First of all, what charter companies fly Canada, Quebec or Montrea from DR airportsl?
Is it possible to buy just the airfare instead of the whole hotel+meal package?
can you please give names and numbers for the companies.
Thanks in advance.

To my knowledge, there are no AI packages from the DR to montreal. Call the Reps. of TMR or Air TRansat. If there has been cancellations or extra seats, they wil sell them for about US$400.00. Air Canada also sell charter and regular tickets. Of course the person must be a Canadian or US citizen or have a visa. A Dominican with a visa travelling the first time might have a problem on a charter flight.

I am surprised my friend hasn't posted on this thread yet. She must be drinking yerba mate at her office or in colmado buying junk food.
She lives in santo domingo, canadian citizen (french- the bad canadians). She would like to travel to quebec from any airport in DR and back (round trip). Montreal would do it also as she could take a train from there to quebec.
Many of you good people have given good info but she needs details on how to book a flight from here as many tour operators don't like to sell from DR to canada. I wonder if one has to be at the airport when the flight is departing and try to get on the plane if there are empty seats available? Please lno google info, we need people with solid knowledge. People who know for fact that some trick can be pulled and works.
Thanks.

FYI.. Montreal is in the province of Quebec.
Yesterday someone posted that WestJet is now selling tickets origininating in the DR.
They are the most affordable way to go and fly to POP & PUJ every Saturday through the summer...not sure about Santo Domingo.
I would suggest starting with WestJet.

It looks like some flights from the Dominican Republic to Canada are quite a bit more expensive then the same flights from Canada to the DR.
For example, on 7/12 Air Canada from Montreal to Puerto Plata for 1 week return is $722 and the same flights from the DR are $1129.
The 2 week prices are closer at $992 and $1129. |
I don't see why any tricks need to be pulled.
It looks like one can go to this website and simply enter the departing city and the destination and take a look at what is available on various dates.
Book it online and they will email the ticket.

Thanks for educating me, but I thought informed people knew I was talking about Montreal city and Quebec city. But I appreciate your concern. Thanks.

Westjet is usually the cheapest.
On my last trip to POP, I met a man....
not a DDD, a man who lives in Santiago (Fr. Canadian). He was on the return flight to POP.
POP - Toronto - Quebec city (the capital of the province of Quebec)
Since Westjet flies to Montreal and Quebec, your friend has those options.

The taxes alone have been running around 300 +.

When was this?
I think they charge more than that just for a last minute one-way ticket.
