AA $314 r/t fares from LGA-POP

[deezl]

So, in trying to compete with JetBlue & Continentals recent decision to post a bunch of $300 flights to POP (from JFK & EWR respectively) American has followed with $314 r/t fares from Laguardia. Unfortunately (as with all the AA flights to POP) they aren't direct but have a stopover in MIA.

What's kind of ridiculous is that (like JB & CO) these flights are $99 each way plus taxes, but you can't get a flight from MIA-POP direct for under $399.

Is this for September ?

Right now it looks like they have flights for September through December, but I don't imagine that fare will last longer than a few days. It'll probably be done by Monday when airlines have to readjust their pricing for FAA flight taxes.

Continental bumped their lowest fare back to $422 after about 2 days, I think the Jet Blue deal lasted about 5 days.

I have not seen it under 495 in a while MIA-POP

STI sounds niceee.

And STI sounds like $25 US away from Sosua and that is with airport cab and bus fare to Sosua. That is the same 25 bucks POP taxi mafia try to charge you for their 7 minutes ride SMH, guys hang strong on the 20 bucks or less one of them always take it

That is a personal choice of course depends on the amount of the price different but I rather be landing with a direct flight at 10:45am in Santiago then taking the MIA route and risk delays which can make even after running through the terminal like OJ could make me miss my flight or I don't know what over there. Usually noting happens but while you're transferring hauling your ass in MIA I'm already in the Caribbean with all the sight, sound and smell of it in the Caribe tour bus molesting a young dominicana til death do us part!

I love the late flights because I can leave after work. What I hate is these connections on AA...I dont want to be in Miami for any amount of time. That heat isnt something i want to experience while waiting for a flight. I'll do it for the miles though if its necessary.

I have to try that Caribe tour bus sometime that or the Metrooo.

I have something I want to try out when I get to DR again. There is a cab guy i'm hiring for my whole trip at a flat rate, in exchange he promises to be on call and take me anywhere and everywhere I want. Its close to about 100 USD, I wrote the price down in RD in a notebook but it was like 2500 to 4000 pesos.

The mafia would try to stick me for that much just to get to Sosua from STI, this guy will not only take me to sosua but bring me back to the airport for my flight back. I already had him pick up a member from another board for 80usd from Nagua to Sosua. Worked out well.

You should save that exact part, make a new thread about it and call it "Dominican Republic: using the road less travelled" I know for a fact that Crytonb99 does it, no doubt others do to, but at least C99 posted a trip report about it => http://news.insearchofchicas.org/for...-my-trip-to-DR

We are getting out of subject and it's at that moment that you become the author my ninja, do it

100usd for your whole trip, but 80usd from Nagua to Sosua? Are you staying for just a couple of days?
