American Airlines will suspend New York City/JFK-Puerto Plata flights on 29Apr06. AA has successfully served this route for years, but the addition of Santiago to their network has huge effects on traffic (STI and POP are 24 miles apart). The suspension is indefinite. I guess the North Coast is finished with tourism from Americans every American is going to Punta Cana instead I would to Puerto Plata is a dump.

They changed my flight and after a short fight I was swiched to the Santiago flight for no fee.

Continental seems to be reducing flights to POP
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

This sux!!
How much and how long is a Santiago - Sosua cab ride??
Might stopping in Miami or San Juan before Puerto Plata be preferable?
Bitch you wasn't with me shootin' in the gym ...
Administrator
1 hour and 20 minutes by taxi. It runs about $50 - $60 but you can share a cab.
Safado aka Bunda Bandit
I haven't even heard of $60. My last 2 trips, they asked for $75 from STI to Sosua.
Administrator
Daniello will pick you up or you ask for the posted rates which should be 1,900 pesos I believe.

Charged us $70 to go to Santiago yesterday. Says it is now $80.
Administrator
He needs $80? He must be nuts.

$80 is 2 days car rental.
Administrator
Both ways is 4 days of rental. Lets see $80 each way x 6 days. $480 a week, I can be a taxi guy there.
Safado aka Bunda Bandit
no more taxis for me. renting a car is much better. it's basically the same amount of a 4 day trip.
Administrator
I guess cars are the way to go.
Active I.S.O.C. Member
If this is going to be the going rate and I have to fly into STI I think I will get a car. I might grab one for a few days in April to try driving there and do a roadtrip with the wife
