travelling to dr from england

[gary4]

what is cheapest way/price to get to dr for (1-3 months from england) is it direct or into us or canada and onward from there

From the UK for a period of 1-3 months? Then forget the UK charters! Best to try for one of the European flights that come here. Try Martinair out of Amsterdam, Condor Air or LTU out of Germany as they sell extended stay tickets.
You can look via the USA but it will be more expensive.

look at travelling via miami with ba or virgin and then on down with american - probably depends on when you leave the UK

BA will take you to miami and abck for GBP 340 inc tax next month

MY two cents.

Buy the cheapest charter and don't use the return ticket. Then contact the same company and say you want to buy a ticket home. You'll have to buy another return ticket but I found it cheaper than an open ticket. Check that possibily out. I did that but it was out of Toronto.

BTW when are you leaving? Fares from Toronto are very cheap right now.

Easiest to fly to Miami and down, lot more options. I usually shop around when I travel. Take a look at the links and do your own search, get a feel for the pricelevel.

One way from Brussels will cost you less than 300 euros with Jet Air (TIU). Getting back out on a one way ticket on a charter may be a problem though!

I was searching for flights a couple of weeks ago. Cheapest I found was Gatwick to POP at around £480 return excluding taxes. Only problem was the flights were via Amsterdam - fly in there late at night, out the next morning. Adds a hell of a lot of time onto the journey.

When are you planning on going? I'm always on the lookout for the last minute deals from the high street agencies, but there appears to be very little (if anything at all) to DR at the mo. This would suggest that the charter flights are already full.

That seemed to have taken him the better part of a month to do.

cheapest way to get to dom republic is to book your self a one week holiday for about £400 from spain and not return, however you do get a weeks holiday in a top resort all inclusive for this price. i live in spain and have been to dom republic about 8 times and never paid much more than this. If you want to know how to do this, drop me an email and i will give you some more info. or you can call me on 0034 606538443. If you are travaling alone you will have to pay a suppliment, and you will have to make your way to madrid to go to dom republic but this is easy to do and cheap via easyjet. hope this is of help. all the best stafford.

Just read the post.

I have just booked a return charter via Sky Deals -

www.brittaniaairways.com

(very useful 'call me' facility)

for £195 with a 35 day duration

I found them on www.cheapflights.co.uk into pop out of Gatwick.

They were advertised under '0800 flights' but answered the phon 'sky deals' - (doh!!)

Hope they can help.
