  • Which Dominican Republic airport should I fly into when visiting Santo Domingo?

    Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic's capital, is the island's primary tourist area. When visiting the region, consider flying into Las Americas International Airport, about a 42-minute drive from the city center and 17-minute drive from Boca Chica beach. If the specific area in Santo Domingo is far from the airport, you can fly into SDQ and then take another method of transportation to your desired destination.

  • Can I rent a vehicle at Santo Domingo Airport?

    Renting a vehicle will be ideal if you prefer private means of transit across the country. The international airports in the Dominican Republic offer vehicle rental services. If you are flying into Santo Domingo airport, you can access car rental agencies, including Avis, Budget, Dollar, Europcar, Hertz, Honda, National, Payless, Sixt, and Thrifty. The car rental agencies are in the arrivals hall of the north terminal.

  • What transportation can I get from Punta Cana Airport to the city center?

    One of the best transit options from PUJ is a taxi. There are readily available fixed-rate taxis at the cab stands throughout the airport. Ensure you confirm the rates before starting the trip. You can also rent a vehicle at the airport from the on-site car rentals available. The airport is surrounded by hotels offering shuttle services to and from the airport for their guests. When checking a hotel, confirm that it provides a shuttle service from the airport. The most common transportation from the airport to the city center and other parts of the country is via bus. The buses leave at two-hour intervals beginning at 7 a.m. To ensure you get the bus if you are headed to far-off places, you can make a booking and then get to the bus stop at least an hour before departing.

  • Does Puerto Plata Airport have any lounges?

    If you are flying into Puerto Plata airport and would like a place to relax after your flight, consider visiting the airport lounges.

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Dominican Republic flight deals.

Santo Domingo is the air hub in the Dominican Republic that receives the most international air traffic, but flights from the US also arrive in Santiago, Punta Cana, and a few other smaller airports.
  • For exploring the southern part of the Dominican Republic, it can be beneficial to fly into the neighboring city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. This city is located near the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and receives a high volume of international air traffic, unlike the Dominican airport that serves the same region.
  • Dominican Pesos are the national currency of the Dominican Republic but select tourist areas around Punta Cana and select other tourist areas do accept US Dollars. If you’re traveling outside of these areas, check for ATMs in the airports, where you can use your American debit and credit cards to get Dominican Pesos.
  • Getting to your accommodation after your flight to the Dominican Republic can range in difficulty depending on whether your hotel is in a remote location or not. Shuttles, city buses and public buses can get you around metropolitan areas, but a car rental is required for the more rural or off-the-beaten-path areas of the Dominican Republic.
  • For travelers looking to extend their travels in Puerto Rico after flying into the Dominican Republic, you’ll have a few options for getting there. Flights from all major cities in the Dominican Republic can connect you with San Juan, and there is also a ferry that operates from Santo Domingo to San Juan.
  • The Dominican Republic has seven international airports. There are only three main airports, however: Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), Las Americas International Airport (SDQ), and Puerto Plata International Airport (POP).
  • If you are headed east of Dominican Republic, consider flying into Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) as the airport is closer to that region. The airport serves large airlines such as British Airways, Delta, Southwest, and American Airlines. PUJ services more airlines than any other airport in the country.
  • The Dominican Republic is strict about bringing pets to the island. You must ensure your cat or dog has a veterinary certificate with a maximum of up to 15 days and a microchip.
  • If you are flying to Dominican Republic Santo Domingo in February, expect traffic on flights, especially Sundays, as the Dominican Carnival event takes place every Sunday in the capital city.
  • If you want to connect to other islands around the Dominican Republic, flying into La Isabela International Airport (JBQ) is ideal. The airport is well connected to other Caribbean islands, hence it’s convenient for exploring the other islands.

