Flights to the UK
OK Robert, I took the liberty of calling anyway as this was something that I will need to sort for somebody else at a later date.
I called Lunn Poly and spoke to a lady called Dawn. She said it is very difficult to book from DR - UK - DR. However if it not impossible. She says she would need more exact details of when you would want to travel, which airport etc etc.
She says if you call after 5:00 p.m. UK time (remember we are 5 hours ahead of you) and could put in a call and see what (if anything) she could find. Remember they are just a tour operator not direct agents. She says that in addition to Britannia Airways that Monarch Arilines fly that route but neither companies have an office in the DR although Thomson do. (that may be something you want to look into).
Her offices are open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. London time. The main number is 0870 164 7002 her extension is 6288. She is very happy to try and help you.
She said however, in all probability, a scheduled flight will be easier to arrange but these are not direct - depending on airline via Madrid, Paris etc etc.
There is also another website you can try

These guys are independent.
So there you are. Nobody ever said it was easy!
Can you let me know how you get on? As I said, I will need to carry out this exercise for myself sometime.

They are usually quite good and I have used them also. They can also find you details of scheduled flights.
