charter question to canada from DR.

[sangria]

Thanks for educating me, but I thought informed people knew I was talking about Montreal city and Quebec city. But I appreciate your concern. Thanks.

No problem..anytime....I'm happy to help

To be informed is to know that the place you are referring to is called Quebec City and not Quebec...that is a province.

It is the same as referring to the Dominican Republic as "the Dominican".

the only difference is that the general public doesn't refer to Quebec City as Quebec.

The taxes alone have been running around 300 +.

Westjet Return Airfare with all the taxes included.

Puerto Plata (POP) to Toronto(YYZ)
Return -- $1,083.28 USD

Toronto to Quebec City Return -- $524.83 CAD

For Toronto to POP it's cheaper - Total Cost of Flight $898.60 CAD

Maybe it's cheaper to fly to New York and then on to Montreal or Quebec.

We do refer to it as Quebec in French so I am assuming since AZB's friend is French Canadian that she would just say Quebec since this is what we do.

Yeah he's looking for a cheap $400 flight to Montreal or Quebec city. Last time I came home on a flight only, one way for $400 was 1999 and that was to Toronto.

In June my return airfare was $438.60 CA with all the taxes (a 50% one day only sale). You have to subscribe to their email notifications to get the deals.

Maybe it's possible to find a super cheap AI deal from Quebec to POP and check in for a week at the Fun Royale and fly home to Quebec on the return portion for the same price as the airfare only... just wondering.... and bored out of my mind.

Wow that was a good deal Margaret even for a one way. I wonder if they cut down on the number of flights once we get into summer though. I was looking but don't see anything that cheap to Canada right now.

 

[donnaparadise]

If I understand correctly and you are trying to get to either Montreal or Quebec City from the DR, then go to one of the charter companies that have already been listed. They will sell you a one-way ticket back, if there are any seats available and there usually are in the summertime.

The last time I did this (3 months ago) it cost me $500 from PoP to Toronto and I believe it is the same fare for Air Transat to Montreal. Don't know about Quebec City.

I have always checked out all flights whenever I try to go back as I used to buy Air Only from Canada to the DR and then just not go back, therefore forfeiting my return ticket. Many of us do this and there are always seats available. The worse that has happened to me was once I had to wait one more week.

The only problem with this method is that you will not know for sure until the week you want to go. However, you can check all charter airlines and see which one comes up with a seat. So far, (last time I went) they all charge the same. It was $400 last year, but they raised it.

I have never ever known Air Canada to have reasonable fares either way and unless I can use my points, don't even bother.

 

[margaret]

AnnaC: That was for a return ticket not one way, with fuel tax, departure taxes, DR tourist card etc. Westjet has more leg room, more baggage allowance, and happy staff (shareholders). They just had some domestic sales, they should be offering something soon on international flights. But I noticed some of the flights in October are sold out already.

 

[Eddy]

But but, the problem is, its too damn expensive. whatever happened to 400 dollars RT in charter planes?
AZB

Actually cheaper, I just bought 2 tickets for Montreal. Leaving Sunday 12:00 arriving at 16:00 hrs. Price US$370.00 p/p all taxes included. I don't know where these people get those 1,000.00 + tickets. But I sure as heck never paid anywhere near that.

 

[donnaparadise]

Super!

That's great! Because I paid $500.00 to Toronto last time. I sure as heck would never pay the $1000.00 that Air Canada wants when it is so easy to jump on a charter.

 

[Kaki]

Can anybody find me better options to get from Saskatoon, Canada to the south or east coast of the DR for less than $1,000 return? My dates usually aren't flexible and right now I'm looking at the week of October 10/11 - 18th. I'll take helpful info too!! I know DR1 isn't a travel agency, but I'll take what I can get please.

this is what I was looking for. This is what I call, real info. Anyone can do google and find a webpage and pull out a 1200 dollars RT ticket.
But thanks for the help anyway.

I posted a link to the source for the quotes that I posted so I can't imagine why you wouldn't know where they came from.:tired:

Is that price one-way?
If so, AZB is looking for return so how much would the return one-way ticket be?
