I have now flown 3 times out of Santo Domingo from JBQ and one time back. My flights were with Air Century to San Juan.
The experience using JBQ is a pleasure for several reasons. From where I reside in the city in Miramar it is a maximum 20/25 minute journey guaranteed using the ring road from Haina with little risk of any delays......ok additional toll fees apply - 200rd plus the toll on 30 de Mayo. This airport would be quick, easy access for those living in the Cibao being 15 minutes from ones entry into the city at Pedro Brand.
The airport is only used by charters and Air Century and Sunrise Airways and so the check in experience is pleasant and swift. Clearing immigration and security is equally quick with no queues. The departure lounge is spacious but without any retail outlets or cafe, but who needs that when the time between arrival at the airport and boarding the plane is short.
My flights with Air Century with their Saab 340B (which appears new) have been well organised and it is nice to fly over Santo Domingo at relatively low level arriving at and leaving. You get a cookie and a drink and free beer too. They fly 5 times a week to SJU leaving JBQ at 11.05 arriving at SJU 12.15 with the return at 2.05 which is good timing for connections to other islands. Prices are competitive and the flights are popular. https://www.aircentury.com/en/
I look forward to the inauguration of flights to St Martin soon by Air Century.
