Just bought a cheap ticket from BWI to Santo Domingo with a connecting flight in Philadelphia for $388 (including taxes and fees). Standard rate is between $500-700. And this is for Carnival week February 21-28, 2001!!!. In fact, US Airways, now a major competitor of American Airlines began flying to the DR since August. Right now there is a caribbean sale going on with hard to beat prices from the Mid-Atlantic region, plus 5,000 frequent flyer miles just for booking your airfare online; and to top it off, getting an extra $10.00 off the already discounted fare as part of the promotion. I have seen postings by others with cheaper fares, but how many are getting 5,000 frequent flyer miles thrown in as well. That's 5,000 miles on top of the regular in flight segment miles you earn RT. I love you US Air!!!!!!!!!
