Cheapest 1 way to Uk
Do a search for tripmakers, ask for Sandra, sorry,no longer have their number since i don't travel to jakarta any more. Over all, very cheap! I would pay only 880.00 to jakarta with a hotel in tokyo and this was round trip! Where is your friend coming from and he/she is coming to the dr correct? You said from the dr, think you meant to the dr yes? If nothing on tripmakers, see if any airline as stand by tickets, won't be 100% guarantee for a seat on that given day, but usually is..and its dirt cheap!
So sorry the title was not clear. We are looking for the cheapest one way ticket FROM the DR to the UK. Not really terribly interested in Jakarta or a hotel in Tokyo, too far away.
DR to UK
British Airways fly from Punta Cana to London Gatwick 3 times a week via Antigua. From November this will be a direct non stop service twice a week. Being a scheduled airline one way tickets should be fine and the price will be
competitive .
This will also be the easiest way to travel as no change of plane needed so no missed connections.
Check out BA.com for prices.
I use BA regularly on this route and find it very reliable. Hope this helps.

The standard fare for this flight currently seems to be $1284, which doesn't seem that cheap to me, although going all the way with one airline obviously has advantages. I understand that one of the best ways to go is by Jetairfly from Santo Domingo to Brussels, then Eurostar train to London.
no, was making a point I got my tickets cheap, normal run to Indonesia at that time was about 2,100 US..I paid only 880.00 with hotel...call them if you can find them, i'm limited with electric here...
Our Friend is travelling on DR Passport with UK entry Visa. I do not think leaving the airport is permissible without Schengen. Condor (PUJ) to Frankfurt then BA to LHR is $310.00. Probably the best. Cannot find connection flight from Brussels. Fare SDQ to BRU via PUJ is €230. Any other ideas?
I would also just check with British Airlines to see if they will sell a one way ticket .. if the UK will allow entry for a student visa holder to enter with a one way ticket. Many airlines will not as some countries will not let one in without proof of ongoing travel.
evidently he can enter the UK without an ongoing ticket but must be able to prove he can afford one

Check also with Iberia, if you will be flying after Sept, they have very good deals, and will fly 5 times a week from Santo Domingo.

A very good friend of mine assures me that this can be done and that he has done it. Book a return ticket with Thomson from the UK to DR and back. Book it on line so that the tickets are emailed to you. You obviously don't use the ticket from the UK to here but you can still use the "return" part from here to the UK.

That was to me? no, in my computer the post didnt appear, I got an error but is looks like went thru.You already said that, are you just trying to get more posts?
That dreadful company Thomson seem to not want this to happen. I believe now that if you don't use the 'outbound' leg UK to DR, the return, DR to UK is cancelled.
Has anyone tried lately?
As far as direct UK one-way flights, it would seem you will have to use the scheduled carriers at their exorbitant prices. I haven't found another solution other than by going via Europe or maybe the USA, which brings further visa problems.
The evil Thomson will sell you a DR-UK-DR ticket (around ?550 last time I asked) but you will need some patience to get to someone who can help......
