to lessen the pain of that, here's a groupon for parking at EWR:

Shit man, 45 hours of travel time is substantial. Tack on $120 for hotel rooms in MIA and it starts to sound pretty damn lucrative for $365.
Of coarse, price depends on travel dates. Right know, travel from NYC to POP via jetBlue is $720 (8/28-9/3) with a comparative three hours longer flight time on American @ $790. Outfuckinrageous!
The ones who care don't know anymore, and the ones who know don't care ~ Yuri Orlov.
that's kinda what pisses me off. AA can charge $250-260 for these flights yet the best available nonstop is $500+? That's some horseshit right there.
Or, you know, just fly into STI.
Oh, and AA didn't stop at POP, either. They have $235 r/t flights to MBJ and sub $200 flights to St Lucia (all with the same shitty layovers).
STI is $511 for those same dates, but you almost have to go the night before ( midnight dep, arrive at 310 am ) They say 3:30 but you always arrive 20 mins Early on that flight.. it my favorite flight.
just FYI, not tryin ta pour gas on the prev comment..
Actually, the number of passengers is only one of many factors in airline pricing.
It is the biggest fucking racket ever and data-mining through sites like Kayak has only made it worst. Do us all a favor folks and clear your web browser cache after visiting travel sites
they probably haven't. it's such an insignificant number overall. when I'm sitting in the terminal I can usually spot the mongers waiting to board, and it's usually less than ten out of 150+.
the thing they have definitely noticed is that overall tourism to the puerto plata area is down to half of what it was 5-6+ years ago.
but that still doesn't account for the high prices, there are still a lot more tourists flying into POP than AZS, but you can regularly find fares to AZS in the $350-400 neighborhood, at POP you're lucky if it drops under $470.
Yeah but hell they have layovers...
