what airlines are we using the most?

[Cheeno]

Hey guys,

I got a letter in the mail about a promotion. From July 12 through Oct 12, 2005, you can earn triple AAdvantage miles for double dip stays. To double dip, just provide your Hilton HHonors and AAdvantage account #'s when making reservations and at check-in. If you are not already an HHonors member, you can enroll at www.hiltonfamily.com

www.hiltoncaribbean.com/santodomingo

To receive triple AAdvantage miles. Request Plan Code QL when making reservations.

I emailed this place if they are chica-friendly or not. They have not replied yet.

[Cheeno]

I just realized that this hotel has the largest casino in Santo Domingo.

Has anyone been to this casino before? Do they have a lot of girls to choose from? :evil:

Also, does anyone know if this hotel is chica-friendly?

[JDR]

It has to be brand new.

[Cheeno]

I emailed the hotel, asking them if the hotel is chica-friendly.

This is the answer I got.

Only the person that have being register on the
hotel can have access to the room.

If you going to have any visit?the person have to left at the front desk any
id, and have to has the approval of the front desk .

[JDR]

We need to e mail them as The I.S.O.C. Inc. and get a corporate rate.

Now that is real nice.

This place was fully booked so I was unable to stay there.

[Cheeno]

Just a reminder, from now until Nov. 14th, you only need 25,000 miles plus a tax of around $70 to $100 for a round trip from NYC to the DR.
AA said that only 25,000 miles is required because business is slow during this time.

AA usually requires 30,000 miles plus a tax of around $80 to $100.

Welcome to ISOC..


Try going Jet Blue into Santiago.

[guttaman]

I think i saw some direct flights to SDQ on AA for about $550 around FEB/MARCH. Give me a direct flight to POP for $550 from Logan i would book a week for both months. Also search the Vacation outlet travel agents for a charter. Unfortunately most charters out of BOS are going to Punta Cana.

Hey Boston Rob, How about them COLTS!!!

Game, Boston Rob was the dude on Survivor. The Colts are for real. The Patriots will limp into the playoffs because their division is weak. I hope the Colts do win it. They deserve a ring. Boston Jim

[El Drunko]

I just completed a price check on Spirit from PVD-SDQ on Nov24-30. Those just happen to be the dates that I will be there and wanted to know the differance in airfare.

Spirit $567.60 Buissness class PVD-FLL-SDQ
Spirit $367.60 Coach

I am paying $540 on AA PVD-ORD-SJU-POP in Coach. Its an 11 trip to get there. Also I am returning into BOS so that means I have an 1 1/2 wait to catch a bus back home again.

From MA and RI its a royal pain in the ass to get to the DR. Its also very expensive. This is part of the reason I have been bitching and complaining lately. I was on the phone with Jayman just yesterday morning telling him how I have been looseing intrest in going down there. I may have to look into this myself. The question remains, how much of a pain in the ass is it to get from POP to SDQ? I know its cheap, but is it worth $200? Remember, if I had a 3pm flight out of SDQ and I was at BB's. I would probably have to leave there at 8 am to catch my 3pm flight.

[DRJones]

Jet Blue just announced 8 RT flights daily from Boston to JFK. Every evening there is a Jet Blue flight to Santiago that leaves around 9:40pm and arrives after 2:00 a.m. There are hotels in Santiago, there's a bus to Sosua every hour beginning at 6 am or you can take a taxi to Sosua for about $50.
Getting to paradise from Boston just got a lot easier!

[El Drunko]

Now that I am on a roll looking at different airlines, I just looked at JetBlue. They have BOS-STI for $640 on the dates I want to be there. Lets keep in mind thier ungodly arrival and departure times. I could deal with arriveing at 3am, in fact that wouldn`t be too bad. But to leave at 3 am, OMG I'd never make it to the plane, Id still be out drinking.

Hmmm maybe a combo of different airlines and cities. OK, we can do a BOS-STI for $130 one way, thats on a Fri night. now to get home again.

$155 STI-BOS is a possible fare on Jetblue. Not too bad. Thats a Thursday morning flight.

$285 Round trip, priced out as 2 one way tickets. Not bad at all. Compared to the normal $500-$600 we normally pay, I might be able to suck it up for a trip or 2.

With a little playing around with one way tickets, airports, cities and airlines. I might be able to make a cheaper trip after all.

Good job sailor, One post made me look at a few different options that I didn`t think of before. With Jetblue now doing the BOS-JFK and Spirit doing SDQ I might be able to make the DR a viable option again. I'm real tired of paying $500-$600 airfares, 4 times a year.

