Last year some of the local expats were complaining about an influx of guys coming to Sosua on Thursdays and leaving on Sundays - this was because there were cheap flights out of New York - I dont live in New York but I am having a hard time booking from Toronto on a Thursday to Sunday frame - gonna do the week between too not just the 4 days - anyway - I am not able to find these flights - who puts them on - not having any luck with expedia etc - it must be some charter group

I think the OP wants a long weekend.


Try mixing carriers.... westjet and Air Canada for example
One way down & another airline back

It can be done..........

2 one ways.......... no more costly

Where is YYT airport or similar? I was looking for ticket from POP to ATL and the cheapest that popped up was thru YYsomething with a 23 hour layover there, and something about Canadian airlines. I blew it off. I spent 24 hours in ATL one Christmas day. But still curious whee that flight touched down.
Yes I think JetBlue does go from POP to Toronto.

My first trip to the Dominican about 5 years ago was on JetBlue to POP from JFK and it was in the middle of Feb for about $240.
That was the first and last time I have purchased a round trip ticket for less than $300.
In fact last year I flew down on Jetblue on a free ticket that nearly cost that much. I think my free ticket was almost $150 after all the fees and taxes I had to pay.

Sad, all my tickets of late have been around $550 to $600.

Hunting for a FEB ticket myself.

@ H-Monster

about right... I use that route a lot.

hard to get it down to what i posted above...

I have good flexibility so can pick/choose

In case you missed it -
my daughter's flight at Xmas was $1700 as we booked it over T'Giving... same route

when the smoke cleared , we got it for $820..... and have a credit of $850 w/ JetBlue.
her boyfriend clawed back $660

Use the best price guarantee feature

Her flight was $1020 when I started screaming at her..... next day = $820.

Sometimes it's a good thing they ignore the old man.... not often, just sometimes

We couldn't have gone anyway.

I think PUJ is always more expensive on JetBlue.
Can anyone back this up?
Unfortunately most of my flights now are to PUJ instead of POP.

Jet Blue is more expensive than others to PUJ, unless you get a good sale. I have been flying Southwest lately. $400/RT from Boston, including 2 checked bags.

I have begun thinking about southwest as well. I would just hate to give up the direct flights.
