Need help best option to buying a flight to sdq.
In theory you need to have a return ticket to enter the DR if you don't have residence.
Book the return flight but find out how much the change fee is and how much notice you have to give.
Change fees vary but are in the order of 100 - 150 dollars. Of course if you leave on the most likely day you don't pay it.
A more expensive option is refundable ticket.
Try and change on the web in good time.

that bring me to another question.. I'm just became a US citizen , I'm dominican. that doesn't apply to me right?
also if I cancel they give a voucher right minus the 150 to use to purchase another flight? so I'll would also have to pay the dif. of the selling cost of current flight? I'm confused because I never done this. thanks.

You didn't mention which airline you will be flying as the policies vary from airline to airline. If your are flying Continental you are correct about changing your return date. You will pay the change in the cost of the ticket (if any) and $150 change fee, all of which you can do online.

If you are traveling with a Dominican passport, you are not required to purchase a roundtrip ticket.
These days, even on a US Passport, you generally do not need to purchase a roundtrip ticket. Technically, you are required to purchase a roundtrip ticket, but online they let you purchase a one-way ticket.
That is true if you have a refundable ticket. Most of the less expensive tickets are non-refundable.
I think Spirit one way tickets are the same price as 1/2 of return.
Maybe book one way with Spirit then when you are ready to return book the other leg.

It might be helpful if you tell what city you are flying from and what airline you would like to use. Possibly with this info someone may know a few helpful hints.
Yes, but I think (not 100% sure) you need to make the change before the flight is scheduled to depart. Continental will not issue you a full refund. If the fare for the changed ticket is less than the fare for the original ticket, they will issue you the difference in a travel voucher. The $150 change fee is a separate transaction.
In the old days yes, but these days the fare for each segment is priced separately. But in the case of the DR, the total taxes seem to be higher when buying one-way tickets.
hi, I'm flying from Newark NJ (EWR) and nearby airport such as LGA. I'm not picky about the airline as long as the price is cheap. I also need to fly out ASAP.I'm unemployed and have an inflamed root canal.
thanks for your help.
OK, I can help you with EWR. Continental is the only airline out of EWR with non-stop flights. You can purchase your ticket online with let's say a retun date a month from now. Once you are in the DR and are ready to return you just change your return date. There will be a $150 change fee. There may also be an additional charge is the price of your new return date ticket is higher than the original.hi, I'm flying from Newark NJ (EWR) and nearby airport such as LGA.

There is no way getting around the $150 change fee unless you luck out and your original return date there is a snow storm in jersey.
Do a search on Continental for flights. You should be able to find a round trip ticket for around $400 if you purchase two weeks in advance. If you don't have that time frame expect to pay $100 or so more.
If you can fly from JFK, Jet Blue has a current ticket for around $125.00 plus taxes, one-way to SDQ.
In an earlier post, you said that you are Dominican. If you have your Dominican passport or c?dula, you can fly on a one-way ticket without problems. Non-Dominicans who are not residents need to have a return ticket.
