Tyler Perry flew from Little Rock to San Juan on the evening of May 31, landing at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport just before 2 a.m. local time in a 3-hour-35-minute hop aboard his Embraer E-190, tail number N378TP. The flight follows a short day-trip pattern: Perry had departed Atlanta for Arkansas earlier that same day.

The destination is the week of early June, when Perry typically retreats to his private island, White Bay Cay, in the Bahamas’ Eleuthera chain — a property he purchased alongside a 35,000-square-foot Georgia mansion and a private runway at his Douglasville estate. San Juan serves as a practical refueling and customs stop for smaller aircraft heading into the Out Islands; as a licensed pilot, Perry often uses similar routing when transiting to the Caribbean. No public events or business meetings in San Juan have been reported this week, per the Associated Press and local San Juan Star news.

The trip aligns with Perry’s recurrent pattern of late-spring island getaways — he has logged multiple flights between Atlanta and South Florida or Caribbean airports in recent weeks, including a May 28 round-trip to Fort Lauderdale. With no scheduled film releases or public appearances on the calendar, the journey appears to be a private seasonal escape.
