British Airways is launching twice-weekly services from Gatwick to Punta Cana in its winter schedule. Fares will start from ?559 to Punta Cana, including taxes, fees and charges. "These new routes and increased frequencies underline our commitment to the Caribbean," said general manager for global corporate sales Richard Tams. The new flights will launch from 25 October 2009. Tickets are on sale from Friday, 22 May 2009 through www.ba.com and direct through BA reservations on 0844 493 0787.
This is the first direct scheduled flight from the DR to England. Tams explains the new route: "It's a popular destination with our customers and it's due to demand that we're increasing the number of flights to the region."
British Airways now has 45 weekly flights to 13 destinations in the Caribbean.
The flight begins at a time when the British market is relatively strong. In April, travel from the UK was up 4.8%, in contrast to declines from other leading European destinations.
