I checked the newark schedule as well and there appears to be cutbacks there as well. At least I still have Delta, but it sucks having to travel to/from JFK.

If this Spirit/JetBlue merger does go through, what do you all think of Atlantic City (ACY)? I'd love to see them add flights to DR from ACY as it's much easier to travel to. Plus the airport is not owned by the port authority thevies so the parking is very afforadble.

I’ve been hearing some good things about Cabarete, even tho I have never been there. I have always chosen Sosua due to the popularity and the beach. for my next trip, I’d like to try Caberete and am looking for some advice. I hear kite beach is the most popular henice the name. Is it swimable...

Thanks, are these taxi drivers hard to identify? I don't want to use the incorrect one. That happened to be once and I wound up in Cabarete

You have a good point. The prices are decent coming into Pop from NY/NJ area. It's the return's that are through the roof right now. Trying to plan a trip shortly after labor day.

Thanks for the response. Do you happen to know what the average going rate from either airport to one of the bus stations by taxi is? I am going to exchange money before I arrive so I will try to pay in Peso. Also, once I arrive at the Puerto Plata bus station, will it be easy to find...

Hey All, I am looking for help in getting to costambar from SDQ or STI airport. From what I know there are 2 bus lines Metro and Carbie Tours. Is taxi from either airport to the bus station reasonable? I am going to have carry on luggage with me so I'm not sure if there are better options...

Hello I am planning a trip in late August. I need to get to Costambar, Puerto Plata which is where I will be staying. The flight prices into POP are out of my range, so I was thinking of flying into STI or SDQ and taking the bus to Puerto Plata, then either taking a taxi or motococho. I...

I have been to the DR in the past and mostly traveled to Sosua. I want to visit other areas on my next trip, so I am thinking of flying into santo domingo (spend a few days there)Head to the beach maybe Boca Chica or Juan Dolio, from there take one of the buses up to Santiago spend a few days...

I am coming to DR in 3 weeks and will be in the Puerto Plata area for a few days. I have some friends who live in La Romana. I have never been there, however I am thinking of visiting for 2 days. Is there any bus that would get me there without having to change? I can take Metro or Caribe...
