You can check with
www.belairtravel.com as they have air only and packages ( sometimes the package may be worth it for the cheap air fare and they do sell Juan Dolio) - the main reason I recommend this site is that unlike AT for example if you are incorrect on the available date they show you dates that ARE available not just "no flights".
That said I think until at least late October/early November it is slim pickin's for other than La Romana and the ubiquitous SJU/POP since the tour co's all seem to really be pitching LRM as the airport even if the package is Hamaca, or Juan Dolio.
You really have to read between the lines to make sure - once Canada 3000 prior to going bust was selling "SDQ" flights for MORE than La Romana and it was the same plane going to La Romana and you were on your own to get to SDQ or Boca Chica etc.
I called and asked them how they did that, they were not amused to be found out. It was nearly $50 more and no ground transportation so a rip-off to be sure.
On occasion there is a cruise line doing cruises from SDQ itself and then there are flights to meet that cruise into SDQ airport and air only is sometimes available.
Otherwise unless you only travel for a few days and there are AA websavers ( which are often no great deal out of YYZ) you are looking at the $1,000-$1,400 AA from Toronto to SDQ. I go to SDQ airport 6 or 7 times a year and he best has been around $900 CDN.
