I have a credit on American Airlines which only flies to Punta Cana. I need to find the best way to get to Santo Domingo after landing in Punta Cana.

Are there charter flights that fly to Santo Domingo? Which ones?

How long would the bus route take?

Thanks,
Art

How perfect would that be!

What time of day would you be arriving as there are buses but they don't run very late...I had to get a taxi last time (which certainly wasn't a cheap way of doing things!)

Let us know how you get on - I find it interesting to see how people get from one place to another especially we are most likely to fly to Punta Cana or POP next time we come as these are the only 2 that we can get a direct flight to. And it otherwise means hassles of transit visas for my hubby.

Last express bus from Bavaro-Santo Domingo leaves at 7pm. Depending on the amount of luggage you have, you will likely still be able to get a bus to Higuey and then onto the capital. Buses are definately the cheapest option and run a pretty efficient service. Personally, unless you are sharing a taxi with several people, I dont think its worth the money as it will probably run you a couple of hundred dollars. Good luck

My humblest apologies...I guess I should known as I have done that trip so many times...yes, he is 100% correct...arrives into SDQ around 7pm!

If kiai needs to overnight in Bavaro, the first one leaves at 7am but I would advise getting there at least half an hour early as the bus tends to sell out pretty quickly.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention so I could correct that!;)

PJT believes the 7PM time refers to the last express bus leaving Higuey for Santo Domingo.
