Default What are the CHEAPEST airfare companies for NJ/NYC-Dominican Republic?
I am looking to go back to the DR in 3 weeks, and so far I see the best price is $432 2 way with taxes included from AA. I am sure there are other cheaper, budget airfare deals that would be better? Spirit seems to have it for 388 dollars, but surely, there must be something even cheaper?
Comfort, drinks, food, service, security, insurance does not matter to me. All I am looking for is something that can fly me over there!!!
I have been going every month to the DR, and these airline prices are really kicking my ass! An observation I noticed last trip on the airplane was that half the seats were damn empty!!! What a waste!
Let me know...thanks

Default those Dominican airport taxes
I doubt any airline can do below $350. If you noticed, there is at least $150 of taxes; mainly the Dominican Republic side. So, how much lower can an airline go before actually being a loss revenue route?

You may try priceline or skyauction?

There were a couple of times that I did not go to DR because of the extra taxes. It was cheaper to go to Mexico.

Default I've just booked 8 tickets for people.........
...........with AA from JFK to Santiago from dates starting Sept 12th through December 13th and the total I paid for each one was as low as $297.00 RT TAXES INCLUDED.......up to $320......

......they were all under the "Caribbean Fall Sale" which I think ends on the 27th of this month.............

.......I bought them all last week, so I am not sure if the lower priced seats are still available........

Cheapest airfare I've seen is from Spirit.....watching the web sales and being a member of the Spirit cheap seats club...I've been getting tix for around $230USD w/ taxes of $120.......but then, that's from FLL not NEW YAWK

Why is it NEW YAWKERS are always asking for cheap? I know it co$t big bux to live there....$4 large should be a walk in the park

The world-renown Sun and Buns is back online!

Welcome back and hope to have you participate with us on DR1 often. (Just remember not to get to "off the wall" or to graphic and I am sure that you will stick around.

The best deals at the momement appear to be from AA or Spirit. I would suggest AA since you get more for your $$. You may want to try Cheap Airline Tickets, Discount Hotels and Airfare - SideStep for your search.

Good Luck and play safe!

ps - I will be in DR 18 Aug - 2 Sep. Maybe I will see you there.

Hey there,
Im going to try to make it there in Sosua in 3 weeks before I start the new job. I went to sidestep.com and it seems that Wednesdays are the cheapest days to leave and come back for some reason. Are Wednesdays cheap for you as well? What days do you find are the cheapest?
I will be going there for a repeat GFE experience (I just got back from Sosua 3 days ago, did you read my trip report on I.S.O.C?) I was there for 8 days and visited her family shackle. They fed me everyday and never asked for money.
Good to see you again and thanks for welcoming me back Dakra

I have been told by the entire crew of insearchofchicas.org that the girl was going to dump me if I didnt take her shopping and gave her money. The admin of the site stated that I wouldnt be with her more than a few hours at the most. Well it apparently turned out that she stayed with me the entire 8 days of my trip. She did briefly asked the 2nd day on the google English-Spanish translation if I could buy her a cell phone because the one she had was her brother's. I replied bluntly that I do not have a lot of money, that I am there to spend time with her and get to know her more better, not to go shopping, and that if she did want to go shopping, there were plenty of other sucker Gringos who are more than willing to do this for her. She read my reply, and gave me a deep, long hug followed by deep kissing!
The rest of the 8 days were nothing but bliss, love, and happiness. We went to Mount Isabella on the top. She showed me her family and they took good care of me when I got sick. They did the laundry for me and let me sleep in the master bedroom with the fan and TV on. The chica dressed me and bathed me, gave me a great massage. It was like being a baby all over again!

Sounds like the type of vacation we dream about. Now wake up and tread lightly. Looks like they got you right where they want to.

Are you saying now I am emotionally/financially vulnerable because I grew to trust this family so well? Could you give me some good hypothetical case scenerios as to what they can do that will make me regret being with the girl?
Apperciate it...
