Your best bet is AA Eagle but I'm sure that Liat,Aero Domca or AirSantoDomingo probably have schduled service as well
I would opt for the first.......

AA has all the flights except I think one a day on a no-name local airline you couldn't pay me to fly on. If you are not in a rush there is also a ferry service.

American Eagle serves from all Dominican International Airports into Puerto Rico. You have the choice of Carribean Sun from STI and SDQ I believe, air Santo Domingo and a few others. Ferry is always good 12 hour ride.

Just a question about prices for you experts! (Sorry to hi-jack, but it's related :nervous: )

About the ferry, how much would that be and where does the ferry leave from?

And about the flights, what do they normally cost on average?

When I get back to the DR, a trip to PR is something I'd love to do eventually. The ferry would be an incredible experience..I'm just curious about the price difference between that and a flight.

Thanks so much,

I'm not sure on the airfare, you can check on AA.com.I can tell you that it costs about the same as it cost for me to fly from Hartford, CT to San Juan, which is 250-300US, average price. I have tried to do two legs and save, forget it, they have you by the balls.It is actually a little more between San juan and Punta Cana, but I'm sure that applys anywhere in the DR. I'm sure the ferry would be much cheaper if you have the extra time, question is? where does it come in, west coast is no good, you would have to work your way east to San Juan. I assume that's where your going out of.

Ferry is more money.

It seems like Pan Am flies from from SJU to SDQ and PJU. I didn't realize that they are still in business.
