In 2006 I used to fly Delta on that route multiple times for $255 US RT (taxes included). Then they dropped the route.........my, my how airfares to the DR have changed since then!

I just paid over $600 on United, EWR-SDQ, for late December travel. Doesn't even include a suitcase, $25 more for the first one.

If that $405 was into POP non stop then it would have been a home run. I fly into STI all the time and if flexible that is the normal rate.

My last trip WestJet wanted almost $600 one way - AC Rouge for $330.

Whole trip - WJ down , AC back was still $600+ - killed me...

This is for late Sept - POP and AZS were about equal..... ya gotta fish for 'em

In transit shouldn't be a visa problem....but I've never had to worry, being Cdn

My bf is canadian so I travel frecuently to canada, arround 3 times a year, I can not pay 170.00 dollars every time Im going to visit canada for transit visa in USA, so not saving there, better go direct, Imgine 583.00+170 = its 753.00 not a big deal, better get a direct flight. lol.
