It is not that uncommon to see a $200 or so round trip from JFK or EWR to SDQ in the off season as part of web savers etc. I am sure this $99 fare is not full fare unrestricted come and go as you please right? Still it is better than no sale at all if the terms are OK.

On what do you base your coment of "is not that uncommon" when this 99 is not common fare for NYC market?. And for your information this is not a web fare. And also for your info AA started this action in response of DL new service. Is this a war or not?.

Please verify the rates to NYC in all recent years before you make a comment about off season fares.

I have flown as low as 189 RT from NYC to DR. Santiago and Puerto Plata. Hope this helps.

yeah escott is right, I had purchased the same 189 fare in 1986 from JFK to POP. ;)
Anyway, this is a great airfare to NYC but its a hassle to get to NY city from newark airport. I am wondering, how much are the taxes? 130 dollars?

AZB,

Did you say hassle to get to the city from Newark? Maybe Newark in Delaware. Your info is way off base.

I gave up trying to read what you actually are asking here but I get offers from AA all the time and they are always promoting JFK and MIA to SDQ and other DR airports at times other than the holidays of course and I have seen $149 R/T from JFK to SDQ which is only $75 each way.

On the assumption you are trying to say this 99 clam offer is a readily available fare without the netsaver type of requirements, I put in a R/T request at www.continental.com for EWR/SDQ leaving 3/6 and returning 3/13 , to allow for two weeks advance booking and Saturday night and it was $390.90 which is not quite $99 each way now is it?

I admit is is a whole $30 better than AA's fare via JFK.

Post some proof, bucko.

In short, then, to conclude.......

...there is no proof. CO certainly has nothing of the sort on the web site. I think another AA basher fails again. Too bad, as I said, cheap fares on AA or US mean cheaper fares for me on AA.

Whatever......... anyway CO is a way better airline than AA and you can not do anything to change it jajajajaja.

I do not have to talk with someone that does not know anything of this business so next time.

Talk to the hand L......

I didn't think Continental flew from JFK or LGA to SDQ. Most of their flights orignate in Newark, NJ. Could you provide more information? I know they do have flights starting im March for about $325 R/T including taxes from Newark. Are these the ones you mean?

The best I have gotten from JFK to STI was $189 but I would much rather pay more to fly into POP.The best I have gotten from JFK to POP was $209. These both were AA netsaaver deals. Taxes are generally about $80 more. If I could get flight for $99 plus tax, I would be flying down every 5 or 6 weeks.

Ticket Details


One Way

Santo Domingo DO (SDQ) to New York/ Newark Liberty, NJ (EWR)
Depart: Wed., Mar. 10, 2004, 3:20 p.m.

Price Details

1 Adult $99.00
Taxes $78.13
Total Price $177.13


If you want proof here you go.......from COntinental.com $99.00. Taxes $78.13.

Everybody have to remember that in the DR we pay lots of taxes and I was talking about of fares without taxes.

And CO does not fly to JFK and LGA from SDQ but Newark is one of the airports that serve the New York City so if you fly in CO you go to NYC.

calm down people


the 99 fare seems reasonable except for the 77 dollar tax. For one way that seems very high

Of course they paid another $206. each in taxes....... :disappoin :disappoin
Too bad taxes are high everywhere!! Otherwise we'd all be flying back and forth more often!

OOpps!

Guess I should have made clear that was in Canadian $$$$ which are only worth about .76 US$ so if you were an American living close to Toronto it would be worth your while to fly from TO.