It certainly did......now if only AA would follow through and match airfares, wow what a differance that will make.

OK anyone wanna buy a slightly used future wife? I may not need her anymore :twisted: WOW I'm gonna rot in hell for that one :eldrunko:

[jimrock187]

how come there seems to be no more direct flights to POP from JFK??

I'm thinking about hitting up Sosua again... or maybe should I try hitting up SD?

[Bug Boy]

I believe it was about a month ago AA eliminated all direct flights to POP.

How many times have you been to Sosua? If only once or twice then stick with Sosua. Make five or six Sosua trips then maybe try Santo Domingo or Boca Chica.

[MegaSquirt]

It ended the last weekend in April. I was lucky enough to get one to POP from JFK. I believe Jimmy was on AA on the very last day of nonstop service out of JFK.
I think Delta is adding new nonstop service to POP in late December. We need to contact these airlines to add more options. I hate switching planes! :eek: :eek:

[jimrock187]

are there any alternative ways to get to POP direct from JFK??
Does Newark offer direct flights to POP?

Continental has a flight almost everyday from EWR to POP nonstop

[Dick Dawson]

And only Continental does it directly.

[psriches]

Continental has a flight almost everyday from EWK to POP nonstopI got EWR-STI for $295, then rented a car.

[the_Jayman]

Continental has a flight almost everyday from EWK to POP nonstop

Phoenix meant EWR which = Newark, New Jersey, USA . . .

that changes tru-out the year . . . sometimes it's everyday Newark to POP and other times it's 3 days out of the week . . .

Newark NJ to STI is damn close to 365 days a year . . .

(if you have to change planes on your way to the DR DON'T DO IT in Miami . . .

I HATE THAT AIRPORT ! ! :psriches1: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :fight: :fight: :fight: :bash:

that Continental is no longer flying daily flights from Newark to POP? I went online looking to possibly change my upcoming flight and found that although I was originally scheduled to leave on Nov. 14th, my itinerary had been changed to the 12th. I wasn't aware of the change as I had not received an e-mail notice.

When I contacted them to find out what was going on I was told that the change was due to the fact that they no longer fly daily from Newark to POP. Anybody else aware of this?

It's not a big problem for me; I was able to change my departure to the 10th and extend my return to Dec. 1st and add an additional week to my trip, but I was wondering if CO's schedule change is true as it will have to be considered when planning future trips and, preferring to travel on Tuesdays, it looks like I'll have to start looking at a different departure day.

[ErikS]

I just booked two trips on CO. EWR nonstop to POP.

Departing Jan 6th (Sat) - Returning Feb 1st (Thurs)

Departing March 3rd (Sat) - Returning March 26 (Mon)


Maybe I was just lucky with my dates?

[Phoenix]

I have talked to Continental about this several times, they sometimes reduce the amount of flights to POP but it never lasts.

Yeah, they did the same thing to me, but on my return flight - moved it from Wednesday, 11/29 to Friday, 12/1. Problem was, they only moved one leg, so I wound up having reservations from San Juan to Seattle two days before I went from Puerto Plata to San Juan!!! I wound up cancelling the whole flight with them, and found an American fare for $30 cheaper.

I have another flight scheduled from Dec 28th until Jan 7th, so I guess I'll have to check on that one as well.

[Rubicon]

I know that sometimes they'll cancel a flight and re-schedule, but my assumption has been because there wasn't enough people flying that particular flight. However, this is the first time I've heard that they simply won't be running daily routes, especially considering that it is the holiday season.

I had the same issue. When I checked my flight I found that I was going from Providence to Newark on Nov 14th, and then from Newark to POP on Nov 12th. Didn't make sense, of course. I hope this holiday season travel doesn't turn out to be a mess!

[Beads]

it seems they did cut out some flight days.

[Apos]

i'm curious about a few things:

1) what airline do you prefer and why

2) what airport do you use most in the DR

3) what major hub in the US, or Canada, do you fly from/thru? jfk, yyz, ewr, atl, miami...whatever

4) do you usually get a direct flight?

and any other tidbits you care to share.

[Jimmydr]

Santiago airport because they have direct flights from NY.

[WSJ3_Sith_Lord]

It terms of time it works out to be the same if you drive to STI or use POP for a connection Miami.

[whynotme]

toronto direct to puerto plata no stops.
once on board you just have time;
for a drink
for breakfast
for a drink
watch the movie
have a drink
fill out the cutom forms
have a drink
land and clear customs
and buy a presidente outside

[Apos]

i live in canada but mostly fly from the US, atleast in the past for the savings. i usually fly thru ewr or jfk but cannot usually get a direct flight unless i fly from toronto.

