[sicpup71]

how much do u spend on airfare a yr?? how many miles do you fly?? over $10,000 and 250,00 miles??

[BrooklynBeas]

Airfare on average of $400 to the DR... sometimes more sometimes less... Times that by 4 trips a year on average and you got $1600...

1500 miles each way means 3000 a trip times 4 = 12,000

I suck...

[Jimmydr]

I spend about $1,200 but I get 1 voucher yearly for $400.

Explain what? Getting bumped and given a voucher?

[MegaSquirt]

Jimmy...if you're bumped from a flight, do you stay an extra day in DR, or they just put you on the next flight?

I want to go back in November! But, I can't go before that. :toast:

I have stayed 3 extra days and I have gone thru other cities.

Back in February I took a flight on a Saturday with Continental out of Newark. I could have gotten a $500 voucher and a first class seat on a flight the next day. I passed on it cause I wanted so bad to get to DR at that time. Now I regret it.
As for the question, mine is the same as Beas: 4 trips a year at now an average of $450 out of New York area

[Kevy]

I thought you guys were paying around 300 a flight out of New York.

Continental nearly gave me a $400 voucher on my last trip in Newark. The fllight to Buffalo was overbooked, but I missed out by one person.

[MegaSquirt]

Jimmy...I'm thinking of flying into Miami via AA and change to another plane that will take me into POP. But, the thing is you have to wait upto 3.5hrs for the next plane at Miami. Did you try this in the past and if so, how was it? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

On average... I paid as low as $265 and as high as $565.90 (last week& and last minute)

[Dr_Strangelove]

how much do u spend on airfare a yr?? how many miles do you fly?? over $10,000 and 250,00 miles??

http://www.aairpass.com/

Sicup, as I read it it is $ 10,000 for 25,000 miles or $ 19,500 for 50,000 miles. I easily fly 50,000 miles a year, but I doubt that I spend that much money on it. I have to double-check, but it doesn't seem like a very good deal.

$265,,,,,,,,,,the good old days. I remember paying $265 to go to Costa Rica. DR is up to $450 out of EWR now!

from what i take from it is that you can fly whenever you want , so if it's thursday and u want to go to the dr you just find the flight and your there.

[gdogg]

I've paid $700-800 the last three trips. To hell with all youse New York BASTARDS!!

[balcoach]

Just booked my first Intl flight out of Richmond VA, being my first trip abroad since i moved here.
AA tix RIC - STI 328+ taxes = 459 total, not to bad after shopping.

just used to living in FL and flying out of MIA and MCO good ole TACA days to Costa rica...189 total/RT those are definatly gone

I will be there in Late July, hope to see some of the fellas

Hollar at your boy

[Kevy]

You gonna Holler at us with CR stories?

[balcoach]

Kevy:

What ever you would like to know, give me a shout, or shout it out here, I can answer what ever you like. You might enjoy a stroll around Parque Morazon' at night.

:smile:

[Kevy]

I wouldn't mind reading a trip report with some pictures of the ticas, maybe Ian idea about what to expect there. We don't have much about it on this board, except jimmy went ot the Zoo there.:D

[balcoach]

Kevy:

They have a pretty good zoo!
For all first timers I highly reccomend at least your first couple of nights to be spent at the Hotel Del Rey/Blue Marlin. This is the epicenter of the Tica Buffet, but there are always some nice side items: Comombianas, Nicas, y Dominicanas. So if you have certain itch, you should be able to itch it here as well as the sister to this place across the street at the KEY LARGO were there is much more of a Party, Dance, Live Music Situation, where the Blue Marlin, is kinda the typical bar, chat you up scene.

And from there , the world is your oyster, depending on what you like. There are trips to the beach with your choice of guest, the massage parlors, some good casinos, the strip joints(night clubs they are called), to the novia scene, what ever you like.

And if you want to escape the mongering for a while, there is so much else to divert your attention.

A days walk, chill session on Avenida Central can be an incredible visual sensation,along with a night out to El Pueblo to rock it with the local hotties, if your younger and decent looking, you can pull in there for the low low cost of maybe a dinner.

haven't been to cr in about a year so i can't speak as to the economy of the puta situation these days, but in the past, i had luck with 60-70USD ST, to 100 TLN, which definately is more cost effective in the DR, just the selection maybe not as varied. The columbiana hard core putas drive up the market. and the uneducated so called mongers.

just a tid bit for you kevy and any one else, i know it doesn fit the post, but i was asked to expound a lil, so had to comply

[Kevy]

The zoo looked good in the pictures

[psriches]

$265,,,,,,,,,,the good old days. I remember paying $265 to go to Costa Rica. DR is up to $450 out of EWR now!In 2004, we were getting those AA $235 specials for JFK/POP..........

[Mr Bambino]

I am trying to price up airfare to pop. I usually fly conitnental but the days I want to fly there prices are high. AA seems to have some good rates.

Mr BambinoAA was good when i was looking but jetblue got my $$$ this time

[Mr Bambino]

Jetblue is cheaper. I never flew with them before. I heard good things about jetblue. Only thing I dont like is flying at 2 am or 6 am. But I may give it a try on the fly back. Its cheaper buying one way tickets for the days I am going. Hey man, when you gotta go you gotta go.
