Flights to UK

[Nikki Simon]

I know there have been postings relating to this subject and I have looked through them but I just wanted to see if anything new has come up!!

I am looking for a last minute flight back to the UK from Puerto Plata for my brother. He wants to fly back around the 13th May. He arrived here on a return 2 week ticket but will end up staying a month. I looked at the websites mentioned in the other postings but am not having much luck.

Any suggestion??? I'm also looking for return flights leaving end of July and coming back mid August. I can fly from any airport but would prefer Puerto Plata also as I live in Sosua.

You guys all seem so knowledgeable so maybe someone can give me a hand. I'll give you some cheap scuba diving if I get a bargain!!!

Thanks in advance

Greetings.

As far as I am concerned the lowest one way fare to London is provided by Air Europa from Santo Domingo. Fares from Puerto Plata are very expensive, around 1000 USD.

S Domingo-London (Air Europa) KSXOW 472 USD + taxes.

You can also try to use Martinair and fly via Amsterdam from Puerto Plata.

MP 603 H POP AMS 13MAY 767 1950 1040+ HLAB1MOW **458 USD** with all taxes.
BD 106 V AMS LHR 14MAY 321 1345 1355 VOWBMI **85 USD**

Contact one of the British Tour Operators in POP...they will sell a direct flight if there is availability for 250gbp....or with Britania Direct or First Choice direct sales or Thomas Cook.... they will sell you the one way ticket and ticket him on departure in POP.

Maggie, it is not that easy. Majority of those touroperators are not allowed to sell charter one way tickets originated in Dominican Republic. and BY101 and AMM31 flights are always sold out.

Britannia flights from Dominicana:

P Plata - London 1***5*7
P Plata - Glasgow ****5**
P Plata - Manchester 1*****7


La Romana - London **3****
La Ronama - Manchester *23****

Don't want to burst your bubble but I have found it extremely easy over the last 15 years buying seats with the TO's, so have the all the UK ex pats that I know. Only a few adhere to the rules......Or you book direct in the UK, all of them will sell the dead inbound seats. However if it is a specific date you have to travel then book with a scheduled airline....

Another rule also is : Dominican Citizens are not allowed to travel on these flights if the first flight is from DOM REP.
