Anything over $400 is considered extremely high.

I disagree....this year anything under $500 is good to DR....

Flight prices are outrageous this year everywhere

I agree. I'm poking around with some dates, and I can't get into POP for under $650 from DTW!!

It would depend on your location. From NYC or NJ you could get an average flight of 375 to 420... I think 402 or so is the average price from the NYC area. Anything lower is gold. How high you go is based on your economics and what you are willing to pay.

I guess I'm still stuck in the 2004 mindset when flights for under $250, taxes included, were available.

I still haven't paid anything more than $400 from the NYC area. But you do have to shop around and be somewhat flexible. Just traveling during the Holiday circuit won't cut it.

I was just playing around with May 20 to May 30 JFK to POP....$700 range

But that is holiday as you say...

Brookly guy paid over $1000 for JFK to POP ...that is nuts.....

I think we can forget flying directly into POP for a while. At least at reasonable fare.

From DC to POP is hovering around $750.00 with 8+ hour layovers each way. For that much I'll go through the extra hassle of flying into STI and busing over to Sosua.

And to make matters worse, reports say airfares are to go up an average of 10% across the board before the end of the year.

I checked STI also. It was only$ 150 cheaper. The taxi would eat that savins up. And I would have a 7 to 8 hour layover in Miami. No thanks!

Play around with your dates, May 19 through the 24th you can get 378 round trip with taxes. From JFK to Santo Domingo...Not a bad option....

Or for a 100 more you could do this for the same time frame.

New York City, NY (JFK) to Santo Domingo, DR, DO (SDQ) Puerto Plata, DR, DO (POP) to New York City, NY (JFK)

• Total: $485.20

well the cheapest flight on Orbitz to go to POP from Tampa is $945 during the Memorial Day week......
and going a week earlier not during the holiday is $860......now that is nuts
POP isn't even competitive anymore........what happened to the $350 R/T flights

the cheapest places for me to fly to from Tampa are Meddy, Montego Bay and Santo Domingo.......
I'm not going to count STI cause coming and going in the wee hours of the morning is the last thing I want to do on a vacation....
if I drive over to Orlando which is an hour and a half away......I can get JetBlue nonstop to Montego Bay for $350 and under......some flights as low as $238 R/T!
and mi hear they are a top airline with comfortable seats etc etc and they don't charge for a checked bag.....
parking is cheaper in Orlando than Tampa too.....
JetBlue is probably the ticket for this guy on my next reach......