[RSMMAN]

THE CHEAPEST AND SHORTEST TIME :-}~

[Beads]

My top choice is definitely EWR to POP because its non stop. I have done EWR ro STI (nonstop) also which actually isnt that bad on the way in. The departure from STI is kinda early in the daytime so you either have to head to STI for the last night or rush off at like 9am to the airport from Sosua. If I fly out from POP I dont have to rush to the airport. I can relax until about noontime.

[Hemp]

delta is working for me so far pretty good...wish jet blue would get its act together though!!!

[Apos]

recently i've flown delta, continental and jet blue but mostly continental.

conntinental and delta both fly from my home so all costs in it's only about $100-150 more and it saves me a lot of travel time and hassle.

sometimes i have to fly from the US to get the best connections or if the price is too much better but i'm now trying to fly from home. even driving to toronto is 4 hours each way with fuel costs and parking too.

[Beads]

we are definitely spoiled in the NY/NJ area. Prices seem to be going up but you can still find some $300-$350 round trip tickets(including taxes) if you plan ahead.

[Apos]

i can fly from:

syracuse (to STI) in late january for $339.90 all in (4:30am arrival time) with jetblue ( but need to stay in a cabaña or expensive taxi or bus to boca chica AND a 6:00am return departure AND a 3.5 hour drive to/from home each way)

syracuse (to SDQ, my preferance) for just under $450 thru either atlanta (i really like this airport and only a 58 minute layover!) or jfk (but a 16+ hour layover!!!) on delta

syracuse (to SDQ) for $475 thru ewr (13 hour layover!!!)

home to SDQ on continental for under $700 (but save $150 in travel and parking cost but over 12 hour layover!!!)

what would you do?

if the weather is clear syracuse is looking good, unfortunately.

[Ram]

You should try Montreal. Flights are direct, no customs(yet), 1 1/2 hour drive(or less) and only $54.95 cdn a week to park. I have seen flights for $100 cdn + $275 cdn....$375 for a direct 4 hour flight.

but not from homebase...the charters are usually silly in price and often leave midweek.

i'm "trying" to leave fridaynight and return a week the sunday having the best part of 9 days on the island....but if i can save $400CAD i may have to be happy with 7 days instead.

[TG37]

I have only flew out of Toronto into POP . I usually get a free bump up to first class.. with Airtransat .. but I got a credit with USair I will be flying from Buffalo into Santo Domingo

[Pana]

I like the AA flight out of JFK to STI, I always catch the 6am flight, touch down in DR by 930am with a cerveza presidente in hand and than it's all good from there on :D.

[leeway99]

I like Cont. to EWR. to POP. My last trip was AA to Mia. I had a 2 hr layover.
Now, Delta is flying out of Bwi, so my next trip will be on Delta to Atl. to POP.

[kiddfrost]

Well I currently live in ATL. Delta has flights direct to DR at a good price.

[WSJ3]

I've done EWR New Jersey to STI my first two trips on Continental, non-stop, about $350. For my 3rd visit in December I caught a Continental Non-Stop to POP but had to pay $416 because I waited too long.

First two trips into STI took Caribe Bus from Santiago to Sosua, nice comfortable ride, plenty of chicas to peruse. I think it's about $8usd one way for the bus ride.

It will be nice flying into & out of POP this time.

[prtyr2]

AA direct from NYC or Miami to SDQ. Sometimes I fly Jetblue direct from NY or Boston to SDQ. I have flown Jet Blue enough to have 2 free flights saved up and the same with AA. I have done the EWR to SDQ in the past and have 3 free flights with continental but may save those to go from texas to SDQ or vice versa.

[gmalet]

I get fucked here in Chicago.
AA Ohare to MIA then MIA to POP.
Delta Ohare to ATL then ATL to POP.

No direct flights and they are always over 500 bucks.

I usually fly AA, Delta or Continental from JFK/Newark - STI. And most of the time for about $265.

My cousin teaches at a NYC public school and they have winter recess Feb. 19-23. I looked up flights for the 17th-25th as those dates include the Sat/Sun before and after that work week. Do you know how much they all want? $800. Even Jet Blue. The week after, the costs are back to normal ($3-350). This is just obscene. I mean, jack it up $100, fine, but to more than double the price is robbery. I'll walk to the DR before i give them $800 to fly me there. I'm just really disgusted by this.