Airline reviews

Everything about this flight was good except for the very end when I reached my destination. Everyone from the tune to the wheelchair escorts were great with the case were great but I miss you with people at the check in this at the very end. I need help from the chicken desk because I forgot my pillow on the plane The female worker at the chicken desk said that they found my pillow and she was going to retrieve it for me. She left a 30 minutes without any update and her so she saw me walking back and forth waiting for her and they didn't even bother calling her or radioing her for any updates. They were busy because they were behind schedule and they were overwhelmed but thanks because at least glanced me and try to give me an update just a quick radio check or phone call. I don't care about the pillow but if you tell me to wait, I waited for at least half an hour before I said something and I just left because they wouldn't bother talking to me so I could, so everything's going in the review. I took pictures of the two men that were left working at the check-in counter. The totally ignored me despite the signals I've been giving them. I don't see any offers in the kayak review to add pictures or screenshots so I'm going to post another review I don't know their name but I'm pretty sure Delta will find other names when they see the review. Google with pictures. There was another guy at the chicken counter bring an orange workers vest who finally left after telling me that the girl that was retrieving my pillow is working the gates now. That would have been if they just told me that's what happened. But I had no update. Make me wait for nothing. Thank you Delta airlines!

We had a great experience with Delta. They helped us from the start at the kiosk all the way to our final destination, including help reassigning and upgrading our seats free of charge at the gates, escorts with the wheelchair for my brother and even getting our luggage at baggage claim for us. I also had special help because I forgot my pillow on the plane. The wheelchair escort contacted for associates at the check-in desk all the way back to the plane and retrieved my pillow for me.

Crew was real good, flight was smooth and came in early.

The CRJ-900 was clean but the overhead air vents were broken in our First Class row, making the cabin very hot until about 30 mins into the flight. The flight attendants were both extremely apologetic and accommodating though so that is why I rated the flight as very good. They checked on us many times and truly showed they cared. The snacks for an hour and a half flight could be better. Would be nice if there was a small plated meal over convenient store snacks. WiFi also was not working. And it would be nice if Delta had adjustable headrests on these planes.

New high end luggage ruined/zippers broken, items missing. All happened on return flight from msp to mso. Do better! Not store bought luggage but high end personalized ogio custom embroidered luggage. Total slap in the face ontop of an extra luggage fee that took me 3 hrs on chat to resolve.

It was as good as it could be. Flying is not a pleasant experience these days.

The plane was old and thus the seats were not good. No cushion left whatsoever, and it all was a bit worn out.

I was in Comfort and we didn’t get any drinks, chips or anything! First Class got full service on the flight and Comfort got nothing. Seat was horrible and uncomfortable

None of the airplane features were available during the flight.

Old plane and old configuration/seats but still comfortable for a morning flight

Staff could’ve been a little more cordial. The men were much more friendlier than the women. My daughter and I also missed the 2nd to last meal as we were sleeping but that is on us.

Great staff. Clean plane, but we were delayed for more than an hour due to maintenance issues and had to board another plane.

I was very disappointed with my experience at the United Airlines baggage check. The representative was rude and unhelpful. I was required to remove approximately 1.5 pounds from my two checked bags, even though it was a very small amount over the limit. The interaction was unnecessarily unpleasant, and I expected much better customer service. I hope United will review this incident and provide additional customer service training to its staff.

No extra snacks were available. Meals quality is terrible. Crew was not friendly.

I was exhausted from a long day. The flight was smooth. The first flight during my 3 week travel that took off on time.

Agents at gate were not immediately available to solve problems and once they did they didn’t fix all the fight connections

1 flight cancelled Had to fly out of different city Flight at new departure city was delayed 3 hours causing us to miss connecting flights. By the time we did make it to Prague our luggage did not. Had to wait day and a half for luggage to be delivered. Customer service was not good. Agents did not arrive at gate until 5-10 minutes before boarding

I needed internet for critical matters and it never worked.

Everything was the best it could be. Crew found me with pre- ordered food. Excellent experience!

Lady was a bit rude during boarding and I was being nice to her.

Crew was great! Food sub-bar, tepid & flavorless. No snack options on trans-atlantic flight. Premium Economy seats ok, leg rest wouldn’t stay in place.

The planes can use an actual cleaning. The armrest and seats do not appear to be cleaned on this one and most other planes.

The flight attendant was very polite and attentive. The food was good.

For some unknown reason, my checked bag didn't arrive at the same time. I got to my destination about 30 minutes late (5pm) and my bag was delivered to my hotel at 2:06am.... in the past 4 flights with AA, they been delayed and I've missed connections and my bags. Poor service.

Flight was delayed…once landed at ORD, no gates were available so made us wait for 56 minutes after we landed to let us out of the aircraft!

Entertainment system did not function. USB ports did not function. Wi-Fi did not function. Terrible trifecta…

I cancelled this flight 2 days before departure but I followed your texts and emails and IF you were correct this flight turned into a nightmare.

