When will DR open for International travel??????

[aarhus]

Canada has been averaging a little over 200 cases/day lately so we aren't worthy of being included in any group that has the US and the DR.

Will that mean there will not be travel between Canada and the DR ? Are there any flights scheduled from Canada now in July or August ?

It means most Canadians will not want to travel anywhere right now that the virus is out of control. Not sure about scheduled flights as they don't seem to turn into actual flights very often.

Lest we forget...

The DR is (or was) on the US stink list for a looong time..... crime being one cited problem

lets us not forget more Dominicans live in USA than any where in the world... Happy morning Sir William

If both the US and DR get on the EU list for no travel to the EU then maybe its just best for the DR to tie itself in with the US and maybe also with Canada and Lat Am countries.

DR has been tied to the US for years.....

Is that a competition between the US and Spain ?

I had a flight scheduled for July but it was cancelled. I have rescheduled a flight for August 8th from Toronto with Westjet. Fingers crossed..

If you read it carefully it says mostly come from USA... also Americans spend money ..... Europeans squeeze the Euro/ are cheap

If you mean that we Europeans don't overtip like Americans, I agree.

Good luck with all the travel plans the next weeks everybody . Safe travels.

Canada also has not tested anywhere near as many people as the U.S. Granted much smaller population but the more people you test the more positives (and negatives) you will find.

I don't think that the RD is in the same boat as the US if your comparing the virus

 

[windeguy]

But do you want to introduce more virus to the RD by taking in tourists from the covid epicentre.

It is going to happen. Take care of yourself, no one else will.

Beaches are closed still...nothing changed except curfew...

I agree, still in stage 2 of the original plan. Not sure if it is legal to do this, but that is the current situation.

American Airlines is flying full planes with no more "social distancing". I understand Canadian airlines will do the same. I just spoke to someone who flew American domestically yesterday and the plane was indeed full:

American Airlines Group Inc. said it would sell flights to capacity starting July 1, abandoning caps on passenger loads that were designed to promote social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Kind of makes you wonder why all the social distancing, etc in the airports when you're going to sit shoulder to shoulder with the guy they just made you stand 6' away from. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for masks & social distancing, but these airlines make it a joke.

The only thing you can do is choose not to fly.

My wife showed me a picture of a political rally in POP yesterday. Shoulder to shoulder, nuts to butts, hundreds of people with no masks on. In the DR, go figure.

Strange that masks there were not being enforced. Friday night around 7:30pm they rounded up 15-20 people in La Cienaga for not wearing masks.

I heard the same about La Cienaga, but that was Friday and this was Sunday.
