No (do not cancel), you should not give in to terrorism and cancel your plans to enjoy your time here in the Dominican Republic. the airlines need all the help they can get at this critical time, not to mention the hotels and their employees!

Default Re: think about this before cancellation.

Yes, please come. This country needs tourism and the airliners need your business. It would be a nice break from all the problems that you face back home. We are all effected by the whole tragedy but we are also learning to live a normal life and to move on to the next day.
Just yesterday I called my brother in USA (who works for a major US airliner), told me that the planes are going out and coming in empty. Flights to England have only 15 passengers. That is not even enough to cover the fuel costs. If this fearful trend of flying continues, many major airlines all over the world would be bankrupted in a short time. Swiss air is almost about to shut down. Swiss air's shut down would certainly pull the pillars from under many other airlines that depend upon them.
My brother was compelled to give up his new raise in salary in an attempt to save his job. If this current trend of fear of flying keeps up, we would all be in a grave situation.
I am seriously concerned about my brother's job and for his future well being. Like many other employees he is married with children and has to make mortgage payments on the newly purchased house.
So please, help the economy and travel to where-ever you want to go.
Have a nice day.

Default Re: Landing Monday.

We have been structuring our move to the D.R for almost two years and shall arrive on Monday the 8th October. After the 11th September we looked hard as to if we should abandon our plans as it means leaveing our teenage daughters behhind in the U.K. But encouraged by our friends and loved ones we decided to proceed.If this is the right move, god only knows, but you see, we all believe good shall prevail over evil. Do not let evil change your plans.

I'm coming in November. I booked my trip this summer and can't wait! It's probably safer in the DR anyways :-)
