The prices usually increase around the 12th of December.
Flying by the 11th will usually get you a lower price going down.

Another trick I have learned w/ daughter's filghts from Australia is to fly on Jan 1
By booking her return on Jan 1 , I have saved as much as $800 by not using Jan2 or Dec31

Are you flexible with the flight/destination?

Was the US$1045 quoted for one way or return?

I found:
Dec 22. $495. Us Airways into Punta Cana
$543 American into Santo Domingo

Dec. 20 $362 American into Punta Cana
$520 American into Puerto Plata

Dec. 19 $413 Delta into Santo Domingo
$443 American into Puerto Plata

Dec. 18 $229 Delta into Punta Cana
$413 American into Puerto Plata
