Easter and summer travelers considering Disney World in Orlando next year should look into what JetBlue will be offering. Flights from Las Americas International Airport in Santo Domingo to Orlando International Airport are due to begin on 6 March. Regular fares between Orlando and Santo Domingo start at US$99 to US$349 each way (plus taxes).
The JetBlue flight is the only non-stop service between both cities. Flight times are departing MCO at 1:55pm arriving SDQ at 5:35pm, and departing SDQ at 6:20pm, arriving MCO at 8:20pm. JetBlue uses an Embraer E190 fleet with complimentary first-run movies on the airline’s seatback televisions.
“We are very excited about this new route connecting Santo Domingo to Orlando, Florida’s largest airport,” said Astrid Diaz, CEO of Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI. “This will be welcome news for thousands of Dominicans who travel to Orlando each year for vacations or to visit family and friends, many who have discovered the excellent shopping and other attractions of central Florida. Likewise, it will draw thousands more US visitors to Santo Domingo, one of the Caribbean’s most popular and hospitable destinations.”
