Seems the fare from Houston to DR is pretty stiff regardless of advance purchase or travel times. Anyone from this area that might have found a better way to go please advise. Best I can come up with from Houston is $650 to $750 all with at least 2 stops enroute. Still looking for a better deal...Thanks for any info. Also seems AA has all the flights going to DR out of this area, is that right?
You are stuck going to one of Miami, NYC/JFK or Philadelphia for AA or US Air. Or to EWR then on Continental.
You might try flying on COPA to Panama as they fly to SDQ but I doubt it would be faster or cheaper.
Can you find a non-stop to PHL, JFK, EWR or MIA from Houston? If so then you have a one stop flight. Though via NY or PA is an ass-backward direction - you may be better off stopping more than once and go via MIA.
Actually I just checked my monthly AA guide and they fly from Houston to MIA non stop and then to SDQ.
Flt 977/423 leaves 6:35 a.m. and arrives 1:44 p.m. Excatly almost to the minute the length of time from Toronto to SDQ via MIA. And for $497 US with taxes. Just how did you look into this anyway?
