I flew in Jetairfly to Belgium, a charte fly company with a round trip ticket and got no issue, however I hold a double nationality US and Dominican.

I am one of the first to jump all over the British Consulate when they do not give the service to British Ex-Pats that I feel they should but I have never found them wanting when it comes to answering the telephone during office hours. Did you call during the 2 hours for lunch time perhaps? Did you try calling after closing hours or during the weekend? Was the telephone number you were given an up-to-date one? I am NOT being sarcastic, just asking reasoned questions as I do not know the answers.

In my opinion it was wrong of the representative of Thomas Cook to refer you to the Consulate - being the CARRIER HE should have known the answer. If he did NOT know the answer, he should have checked with Puerto Plata office &/or Head Office in UK. In this way he would also have also learned the correct answer to give to the question when it arises again!! :ermm:

To the best of my knowledge, NO British Tour company is allowed to carry a Dominican one way INTO the United Kingdom unless that person has specific permission beforehand for extenuating circumstances (emergency health/compassionate grounds normally) but they will SOMETIMES make an exception for a spouse if travelling with the spouse. Obviously this ban will be over-ridden IF the Dominican has obtained a British Passport &/or normally resides in the UK.

May I respectfully suggest that you send an e-mail to Thomas Cook (& the other airlines flying direct to UK) to their respective Head Offices in the UK & layout any mitigating circumstances that you consider might influence their decision in your favour?

Good luck but do not expect a successful outcome ~ Grahame

Transit Visa Important

You need a schedule flight will not get in on a charter
NOTE AIR FRANCE no transit visa required fly from D/R to Paris then to the UK
USA require a transit visa and Saint Martins check with airline if transit visa required or the person will not be allowed on the Plane

When next on-line 'google' (or other websearch) flight Punta Cana to Brussles & then do 'google' of Brussles-London (Gatwick, Heathrow or Luton).

Up should come a company called JetAir who do Puerto Plata-Punta Cana-Brussles. You then choose Puerto Plata or Punta Cana which ever you prefer. If you WANT to fly from Santo Doming, there IS a service to Spain. Then you just do the same 'googling' check for the airports in question! ~ Grahame.

He will not need a visa being in transit in German. My husband travelled via Frankfurt and it was fine

Immigration Laws, Legalities & marketing agreements set by British Government, the Airlines, Tour Companies, Insurance Companies are just SOME of the reasons I am aware of. For the rest you will need to check with the Foreign Office in Whitehall (London). ~ Grahame.

Did you get the names of who said this?

If you want ThomsonFly to commit themselves to this above comment YOU MUST GET IT IN WRITING! E-mail them & ask the question of the manager whom your 'lady' at ThomsonFly checked with & get them to send you an e-mail reply stating what circumstances allow a Dominican National to travel by charter flight to the UK. Please post the response here so that we may give correct information when someone asks this question again. ~ Grahame.
