Ok, so we got our visa to UK. What are our options for flying there?

Can we just go to a rep and get us a direct flight there? Or is it better to fly via Brussels??

ANy help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

As long as your final destination is the U.K. and you don't leave the airport in Europe, you can get a flight from Santo Domingo with Air France via Paris and Iberia or Air Europa via Madrid. If you have a long-term visa you can also get a one way charter flight from POP or PUJ. British Airways also fly direct to London from Punta Cana but I always find them to be far too expensive.

Well done for getting the visa

We did this 6 years ago for my wife, Charterflights from Dom Rep to UK are not an option, Air France Schedule was the route we took, Santo Domingo to Paris then to Manchester

Check Air France on line for prices. Make sure it is a return flight as this is a requirment of the visa

iberia has an offer now, via madrid, have them checked.
and look into the need of schengen visa, they have just changed the regulations and getting it is a bit of a pain in the neck...

Suppose I should clarify....would prefer to fly from PP as we have a small child so would like to make the journey as straight forward as possible.

I know 2 Dominicans that have traveled direct to UK with Thomsons or Thomas Cook....how come some people can and some cant?

A year ago in Madrid a schengen visa was not needed for "in- transit" passengers. We flew Air Europa. I suggest you ask the airline you propose to fly with.

Here's a resent posting from a member who's Dominican mother in law was taking her first flight with a visa to the UK. So double check with Thomas cook

Congatulations and good luck eralc777. I was going to ask a question about a US visa, but I think I'll start a new thread.

yes indeed anna.
i flown last week from puj to london with thomas cook with my mother in law.
she got a dominican passport and a 6 month visa and we had no issue whatsoever.
it was 600 usd plus the departure tax,20 usd.
we had to wait at the last minute as the flight was full.
but the thomas cook supervisor was very helpful and not fussy at all by her nationality.

flight to UK with Thomas Cook

Hello everybody,
Does anybody knows how or where to contact Thomas Cook in Dominican Republic for a one-way or return flight to UK? It's for a dominican national with a 6 months visa. Is there any Thomas Cook agency over there? I've never seen any.....maybe in Puerto Plata....I don't know.
Thank you very much for any advice!
Bye now
