Two questions, firstly, is Samana Airport fully functioning now? If so, does anyone know of any flights from the UK to Samana, as I can't find any listed.

Secondly, does anyone know if flights from Punta Cana to Puerto Plata are regular on Christmas Day & New Years Day? I can not find any flights from the UK on the 25th-27th to PoP, returning 1st-3rd, either Manchester or Gatwick. There was a Thomson flight showing for 25th-1st but it was over ?1000, flight only! And even if I suddenly struck it rich, it's not showing today. There is a ?500 flight to PC though. Still expensive, and with an internal flight added, probably too expensive to bother with. If it comes down a bit, it might be okay. (final destination Cabarete).

Any other thoughts re how to get there without the bank manager shouting at me?
