Just a little warning to those from Boston area or any connecting airport that has to go thru JFK from SDQ via American Airlines flight 638 don?t do it unless you are planning on spending the night at the not so wonderful Ramada at Kennedy airport.
You are bound to how early or how late that flight from JFK coming into Santo Domingo is. If the flight is late don?t even bother making arrangements on who is going to pick you up in the airport just let them know your not going to make it that night and will be spending the night in New York. And by the way immigration and customs is setup at AA JFK terminal I doubt if the plane came in on time that you will make it on the connecting flight also. Unless you brought some running shoes, a rocket pack and have no checked bags. Since it?s a long walk between the terminals to catch the connecting flight and you also have to redo security checkpoint when you get to the connecting terminal. Another thing to add a cherry on top is the gate for connecting American Eagle flight to Boston or any other American Eagle connections is at the very end of the terminal and once you get to the gate you have to go down a long ramp to get to the plane.
So if possible try to get on the earlier flight instead of the late flight out of Santo Domingo. Hopefully these bits on information helps one of you guys out and not gets you stuck at the Ramada for the night like what happend to me.
