FAQs - booking Dominican Republic flights

  • 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. The airport has two lounges, Victorian Room and Salon Ambar, both located airside on level 1 of the terminal. To access either lounge, ensure you have a lounge membership program.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to the Dominican Republic

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Dominican Republic flight deals.
  • 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.
  • As you’re booking your flight to the Dominican Republic, you’ll likely notice that there are a handful of different cities available to fly into. 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.

I've flown many many times on Northwest and then Delta. The crew on this flight were absolutely the best I've had the pleasure of being looked after by.

I've flown many many times on Northwest and then Delta. The crew on this flight were absolutely the best I've had the pleasure of being looked after by.

Flew first class so everything was great. But maybe because the flights were red eye, no meals were served, just chips. I flew Alaska Air 1st class at 9PM (2 hour flight) and they served beef short rib sliders!

Had to change aircraft due to a faulty door. Surprisingly it only caused about an hour and a half of delay. Delta handled this situation as well as can be expected.

Awful. Flight was continuously getting delayed and gates kept changing without any reason. Flight was delayed for more then 3 hours

Paid premium for Delta only to be on safe but tired old 767 with ancient cabin in mediocre condition. Poor wifi and horrible inflight entertainment. Hardly a premium experience. Should have flown SW and had fun flight crew and no pretense

Our flight to Zurich was delayed by almost 3 hours, so we missed our next flight. There was no indication it would be delayed this much. We were told the gate had changed and then it apparently took over 2 hours to load the "catering" on the plane. We were not compensated in any way for the trouble.

Rated entertainment as Mediocre as there were major problems with the Infotainment system that took probably a half hour for them to fix.

Your crew could maybe answer the call bell at least one of the times I pressed it. I pressed it first time with 2.5 hours left in our flight bc my partner was hungry and wanted a sandwich. We finally got the sandwich with 40 mins left in the flight.

Half the bathrooms assigned to economy were out of action

Delta crushed it. Flight attendant in first was attentive and just never stopped. Honestly one of the best domestic flights I’ve been on.

Overall fine but both ways for this trip was delayed.

Flight was delayed by almost 5 hours. Suitcase was not loaded despite the flight being near empty (my colleagues’ suitcases did reach JFK, unlike mine). Had to argue on phone to get JetBlue to deliver the case to my hotel. Never again

The flight was excellent. The crew was welcoming and attentive.

Great! I love Jet Blue. My favorite airline! Very efficient, clean and timely.

Run out of snack choices. Why are the seats not padded for your butt? Are we sitting on blocks of wood or metal for $250-300 a pop? This ain’t spirit. Let’s get it together people

We were told that our flight would be delayed for 90+ minutes because of weather, so we went to get something to eat only to have them randomly start boarding 15 minutes after the announcement, with no warning.

Entertainment... No earphones passed out. Many including me couldn't use the TV. Legroom was good. Crew was indifferent and a bit surly. Free wifi was a nice convenience. Check in desk location was unknown. Gate number on the boarding passes was wrong.

Going through JFK’s security is a mess. The TSA security said no shoes on the bins. So, we place our shoes in the belt and they came out all over the belt. Boarding was delayed and Flight as well.

Safe and on time were the positives. The plane wasn't cleaned before boarding, there was garbage and food on the floor and in the seat pocket. The TV screen was small and the picture fuzzy, audio quality was poor. Seatbelt was fraying and seat did not recline properly. No charging ports near the seats,

Confusing. Delay updates were out of whack At one point it said my flight was 25 hours. Three gate changes and two delays only to change back to original departure time. Gate announcer and on board flight attendant (Alejandro) making the announcements was impossible to understand due to accent and speed of speech. After beverage service the rear flight attendants sat back there on their phones. No refills no checking in, one sweep through for trash collection. Very impersonal. Bring back Coke products

I had a great flight. Everything went smoothly and the flight arrived early.

Well....let's start from the point that I had to stay in airport for 12 hours instead of 2 that was scheduled. Poor company and even worst customer service. Never again....

The flight and boarding were easy peasy. I was traveling with my 4-year-old, so a smooth boarding experience was especially appreciated. My only piece of feedback is really about where our gate was in O'Hare. They've shoved four gates into a tiny corner of the B terminal and there isn't early enough room or seating for everyone. Not United's problem, but did dent the overall experience.

