Any flights between Puerto Plata and Santo Domingo?

[Kaki]

As the title says, are there any flights between Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata (it doesn't matter which airport). Nothing comes up at http://www.caribbeanjet.com/, nor is this route scheduled at http://takeoffweb.com/_wsn/page2.html

Any more options?

Thanks!

Caribe tours runs an express bus service and its only 4 hours...and very cheap! I have found it to be very comfortable and one can sit back and relax.

PS SDQ and POP each only have 1 airport, Las Americas in SDQ and Gregorio Luperon in POP

I got a quote from Carribean Jet I think about 6 months ago and the price was $450 US return. Take the bus. It takes a long time, but if you can spare the time, you will see a nice cross section of the country. The coaches are comfortable and very inexpensive

A four hour bus ride is really not that long when you consider even the shortest flight is three hours from the time you enter airport A and leave airport B.

I agree although it really took me much longer than 4 hours. I lived in Juan Dolio at the time so I had to take a bus to Santo Domingo and a taxi to Caribe tours and then the Caribe Tour bus I took stopped everywhere! I didn't see any express busses leaving at the time I was there...door to door it took almost 7 hours. The bus left at noon and I was in Puerto Plata by 5:30. I suppose an express bus would take 4 hours. My advice to the OP is to take an express bus if there is one.

Here is their website Caribe Tours C. Por A.

You can also take Metro Bus from Puerto Plata to Santo Domingo. I have never rode on Metro but they receive good reviews.
