will iberia come back to DR?
Well I always flew iberia because it was convinient. GVA-MAD-SD. For me convinient also means the cheapest by the way.
Last year they left me stranded here!!!! I flew to the dr with them in september amd was due to fly back in march. It was on dr1 that I learned they stopped flying to the dr ( I think it actually might have been a dv8 post
)
They eventually sent me an email ( I didnt bother looking into it ) asking me to phone a dominican number ( which of course never answered ).
And for some unknown reason Iberia insisted I needed to hook up with Iberia dr!!!
Finally went to Santo domingo to the iberia office ( that they were clearing out ) to sort things out. They put me on aireuropa.
Anyway, on the service. Planes are always old, no personal screen, bad food, bad service. The best thing is the plane is nicer, food better on the 90 mn flight MAD GVA than on the o hour flight MAD SD. Go figure.
First time I travelled with AA/BA. And even if flying through america is a hassle ( visa/customs/security, and lots of americans.....), next time we will stop off in florida and eat loads of greasy food and go to bush gardens!!!!!

I just did the vis/waiver thing on internet for 10$ or so.....
Do u think security checks in-transit luggage? I was lucky then....
The customs is a pain, makes u realize how priviliged we are travelling in europe.... The queue for passport control arriving in the US made me think I was being prosessed for a labour camp or something.....

i know about that new flight, chiri. the flight warsaw-PUJ is just one big, fat piece of s**t. this is a charter and there will be no option of doing DR-PL-DR. furthermore they also DO NOT PERMIT flight only. this plane is for tourist only, who bought AI package with flight+hotel.
munich-POP does nothing for me, really. airberlin does POP-munich (or dusseldorf, depending on time of the year) already so unless they offer low prices it does nothing.
and no, poland is not in a visa waiver program, never was and will not be anytime soon.

About Condor flight Warsaw-PUJ. Maybe it will be the same type of flight as Viena-Punta Cana, operated once weekly by Condor during high season. That flight can be booked from PUJ to VIE, even one way ticket, at prices starting at 299 Euro per person OW. It only remains to be seen if WAW-PUJ hits the reservation systems. If it does, it will be bookable from DR.
i don't think this flight will be operated by condor. last i've heard it was going to be a plane chartered from LOT and working with travel agencies only. i already spoke to a polish consul about it and it seems they said no way jose. and if they ever do let DR-PL flight it will be stand in for no show passenger and no go for a return option. in a way i am not so concerned, one PUJ is a long way from POP and two, warsaw is a long way from where my parents live. if i were to fly from PUJ i would go to berlin. but so far the prices of that single flight were marginally better than POP-dusseldorf-berlin.
but i wanted to get that flight for my dad so it really annoyed me they will not permit flights only, only a combo with a hotel. and the average holiday price for 2 weeks is 2k dollars. it's a lot of money.

still too many people overstay their visas and the number of rejections of visa applications is still too high. this is american policy and american government decides it. i respect this decision.
Official, Iberia is returning to SDQ with 5 direct flights weekly starting on Sept. 1st. 2014
