More attractive airfares are beckoning travelers, according to travel agencies, who are reporting a decrease of between 30%-40% in the cost of plane tickets. This phenomenon is due mainly to the lower cost of the US dollar on the local exchange market. Tickets to Puerto Rico, Miami, New York and Spain are the lowest they have been in several months. A fare to New York on American or Delta (SDQ-JFK) now costs RD$12,975 or RD$12,472, depending on which line a person chooses. This is RD$5,000 less than just a few months ago. El Caribe reports that flights to Spain are down to RD$13,000 on Europa Air Plus, a substantial reduction from the RD$34,000 fare that these tickets cost in September. Normally, these airfares would be about RD$27,000 if not on sale.
