Jazzcom... i been on top of Delta Airlines VP's. Lets start services into DR. Delta was supposed to start this years, but after 9/11/01 they delay into next year 2003.

where the hell are the introductory fares????? anyone know?

Latino, Delta use to be my most frequent Airline for traveling. Since they do NOT go to the DR I have switched to AA.

I have 3 tickets to Minneapolis for July 4th, one to Vegas in March, one to San Diego in April, 3 to Turks and Caicos last December one to Cancun and 3 to Atlanta all on ff'er miles with delta. Have enough for one more trip. Had they traveled to the DR I would have used them. Too bad.

Now I try to fly AA to aquire the miles to go to the DR.

I wonder if anyone else other than myself relies on FF miles the way I do. I have 3 more trips on FF'er miles on American to take with one schedualed for Christmas to the DR.

If they go through Atlanta to the DR I would love it. I can combine 2 trips on one FF'er ticket and see my family in Atlanta. Oh I also went to Panama through Atlanta last year on FF'er miles.

Regards

Jazzcom -

How did DR compare to Panama (beaches, people, cost of living)? I have been hearing that Panama is a pretty cool place too
