talking for the last five or six years. It was just that I didn't get involved in the training. "We were always talking boxing. That's just natural. When I call over to her, we go to the gym together. "She just asked me to help out in this camp, and that was it - but it wasn't that we rekindled this relationship. "We were close all the time. "People love these stories. I think they must have boring lives or something, because they're so interested in other people's lives. "I don't post anything about my own personal life on Instagram. Katie's the same, and then, when we put it up, you could say it went viral. "We've always been close. I was actually shocked that it went so viral, to tell you the truth."

Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico residency makes shock impact on economy
Bad Bunny 's residency kicked off earlier this month and he is not just showering his native country with his famous reggae music, he's also making an astonishing impact on Puerto Rico. The 31-year-old singer, who currently stars in Happy Gilmore 2 alongside Adam Sandler, is performing a historic residency, titled 'No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí,' at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Celebrities like LeBron James and Ricky Martin - as well as other fans - have been flocking to the Caribbean island to get sight of the hunky rapper (turned Calvin Klein model). The 30-date performance is 'projected to generate at least $196.5 million in economic impact,' according to Destinations International's Event Impact Calculator. 'The real impact is even greater, as this [estimate] doesn't account for independent rentals or other accommodation outside of these [hotel] packages,' Discover Puerto Rico's Vice President of Marketing, Glorianna Yamin, told the Daily Mail. Hotel packages, which include hotel stays and concert tickets, can be booked by fans through vibee, a curated destination experience company, which Bad Bunny - whose birth name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio - has partnered with. The residency has 34 confirmed hotel properties vibee has partnered with, containing 48,255 room nights total. While tens of thousands of visitors travel to Puerto Rico for concerts, Bad Bunny's concert is expected to draw over 600,000 visitors alone. Demand for accommodations 'has skyrocketed since the residency announcement,' Yamin said, while also noting that the surge in travel interest and bookings following the announcement 'has been remarkable.' As of July 7, short-term rentals for August have reached 175,000, which is 60 percent more than the same period last year, and for September, there are 54,000 booked room nights, which is 68 percent more than last year, according to AirDNA. Statistics prove just how great of an impact the Latina star made on his homeland. The Caribe Hilton in San Juan, renowned for being the birthplace of the Piña Colada and Hilton's first international hotel, is up 'approximately 30 percent in bookings' compared to last year over the same three-month period, the hotel's General Manager Mike Garcia revealed to the Daily Mail. 'We're nearly sold out for August, and over 60 percent booked for September.' The resort-style hotel, which has 652 guest rooms, a secluded beach and three-tier oceanfront swimming pools, has become a celebrity hotspot where stars like Scheana Shay recently stayed as well as notable figures and Hollywood legends like former president Barack Obama, Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Moreno. Bad Bunny, who boasts 49 million followers on Instagram, has made some other places around Puerto Rico a celebrity hotspot. He has made numerous appearances at the music museum, Casa Histórica de la Música en Cayey, where he has surprised locals with a pop-up performance. In addition, earlier this year, he opened a new coffee cocktail bar in Old San Juan, called Café Con Ron, which has become a must-visit for his fans. In April, he was seen on the streets of San Juan, surrounded by film crews when he was reportedly shooting a 'confidential visual project.' Although he has yet to announce the secret project, he has been updating the Tití Me Preguntó singer has been updating his fans with how he's been spending his summer, when he's not on stage performing. Earlier this month, Benito posted a series of scenic and personal photos to summarize his summer, including a sign that read 'Shop local for Bad Bunny's concert,' and a baseball cap with the saying, 'Stop dating people who don't get your music.' Many fans were quick to make fiery comments about the saying possibly being about his ex Kendall Jenner, whom he dated in 2023 and partially in 2024. New music is always on the horizon. Bad Bunny dropped a new single Alambre Púa on July 14 and previously released his sixth studio album, 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' on January 5, which he said was a tribute to Puerto Rico and its rich musical heritage. Bad Bunny art can be seen on the walls inside the music museum (pictured) At the time, he posted a heartwarming message on his Instagram, which translated to English, reads, 'Without a doubt this is the best project of my career, the most special, the most beautiful and with the purest feeling. 'I dedicate this to Puerto Rico! I dedicate this to all my family and friends! I dedicate this to Latina America... the best experience of my career arrives, this moment! 'This week has been a lot of happy tears and thankfulness.' The Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, native's influence and his historic residency, Yamin told the Daily Mail, 'has united our community, energized our tourism industry, and created a positive economic wave that benefits all of Puerto Rico.' Yamin described the energy in Puerto Rico as 'absolutely electrifying' and noted that his concert series has brought together locals and visitors in a shared experience 'unlike any other,' especially since music is at the heart of the Island's culture. Meanwhile, Caribe's GM Mike Garcia remarked that Bad Bunny has made a 'powerful' impact by transcending generations, specially with his latest album carrying 'a sense of nostalgia that takes the grandparents and the parents way back, while bringing the new generation in to connect to their past and their roots.' 'It's truly a beautiful thing,' he gushed. 'This celebration of authentic Boricua culture can be seen in how people are dressing up for the concert, many of them donning a Jibaro outfit complete with straw hats and indicative of the rural Puerto Rican culture that influences the album.' Yamin told the Daily Mail that Discover Puerto Rico has become a vital tool for visitors to experience more of what Puerto Rico has to offer, including world-class beaches, a growing culinary scene, rich history, and natural wonders that appeal to everyone. The singer's residency, which began on July 11, concludes on September 14.
