Canada to Rep Dom

[william webster]

As far as I know, Canada flying down is not open yet.

My wife is 'en route'....
Toronto - Chicago- Newark
overnight
EWR - POP in the AM

Not perfect but no options... flights are still at less than normal routes

From the west - perhaps you can get to FLA or Atlanta to connect....

My point is - it's a peripatetic route.... but possible, nonetheless
Whether it be POP, SDQ or STI.....
Where there's a will - there's a way

You can fly direct to Punta Cana from Toronto.

Direct flights to Punta Cana. Puerto Plata starts in October (that's the plan).

Double post...

Air Canada is flying into PUJ from Toronto on weekends. Air Transat and Westjet said they will start going to PUJ soon but no actual dates.

PUJ is a long from us....... doesn't really work

That WestJet October promise was for September in August
No guarantee it will come to fruition

Their YYZ - AZS route was my favorite

I was booked with WestJet YYZ - POP for sept 8 but was cancelled due to low demand. Rescheduled for first week of Oct... fingers crossed.

 

[william webster]

They have been pushing the date back consistently.... 30 days at a time

 

[user123]

As long as the rule is that you gotta self-isolate for 14 days upon returning to Canada not many people will travel.

Wouldn't be a problem for the 'work from home' crowd

I have a friend who is booked YYZ to POP on Oct 26 with westjet...We will see what happens.

Can't see family or friends, go to the grocery store for 14 days upon return...it has deterred all the people I know...even the work from home crowd. I work in home reno retail...we have never been so busy. I personally don't know anyone planning on international travel this winter.

 

[william webster]

Lots of businesses doing record business

Gardening, home repairs, cooking.... all new pastimes for shut-ins

Is Punta Cana longer to Cabrera for you than Santo Domingo ?

I don't feel shut in. I wear a mask when out or working. I camp, I travel in country. I have been to restaurants, I shop...it's just the international travel I feel bad about. People are spending their money locally instead of internationally.

Yes.... 2 hrs 10 min to SDQ airport

PC (PUJ) is about 5 hrs

 

[chico bill]

Yes.... 2 hrs 10 min to SDQ airport

PC (PUJ) is about 5 hrs

Wow that's quicker than I thought. So Santo Domingo is a close as POP

 

[william webster]

POP - is 1hr 20 min
AZS is 1 hr
SDQ is 2 hr 10-15

 

[william webster]

But POP proper the town is equal to SD- Yes

and Santiago too.... bit more depending where you're going

roughly 2 hr to 2 1/2 hrs to all three

I posted elsewhere but my Cdn friend is trading his traditional Jan/Feb trip to Calif for Rep Dom
2 months worth
A US friend is going to buy here...

Not totally doom & gloom.... but not bright , for sure
