You need to show this form to check in for a flight to Dom Rep. So I presume the airlines will enforce it, they are normally pretty good at this type of thing.

I agree with the comments above, still feels hard to believe what happened, she struggled so much to put food on the table and I cannot imagine how horrible things were for her in her final moments. Poor poor Lindsay. Has anyone got an update on the case? I presume all the court...

There but for the grace of God go we. Horrible situation

TUI but again they have cancelled everything. I'm not up to date on when they will return. What about Air France SDQ to Paris direct then another flight or the train? That service is operating I think once a week at the moment and will be increasing to 3 x weekly in December.

Mike it's Iberia from Madrid that are going to 10 flights per week. British is supposedly cancelling everything from London, so nothing direct at all from London to Punta Cana except for a charter. Or the route would be London to Madrid to Santo Domingo by air and then a long transfer, which...

John I am not sure if you need to have a negative Covid test to transit through Spain. Worth checking. This is the site travel agents use: https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/world.php

I just heard on the grapevine from someone who works for Iberia that they are going to increase to 10 flights per week from December Madrid to SDQ, so it will be a flight every day and on 3 days per week there will be 2 flights. But I have also been told by 3 separate people that British...

I was also going to suggest La Rosario or mooching around Avenida Duarte in the area near to Mapamusa where all the textile shops are. If you can't get it there, then import.

Update: The package arrived today, didn't have to pay any customs fees (value was US$ 180). So it took 4 working days to get the Ministry of Salud clearance and customs clearance, which is actually impressive.

When I arrived, they tested about half of the passengers on my flight using the supposedly rapid test. It wasn't rapid, took about 10 minutes, and the result kept coming back inconclusive, so I had to do the test three times. It wasn't a biggie to be honest because I still had to wait for...

She was just rude. I didn't think she was a poor employee who was just doing her job. She was the manager of a large store she would be making maybe RD$80000 a month and had a really nasty attitude.

To clarify. I didn't ask for a discount at IKEA as they were offering 10% on all purchases. I asked for one at Alyss mainly because the chair was vastly overpriced and even the sales guy said he thought the price was incorrect. They said they would call head office in Panama and let me know...

Yes of course it would be acceptable. I only employ people I can trust and I always pay above market salaries. And I only employ Dominicans, not foreigners. My staff would only offer comps or discounts if there was a justifiable reason and I don't micromanage them. Usually I have the...

Hope you are feeling better after getting all those comments off your chest. All I would say to you is please try owning a hotel in Dom Rep right now, and then when you have done that, you will understand why we are begging for discounts. Please also understand that a luxury good is a good...

I personally think it's more of a cultural thing. Employees believe that the most important person is their boss, and they will be automatically fired if something goes missing or an extra discount is given. Bosses reinforce this idea by constantly doing the Do You Know Who I Am act. And...

I completely get why some things are more expensive here. Especially luxury type goods which are imported. But we live in a country where people line up for hours in the blazing sun to get a job paying minimum wage, take out loans from the mob just to pay for food, and very frequently go...

Today IKEA has a 10% discount on anything you buy. I needed some things, so when I received the email I went online and chose what I wanted. Got to the final stage, but there's no way to ask for a Comprobante Fiscal as someone cleverly completely forgot to include that on their website...

If the US does shut the borders, and given the almost certainty that Europe will have more lockdowns and travel bans in January, it will be curtains to tourism in DR this season. I would think seriously before booking a vacation here as there is a very real chance that you could get stuck...

Actually the lady I am dealing with in DHL is incredibly responsive and helpful, so hopefully I am on track to get the shipment next week.

This is a liquid probiotic that is only made in the UK. I am shipping 12 500ml bottles of liquid from the UK. If I had shipped via CPS in Miami it would have passed through customs twice. I shop almost daily with CPS and I completely understand what is involved but in this case there is no...
