    Has anyone heard......

    that Continental is no longer flying daily flights from Newark to POP? I went online looking to possibly change my upcoming flight and found that although I was originally scheduled to leave on Nov. 14th, my itinerary had been changed to the 12th. I wasn't aware of the change as I had not received an e-mail notice.

    When I contacted them to find out what was going on I was told that the change was due to the fact that they no longer fly daily from Newark to POP. Anybody else aware of this?

    It's not a big problem for me; I was able to change my departure to the 10th and extend my return to Dec. 1st and add an additional week to my trip, but I was wondering if CO's schedule change is true as it will have to be considered when planning future trips and, preferring to travel on Tuesdays, it looks like I'll have to start looking at a different departure day.

    I just booked two trips on CO. EWR nonstop to POP.

    Departing Jan 6th (Sat) - Returning Feb 1st (Thurs)

    Departing March 3rd (Sat) - Returning March 26 (Mon)


    Maybe I was just lucky with my dates?

    I have talked to Continental about this several times, they sometimes reduce the amount of flights to POP but it never lasts.


    Wherever I May Roam

    And the road becomes my bride
    I have stripped of all but pride
    So in her I do confide
    And she keeps me satisfied
    Gives me all I need

    And with dust in throat I crave
    Only knowledge will I save
    To the game you stay a slave

    Roamer, wanderer
    Nomad, vagabond
    Call me what you will

    But I'll take my time anywhere
    Free to speak my mind anywhere
    And I'll redefine anywhere

    Anywhere I may roam
    Where I lay my head is home

    H.C.I.S.O.C.

    Yeah, they did the same thing to me, but on my return flight - moved it from Wednesday, 11/29 to Friday, 12/1. Problem was, they only moved one leg, so I wound up having reservations from San Juan to Seattle two days before I went from Puerto Plata to San Juan!!! I wound up cancelling the whole flight with them, and found an American fare for $30 cheaper.

    I have another flight scheduled from Dec 28th until Jan 7th, so I guess I'll have to check on that one as well.

    I know that sometimes they'll cancel a flight and re-schedule, but my assumption has been because there wasn't enough people flying that particular flight. However, this is the first time I've heard that they simply won't be running daily routes, especially considering that it is the holiday season.

    I had the same issue. When I checked my flight I found that I was going from Providence to Newark on Nov 14th, and then from Newark to POP on Nov 12th. Didn't make sense, of course. I hope this holiday season travel doesn't turn out to be a mess!

    Question what airlines are we using the most?

    i'm curious about a few things:

    1) what airline do you prefer and why

    2) what airport do you use most in the DR

    3) what major hub in the US, or Canada, do you fly from/thru? jfk, yyz, ewr, atl, miami...whatever

    4) do you usually get a direct flight?

    and any other tidbits you care to share.

    toronto direct to puerto plata no stops.
    once on board you just have time;
    for a drink
    for breakfast
    for a drink
    watch the movie
    have a drink
    fill out the cutom forms
    have a drink
    land and clear customs
    and buy a presidente outside
    you only live once, but if you live it right once is enough

    i live in canada but mostly fly from the US, atleast in the past for the savings. i usually fly thru ewr or jfk but cannot usually get a direct flight unless i fly from toronto.

    My top choice is definitely EWR to POP because its non stop. I have done EWR ro STI (nonstop) also which actually isnt that bad on the way in. The departure from STI is kinda early in the daytime so you either have to head to STI for the last night or rush off at like 9am to the airport from Sosua. If I fly out from POP I dont have to rush to the airport. I can relax until about noontime.

    Re: what airlines are we using the most?

    recently i've flown delta, continental and jet blue but mostly continental.

    conntinental and delta both fly from my home so all costs in it's only about $100-150 more and it saves me a lot of travel time and hassle.

    sometimes i have to fly from the US to get the best connections or if the price is too much better but i'm now trying to fly from home. even driving to toronto is 4 hours each way with fuel costs and parking too.

    we are definitely spoiled in the NY/NJ area. Prices seem to be going up but you can still find some $300-$350 round trip tickets(including taxes) if you plan ahead.
