I am on the United official site right now. Non stop EWR to SDQ (return) is $641.05.
Jet Blue is a far better price at $374 (non stop).
I do not see anything out of the ordinary with these prices.
That's not good, but could it be because they are flying empty coming out here? Therefore they need to make up the cost of the whole trip on just the return journey.Well, Condor has doubled and in part more then doubled the prices between Europe and DR too for May and June.
The claim of that doctor is, that its 4x times more. Cases and death. Thats in a conservative estimation on the lower end, given other data from US or Italy. (like 50x more cases or 6x more death) - but at least its someone qualified going on record in DR saying the numbers are wrong.
Are we close to flattening the curve of coronavirus cases in the Dominican Republic?
<p>After almost two months of the arrival of the coronavirus in the Dominican Republic, the country registers 5,926 positive cases distributed in all its demarcations, reports the 37th bulletin of follow-up to COVID-19 issued by the Ministry of Public Health. However, from April 19 (bulletin 31)...dominicantoday.com

Feliz Cuello maintains that the cases reported daily are “credible,” but “with an overdraft of more than four times the amount confirmed daily.”
He claims that the exact number of people who have died from the disease is unknown, as well as those infected “due to the inadequate strategy that has been followed.”
“Those who have been reporting have been clinical cases with positive results, but the truth is that the pandemic has covered the entire national territory, only Elías Piña was missing and already has confirmed cases, to the point that we have provinces with more than one hundred cases,” says Feliz Cuello.

The airlines need your money. If you book they charge you and then cancel the reservations. The airports will open eventually, but the date is unknown.
I do not see ANY international travel occurring here to RD before the presidential elections on 5 July, but what do I know.
Why is that a milestone? Is it because they have to let people congregate so after that it's not too important to keep them separate?
Just booked another flight home. Delta SDQ-JFK on May 3rd. Gonna get a taxi from Puerto Plata all the way to Santo Domingo airport that morning. Going to leave around 6am, so hopefully that leaves enough time for our flight scheduled for 1:50pm. Has anyone been to Santo Domingo airport lately? Does it have long lines, complications due to covid19, etc?
Nobody knows yet when the hardware stores will open in the DR, let alone air travel.Finally, a voice of reason.
Anyone wonder how big the rush to the hardware store will be ?Nobody knows yet when the hardware stores will open in the DR, let alone air travel.
Where do you live In Puerto Plata....if you live in the city limits with this new implementation of cordoning off the city it could cause a problem as May 3rd is Sunday which is only day 5 of the 7 day time period that this new restriction encompasses.....something to think about if you are in Puerto Plata proper
Shhh, be very, very quiet about that....Some are.. shhh...I saw my local.... small window open - doing business

I don’t know when airline travel will resume, but if it’s on Jet Blue make sure you’re wearing a mask.
JetBlue to become first major US airline to require passengers to wear face coverings
US airline JetBlue will require all passengers to wear a face covering during travel starting on May 4, according to a statement from the airline.www.cnn.com
Just checked our flight and it was canceled (the airline didn't bother to let us know; again, of course). Now looking for other options. If anybody knows of any other flights to the US (particularly EWR, DCA, JFK, IAD, etc) please let us know. Thanks!
