I'm researching group travel for (3 trips X 50 persons each ) , begining 24 April to May 18.
West Jet won't work - they stop end of April. Anyone know of other (charter) airlines who fly then?
thanks
Just tried WestJet's online reservations and they do have flights in May into Puerto Plata. They reduce their frequency from 3/wk down to one. Check with them again.........
Hi Everyone
thanks for the info!!! - West Jet's group department gave incorrect info to me - "all flights to POP stop end of April", meanwhile call centre (individual ticket sales) says otherwise - flights go from 3 a week to Fridays only. Project is in Ocoa, so either POP or SDQ. Buffalo/US is not an option, flight must have YYZ departure....
An update.... West Jet YYZ to POP round trip, departure 24 April for 50 persons $728.00 each, allowable 10% attrition rate 60 days advance, no charge. wow.

Yes, true...I've flown to to POP 2x in May... and WJ usually flies once a week from TO or Montreal to POP... WJ is probably your most reliable carrier at this time with the impending Air Canada strike. Although it's likely to have been resolved way before your travel time, I'd be leary making a large booking with the threat of strikes looming...
I fly WJ all the time. They are the best. TIP: they always allow one bag free, and a "humanitarian" bag at no additional charge. I usually book that ahead of time so they know I'm bringing it. You can put all kinds of stuff in it as long as not your personal belongings. So if you are coming to do humanitarian work, check out if they will let you bring an extra bag full of stuff to give away.
