One way ticket info

no customs does not check you ticket buy your one way and have a great time

Unless things have changed since December 10, 2008. Your friend will have no problem on arriving in Puerto Plata. My wife and I arrived on one way tickets and will be leaving on one way tickets April 30. We are not Dominican citizens or residents. I think he may find the ticket very expensive after April 30th though.

I arrived many times with no return ticket.

This has been discussed many times....and the answer seems to be that "YES" - sometimes you will need a return ticket.....and "NO" - sometimes you don't! Either way - DR Customs won't be the ones that will question that one way ticket....it'll be the person checking you in at the airport in Canada. "Technically" - you should have a return ticket, and if you don't - you may be required to purchase a return right then and there before you are allowed to board.

I have purchased many one way tickets - and have been asked a couple times about my return, so it DOES happen....but I have Residency here, so it has never been an issue.

Seems to be the luck of the draw!

Tell him to buy a round ticket with Westjet and if he wants to stay longer he can put the ticket on hold for up to 6 months and change it for a $50 penalty fee plus whatever the difference is for the return ticket price, if the return ticket price is more money.

Westjet has a sale right now, from various Canadian cities to POP and Punta Cana.

For example departing April 29 or May 1 (Toronto - Punta Cana). $69. CAD
I don't know if he has to buy a return ticket. I don't think so.

May 3rd is the last day WestJet flies to Puerto Plata. But they continue to fly to Punta Cana into the summer. If someone knows why they aren't flying to PP let us know, they flew to PP to August 31st last year and this is a big pain in the you know where!

I buy one ways from WestJet and have never had a problem, from Toronto to PP or PP to Toronto online.

Yes I flew back to Toronto in June of last year.
That is a 4 month difference, a big difference and not a good sign.
I guess there is less of a demand?
