AA to cancel weekend non-stop flights to POP

[ErikS]

all the flights out of new york appear to be connecting fliights.

I think I just booked one of the last AA non-stop JFK to POP flights.
28 April flight# 1797.
My return flight on 7 May is POP-SJU-JFK.
Total cost = $331.40

The cheaper Delta flights seem to have disappeared also.
JFK-STI on those dates on Delta was $324.40

------
My 29 June-6 Jul trip is $338.40 on AA
JFK-MIA-POP ....... POP-MIA-JFK

Continental nonstop from EWR was $469.50

Delta did not have a flight on 29 June, but for 28 Jun - 6 Jul, JFK-STI was $674.00 ..........that's crazy!!!!.....what, do they think I live in someplace like Atlanta, Detroit or Phoenix???


So right now the prices from NYC seem to be just about the same going into either POP or STI.

So the choice is between:
Non-stop into STI...and then taxi , rental car, or Caribe Tours Bus.

Connecting flights into POP.....with a relitively cheap taxi into town (or even cheaper gua-gua or even moto if you travel light).

If I was going to fly into STI, I'd take AA just because they have multiple flights all day long. Delta only has one a day each way,and Jet Blue still has those weird middle of the night arrivals and departures.
--------
For about 100 bucks more, you can fly out of Newark, non-stop into POP on Continental, but again, they only have one flight a day!


Still, it is nice to have choices!

This is not good news. However it sounds like we will all be able to adapt.
Going forward I wonder if Samana is going to change to become a mongering spot after the International Airport opens there.

Maybe after they finish the highway from SD to there.

With AA cutting flights this must be why Continental is raising prices. My only good option for the July trip is to fly into STI. The price for that trip is usually 495, now it is 600. The beauty of capitilism

I am finding the prices have been raised by Continental for July.

[JDR]

Summer is always high season there.

the prices have atleast doubled for me...paid $345 CAD last 2 trips out of SYRACUSE for 1 stop in newark. now atleast 1 or 2 stops plus overnight layover.

best i can find is about $800 CAD 1 stop or direct.

GREEDY FUCKERS!!!!!!!

I am not pulling the trigger on the July trip until I get back from the next one in May. I might go for 14 days if the team at work learns to back me up good.
