Hey I didn't suggest useless alternatives

Obviously you have an axe to grind with AA. Fair enough. Don't fly them. Fly on CO to SJU and then get one of the rafts that come from the DR and row back on that.
You have to credit AA with at least being willing to have flights between the 2 islands, vs. CO US and DL for that matter who offer nothing.
I questioned the utility of the OP buying a ticket from Detroit to the DR and having that trip actually not go to the DR but to terminate in a place that is not served by his airline.
So even if he HATES AA he's got no choice. I think if he could have flown to EWR, MIA or JFK he'd have been able to connect properly, hence why I asked why the oddball routing. You advice to try another , non-existent airline offers this poor sod stuck in SJU nothing of any help at all, other than having to now pay for a AA RT ticket and I wonder if the sum of the two tickets makes sense, vs. buying via AA all the way (assuming myabe he wanted to go to SJU first, for example).
As to your CO positive cliams, I can't find any proof of anything you said in that other post. I hope there is a $99 OW fare as AA will match it and that ultimately is good for one like me who uses them all the time.