[scoochamenz1]

shit, i'm out here in vegas and everything is like 700 and a 12 hour flight including connection in miami. i'm 6'3" and like 350 lbs. not a very appealing thought. might have to get some ambien to make it bearable.

DR1 TODAY
Attention Canadian travelers
Whether you are resident in the United States or will transit the United States on your way to Canada or other destinations, it is important that you and your family members are aware of new requirements for Canadian travelers under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
As of January 23, 2007, the United States' Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) will require Canadian citizens to present one of the following documents when entering or transiting the United States by air:
- A valid Canadian passport;
- A NEXUS Air card when used at a NEXUS Air kiosk.
Note that as of that date, Canadians entering or transiting the United States by air without the required documentation are likely to be referred for secondary screening, where US Customs and Border Protection officers will evaluate any evidence of citizenship and identity. As a result, Canadians without the required documentation may be prevented from boarding their flights. Delays and unexpected financial expenses may also occur.
The Government of Canada continues to recommend that Canadians carry a valid Canadian passport for all visits to the United States. Please note that Canadians are not required to have Machine Readable Passports to enter the United States, even if the passport was issued abroad. Canada is not a participant in the US Visa Waiver Program.

[SJG]

Yes, we have to stop these fucking Canadians!! They are flying everywhere! Like Cuba! BASTARDS!

There are a dozen travel agents in the town of Sosua that handle that.

Gdogg....several years ago there use to be an airline called Air Santo Domingo, but can't locate them on the web today. Try the BUS.....or maybe I should buy a bus, Tropic Bob Tours, and I can shuttle mongers across the island....hmm. that may be an idea!

[TropicBob]

P.. I know there are charters, but at a high cost per person

We were planning to fly out to POP from ORD in September but the ticket prices are over $500.00. Can somone tell me if it is worth to fly out to SJU for $350.00 and take a cab or something to Sosua? How far is it?

Thank you for your help.

taxis were $80 each way and it takes about 75-90 minutes.

Hi Jimmy, thank you so much for a quick response. How does the customs works in SJU? Do we have to do customs in SJU and in DR? Where do we do the customs for DR?

Since we are a group of 10 - 12 guys from Chicago, the savings we are looking at is around $1250 total!!!

As in all countries, customs in in the airport.

[kuttappan]

Great!!! If we are getting to DR via road, where do they check customs? I am sure few people in this forum have gone to Sosua through SJU. I greatly appreciate your feedback.

Where do you think you are going? There are no custom checks on the road.

SJU will be you entry and exit for US customs. In the DR customs are in the arriving and departing airports.

A cab for POP airport to Sosua will be about @20 US

Isn't there some confusion here?

SJU is San Juan in Puerto Rico.

How is he going to take a cab to Sosúa?

Reminds me of Dominican Billy's story of visiting a Dominican family in the DR when he was still living in Canada. They asked him whether he drove all the way from Toronto.

The only place from where you can get to the DR by road is Haïti.

[weyland]

taxis were $80 each way and it takes about 75-90 minutes.
And were they fitted with floats?

[kuttappan]

Yes, I am sorry, I was confused!!! LOLLL .... I typed the wrong airport code!!! I meant to say STI and Jimmy's answer was correct since he thought I was asking about STI .... ;)

Yes. He speaks your language. I don't.

It still doesn't explain your question about "getting to the DR by road".

by the time you factor in cab fares it is a wash if you are traveling alone. let the time wheels up ord to wheels down DR be the deciding factor. some of those flights dont get in til the middle of the night, effectively blowing a day of vacation time

I know that you can fly direct to POP from Montreal, Toronto, New York, and Miami. Anyone know of any airlines that fly direct to POP from other cities?

Halifax seems to as well. This site shows the direct and indirect, which can change from high to low season.

ATL but only once a week I believe.

just wish Spirit had chosen that over Santiago.....that would have certainly kept the prices down at POP

[papi_sosua]

As usual, you don't have a clue, but are never afraid to pull an opinion straight out of your ass!

Delta discontinued the ATL-POP route many months go after going from daily, thrice weekly, to once weekly.

But as you said: You BELIEVE....!


ATL but only once a week I believe.

[Pacoloco]

Well I believe...starting Saturdays Dec. 18 through April 2011 ~ Delta 323 ATL-POP, return flight Delta 324 POP-ATL

[princepointe]

Thanks Pacoloco. I was about to post that but decided not to feed someone who is CLEARLY a troll. I called Delta and she told me that but she wasn't exactly sure when they were starting but knew it was in Dec.
