Spirit Flights that land at 2:00am in Santiago

[panicmechanic]

Has anyone taken one of these SpiritAir flights that land in Santiago at 2am. I could only use my Spirit air miles one one of these flights. It looks like the first buses to Sosua roll out of Santiago at 830am. So the question is, 'What does one do in the 6 hours in the middle of the night, in a foreign city, for the first time?'. I have been in this position once before, in Boston, first trip, I slept in the bus station until the sun came up, then hit the streets, so my default will be the same here, stay at the gate till sunup, hit streets, look for food, wait for bus. What have others done is my query?

I would say rent a car but the rental spots are prob closed... Im sure you can find a hotel for the night in STI and grab a cab to that hotel...

Myself and Naptime have done it. Naps done it quite a bit more than me. I only did it once (enough for me).

You can either sleep in the terminal, and head to the bus station around 7 or 7:30am. Your going to have to catch a taxi from the airport to the bus station. I wouldn't advise going to the bus station to sleep.

Or, you can hire a private taxi for $80 to drive you directly from the airport when you land, to Sosua.

Tell a taxi driver to take you to Pasion. Pick up one of the freelancers that hang out outside the main gate. Take her back to any of the many cabanas on the Autopista (Zeus is the closest one to Pasion). Fuck her, sleep for a couple of hours, take a taxi in the morning to the Metro.

Sleeping at the terminal sounds like it sucks. There's no place to sleep inside the terminal for arriving flights. You don't necessarily have to have a chica to stay in the cabanas. I'd take a taxi to a cabana, pay 700 pesos for the night and have a bed, A/C and unlimited porn on the tv. The taxi shouldn't be expensive since the cabanas are less than 5 minutes away.

flights that land at 2:00am in the Caribbean are for the birds.......horrible way to start a vacation

maybe find an airline that lands at a normal hour.....

or maybe find a different airport.....like POP

[jacknback]

I've done it a few times,alone and with a wingman. I just find a bench and snooze untill its time to grab a cab to either the Metro station or the Caribe bus station.Caribe has a web site and maybe(I don't know) the buses run earlier then Metro.Myself I prefer Metro because you get the bus back in Sosua right up the block from Rockies at the gas station/farmacia.
The worst part is going back!! If you leave from Sosua the last bus to Santiago is like 5:30PM and you end up at STI at about 8 and your flight isn't untill 3AM!!!
Being the budget(CHEAP jajaja)mongerer that I am,the money savings from taking that flight with miles and not spending $150/160 US for a taxi RT is well worth the inconvienience.Remember,the saving on the taxi alone can be a couple of chicas!!! :iconTU::iconTU::iconTU::iconTU::iconTU::iconTU:
Just for thought.......if you also save a $100 on the flight you end up saving a good chunk of change for a few hours of uncomfortability.
Oh yeh....like TNT said,you don't want to go to the bus station as it probably is closed untill around 7.
I know the Caribe station isn't open untill about 6:30/7.

[hugrad95a]

Ruckus's idea sounds like the best one. Read up on some Santiago reports, then you will want to hang out a little before you take the bus to Sosua.

Another Vote for Santaigo Cabanas, which are quite nice.
Definitely would do that ,with a chica, alone would just be weird :rofl: ' course its better if you know her from a prev trip, but its a heck of a way to kick start your trip. Then Wake up, & they will bring coffee to your room . Then taxi to the bus station and get on your way with a smile already on your face in the early AM. Then catch some more Z's on the bus. The whole thing should set u back no more than like 1800-2,000 pesos
(2 taxis rides+cabana+ bus) excluding the chica, which is less than a Taxi to Sosua.
Cabana to & from airport is like 300 pesos as I recall, but to bus is like 500-600 ? but thye will ask for 800.

[jacknback]

Or you could fly into Santo Domingo land at a reasonable time and do the "taxi around the whole country"trick.
If you need help with this PM TNT.:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I almost forgot about the Cabanas... definitely a great option to sleep a few hours there cheap... ask the cab driver to pass by some known chica hang out locations... It may cost a lil more to cruise and find one but why not get a quick nut off on your first night... The cabanas are really nice, way nicer and cheaper then your hotel room is most likely going to be as they cater to the dominican married man that is cheating on their wife....

I have a cousin who only stays in the cabanas when he goes to STI. His father has spare bedrooms in his house, he can afford the Almirante, but he loves staying at the cabanas, even if he's solo. But he's definitely the exception, and it's definitely the norm to be accompanied by female company.

I'm wondering the same thing cause I have no clue about Sosua cabanas.

If you need info on the cabanas in Santiago, that info I got.

There is only one cabana in Sosua.

Don't have the info, but it is recent as far as being just built.

The only Sosua Cabana I've been to was Love and Care. I haven't been there in over a year. It is out on the way to Cabarete near the restaurant El Choclo and you make a left turn toward the ocean.

It's down a pot-holed dirt road (or it was then) about 100 yards on the left.

Clean bathroom with hot water.

With flat panel TV and the usual porn.

If memory serves it was more expensive than most equivalent STI cabanas. I'm thinking 600P for un rato. And the chicas was another 1000P but well worth it.

I am not sure but this sounds like the one a chica took me to. If its the same one its right in Sosua and very close to the action. Very nice as well. I believe it ranges from 500-700 pesos.

Too late now--But next time fly into Santo Domingo plane arrives at 4:30 PM-- get a taxi(20-25US to take you to Caribe bus station catch bus usually in sosua by 10:30- 11:00PM. Or go to boca chica for the nite--go to sosua the next day. --
