Actually, doesn't Air France do this? From Paris to Punta Cana and then it continues to Santo Domingo?
That's like what? a 20 minute flight or less?

Prices

Just looking at the BA Web site and the price each way is 314 pounds off peak. It looks like the flights will be on Thursday and Monday. That's just under $US1000 which is about $US200 less than Air Europa without the stop in Madrid (15hrs travel !!). Its much cheaper than Air France that goes via Paris. Good news especially for children who can travel easier unaccompanied now.
