Forget the D.R. on Delta during that period. I was just plugging in dates and they come up consistently higher than the other airlines by almost $200. I think they've got a lot of vouchers set to expire within that timeframe.
I'd do the next best thing. They've got R/T's from Newark to San Juan for $323 all day long. Pack your clubs and just go for a golf weekend and a late November tan. Who knows? You may get laid as well.

Yep....Atlanta.
I did a flex weekend search on Delta's web site and they came up with 2 ea. $240 (before tax) 4 and 5 day weekends, 2 ea. $254 2 and 3 day weekends and 2 ea. $294 2 and 3 day weekends between NYC aiports and SJU.
A 4:03 flight direct from JFK-SJU with tax is $261.80
The 8:53 min EWR-ATL-SJU is (with tax) $302.80.
Shit, I'd do it.
My last flight ever on US Airways was a free miles round trip to SXM. It cost me $53 and they'll never get me on another flight of theirs, ever. He who laughs lasts' laughs last.
Delta Air Lines Announces New Schedules Between New York City and the Dominican Republic
Delta resumes weekly service to Santo Domingo and Santiago starting Dec. 13, 2008.* (these will be non-stop saturday flights only)
ATLANTA, Aug. 26, 2008 – Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today announced a schedule change for flights connecting New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Santo Domingo and Santiago, Dominican Republic. The two routes will operate on Saturdays starting Dec. 13, 2008.
Delta currently offers daily nonstop service between New York-JFK and Santo Domingo and Santiago. These flights will be temporarily suspended in mid-September and will return as a weekly frequency in December, just in time for the holiday rush.
Also in December, Delta will begin nonstop service between Atlanta and Santiago, making the Dominican Republic the country with the most routes for the airline in the Caribbean.
These flights complement Delta’s current nonstop service connecting Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Santo Domingo, Punta Cana and Puerto Plata.
“Delta is responding to the needs of the growing Dominican population in New York City, especially during the holiday season when so many of our valued customers fly home to visit friends and family,” said Christophe Didier, Delta’s vice president for Sales and Government Affairs for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Delta’s schedule between New York-JFK and Santo Domingo starting Dec. 13, 2008:
DL493
New York-JFK at 8:35 a.m.
Santo Domingo at 1:50 p.m.

I dunno about this. As of today Delta's best price (from JFK) is $597 on a flight that takes 17:10 down and 19:48 back and JetBlue on the same dates is $385 for a 3:44 down and 3:56 back direct flight.
I say go to Atlanta for the weekend (EWR-ATL=$239, 2:19 down, 2:05 back) and book your Dominican trip for a later date on JetBlue. There's a lot of fun shit to do in Atlanta and lodging and car rental are cheap.
OK, so where did I go??
(hint I'm at a Hilton)
Ehh.. Not quite,,,,
Milwalkee, Wisconsin!!
Decided to use the delta credit to attend a business conference/seminar.
And I did some research, the monger scene up here sucks.
I'd look into a craigs list or back page, but I'm afraid the girl that shows up would look like the banned photo of 3somes girl!
So maybe a strip club if that and an early night, I got an 8 am class.
Well the inside of my room looks like the Hilton in Santo Domingo, I'll have to use my imagination and your post and close the blinds and dream of the malecon!!
Was checking flights to Puerto Plata in January and noticed on Saturdays Delta has a non stop flight JFK -POP using a 737-800. It also says subject to government approval. However the total price comes out to $501 which is higher than Jet Blue.
Did anyone book on Delta yet ?
I received an e mail for Jamaica as well. Many places are hurting now.
I hope this lower's the prices.
this morning received an email - New York to Montego Bay, Jamaica is only $198 R/T on AirJamaica for January tru middle of Feb.......plus tax.......the total is under $300 R/T.......non stop........likkle cheaper from Orlando for mi!
For some reason the taxes are only $101 round trip which is less than Continental and Jet Blue JFK-POP.
