...from those places the big problem is the cost at the airport.....

Is more than just the cost of the airport, is more about timing, having only 1 flight a day or a week only tet you have good connection with certain flights departuring few hrs after you land, if you are not lucky to match with connection with this then you will says bad conections. few years ago United only had 1 daily flight into SDQ so conections with them was very hard because of that now they have 3 daily flights and connections are way better as they arrive to Newark from Santo Domingo at 9:24 am, 3:37 pm and 7:37 pm so for sure you have more chances to get better connectios now.

I was really surprised to read this in another item about Coronavirus: "The Dominican Republic has more direct flights from cities abroad than any other country in Central America and the Caribbean. This makes the country vulnerable to receiving a person with the virus from abroad."

Yes, LRM has 2 weekly flights Italy one from Milan and another from Rome and SDQ has 1 weekly flight from Milan, a friend told me that USA has already 50 cases, Im not sure if is true, Press do not tell how many they have. Now Spain also has cases, so keeps counting, we have a lot more flights with USA.

That was close.

Are you coming back within 30 days?

Ça pourrait être compliqué le retour par Miami

Non, dans 5-6 mois...... on va dire que ce sera seulement un mauvais souvenir à ce moment là.

They (AI's) have always been a hot bed for spreading something! That is just NOT the way food should be handled.

So, I imagine a new regulation will be passed pronto: Goes something like this; If you arrived in Canada from Europe, since the ban, you cannot enter the US for X number of days. (?)