We got upgraded for this flight. But the particular bright spot was the flight attendant in our cabin. She was attentive but not intrusive. She interacted in a personal way with each passenger and gave a great service. Thank you!

Horrible costumer service i was treated very bad the crew were rude 😟 didn’t get my wheelchair that I requested I was the last one the get in because no seat was assigned and after my 2 stroke I cannot be on my feet for too long but they didn’t care didn’t take my medicine on time because all the complications and delays when my bag was sent already I hope yall can train your crew better.

Crowed but safe flight and arrived at my destination on time

Flight was delayed many times. The crew was friendly but you eleven had to buy headphones to access the movies in the plane. $8 is not a lot for one person but it is when you travel with all your family.

When I agreed to give up my two seats because of overbooking by the airline, I should have been offered some sort of reward or credit towards a future flight. I was not. It was not until the next day when I mentioned it to a Jet Blue employee that I was advised to call 1-800-JetBlue. So here I am, having done Jet Blue a favor and I had to do the work to find out if I was going to get a credit. Such service

A nightmare. Scheduled flight delayed 2 hours then cancelled because pilot timed out . Unable to find another pilot. Really?! Weather certainly a factor, but JetBlue seemed totally unprepared for the chaos that ensued when flight routes were cancelled. More cancelled flights, finally many of us who had been bumped from other flights were allowed to board a Boston bound plane around 3:00am, delay after delay, sat on tarmac for another half hour while pilot dealt with weight distribution issues (?), arrived in Boston 4:30. Crew were wonderful- same attendants all day and night and they were exhausted. Fortunately for me and my son that Boston was our final destination, not so lucky for many who missed connecting flights.

Complete and total debacle from start to finish. HUGE mistake picking this airline. NEVER again! Rudest staff in the business.

The food took two hours to be delivered to my seat, when I'm on an overnight flight I want to sleep asap after take off

It's not JetBlues fault but there was a smell on the plane (possibly other travelers) and 3 children behind me that never quit whining. Soccor fans that were very loud. Pilot brought the plane down from high altitude quickly, dropping us hu dress of feet at a time. I've never felt that intense of dropping on other airlines (usually fly Southwest Airlines). But I arrived safely and I'm thankful for that.

All the TV screens in my rows was non functional . The map shown for an international route was antiqued..

There was a fowl odour coming from the lavatory the entire flight

The flights are back on time and everything else runs perfectly.

Surly, unhelpful ground staff at JFK. There was a complete lack of empathy—a flawed check-in ordeal caused us to miss our flight. All airlines that I have ever flown would have worked to help me solve the ticket problem. Instead, frontline employees shrugged their shoulders and pointed fingers at us for having made an error. I will do anything to avoid EVER flying on Jet Blue again. It well deserves its low rank among airlines.

Awful. Not water, or chargers or space under the seats, the plane was very old and poor maintenance, seats really dirty, sticky, seats pockets with wires pinching your knees. Connection with no announcements, plane departed 1.30 hour earlier for an extra stop to refueling in Trinidad & Tobago. Even that we had a 3 hrs delay, seated in the plane in the runway.

Really bad. Uncommunicated stop in Trinidad & Tobago for refueling. Extra stop added 3 hours of discomfort without allowing off the seat. Not even water, or chargers or boarding groups.

Staff were unfriendly and rude. Was stuck on runway for 2 hours after arrival in Boston.

Horrible service. No communication from the crew as to why a 6 hour delay then cancellation

We waited in an overcrowded bus for over a half hour. It was uncomfortable. It would have been better to have waited in the terminal in a line

The food for sale on board has opportunity for improvement.

I paid extra for a comfortable seat in the second flight, but the plane didn't have those seats, the first one did

The Arajet person who greeted us initially was unhelpful & rude about the mandatory migration form which has to be completed digitally but the systems don’t work properly. The boarding gate was changed twice and initial boarding was delayed. Once on board we we had to wait an hour and a half before take off. It was hot and there was very little room for tall-ish people to fit their knees in. The crew were pleasant but working in a poor situation. The plane was delayed because we were waiting for people from a delayed interconnecting flight. Arajet must have known that before we were asked to board. Better information, decisions & communication were needed.

My seat was broken and the crew had to find me somewhere else to sit. The crew was extremely courteous about this