We liked the fully reclinable seats. Had center seats, so it was difficult to talk to spouse. Crew was great

Aisle chair was good and liked the foot bar preventing you from putting your foot in the isle, The breakfast on this international flight to Zurich was horrible (Europeans, specially, used to good food) may make this a dealbreaker for booking with United Airlines again. I agreed with my Spanish fellow passenger.

Dinner was okay but the breakfast was not eatable on the flight San Francisco to Zurich.

There was no screens on board AND the WiFi didn’t work. My seat was broken and couldn’t recline so I couldn’t even sleep. The flight attendants didn’t offer anything to make it more comfortable. It was such an old cramped plane, when the person in front of me reclined I couldn’t even open my tray table. All the United ads talk about guaranteeing everyone gets a screen!

The Wi-Fi was unavailable on this flight for some reason.

The flight was delayed almost 2 hours. Bad customer service etc. I will never fly Luthansa. Ever!!!

On time take off…US cabins look tired and need of refresh!

Nothing, terrible travel experience due to weather and maintenance delays and was left stranded in Austin.

Missed connection from Philadelphia to London because flight from DC was seriously delayed. Was re-routed the next day (had to pay for hotel) to Zurich and was given a main cabin middle seat while I had paid for premium. Great job AA!!!

My husband and I pre-ordered our food, but they did not have my husband’s order, and my cheese plate was very average. I asked for a blanket and was told they don’t carry blankets on domestic routs. The flight was on time and smooth!

28 hour delay at Fort Worth/Dallas airport, part due to weather which was unavoidable, but various other reasons - no pilot, no fa, mechanical problem, plane too small, too big, crew out of flying time, seat configuration problems.... endless and hourly updates with a different excuse. Finally told us about 3.00 am, that the flight was delayed to hours later.

Experience was bad. 3.5 hour delay for a 2.5 hour trip. There was no r Transparency about the reason for the delay and it was done 30 mins at a time.

Original flight delayed several times and finally canceled at 2:30 in the morning. Staff at the gate was not very helpful in resolving problems or communicating why there were delays. I spent 34 hours at the airport before I could leave, they couldn't book me on another early flight even after canceling my original flight. Next flight available after my original flight was canceled was 22 hours later. I will never fly American Airlines again.

very very tight seats unfriendly crew who do not seem to care about the comfort of their passengers and do not know how to smile poor ground staff support at LHR and PHX

The boarding process and flight were great. However, I waited about 40 minutes for my luggage. It did not come up on the designated belt. Instead, everyone’s bags were on a cart. Not sure what the issue was, but we were not informed until another passenger went looking for her bags and found them.

There were delays on both ends. It made it less than excellent. This plane was great though

AA1537 the AC was not working properly. It was very hot and uncomfortable.

The plane was not on time for boarding or departure or arrivals.

EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL HOSPITALITY THE HELP.THE SEATING FRIENDLY ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD RIDE NOT ONE BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THEM

This was the smoothest flight I have had in awhile. I was also offered an exit row seat for a great upgrade cost and was able to sleep almost thr whole flight due to comfort and a smooth flight. We left on time and arrived on time.

No food not even water offered unless you buy it and no usb in the seat but other than that everything was good

Because our flight from marsh Harbor to Fort Lauderdale was over three hours delayed it caused us to miss our flight in Fort Lauderdale. Because we missed that flight, it cost us nearly $100 apiece for four different travelers which totaled nearly $400. We are seeking a reimbursement for the flight that we missed in Fort Lauderdale Florida.

Flight expected to leave at 6:40 pm ended leaving at 8:00 am the following day. I slept in a cold airport. Never again Spirit for me…

Flight was cancelled just 6 days before. No more flights that day, and the following date was sold out. Had to obtain a refund and buy more expensive flights on another airline.

The flight was on time and nice as always for me with spirit but the cabin crew were not good. They left the lights on on a red eye for the entire flight.

This was the return leg of my journey with Spirit Airlines. Despite its reputation, I found no issues as it got me from point A to B safely and without delay, especially with no mechanical delays, which is fantastic in my book! The staff, from ground crew to cabin crew, were all pleasant and hassle-free. The flight was smooth from takeoff to landing. I have absolutely no complaints about this no-frills airline!

I got a one-way, last-minute nonstop flight from PDX to BWI for only $125. Yes, I got nicked $79 more for a checked suitcase and $89 more for the BIG SEAT option, but it was worth it, even with $4.50 for coffee and $10 for a snack (the latter no different than any other airline). The grand total was still less flying on any other airline.
