Flights to Dominican Republic - Overview
Out of all Caribbean destinations, the Dominican Republic generally has the best selection of charter flights from the UK. By far the most popular destination for Dominican Republic flights is Puerto Plata, although a good selection of flights is also available to Punta Cana. Charter flights to La Romana are not so widely available, whereas the capital, Santo Domingo, is only served by scheduled flights, although it does not have any direct links with the UK.
Although the majority of people visiting the Dominican Republic do so as part of a holiday package, growing demand for investment property in the area, together with a niche market for independent travellers, has ensured that there are always some seat-only deals available on flights to the Dominican Republic, especially with operators like Thomson. Thomsonfly have just announced new cheap flights to the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana) from Newcastle.
Note that although we've seen cheap flights to the Dominican Republic offered at just £99 one way, you will still have to purchase a round trip flight to get any deals at these prices. Even though most flight prices will now include standard UK-bases airport fees and taxes, you will still have to pay additional charges locally - allow an extra US$10 to purchase a tourist card on arrival, and US$20 departure tax.
We hope that you have found this information about flights to Dominican Republic useful. If you have any further questions about Dominican Republic flights, please do not hesitate to drop by our flights blog.
Mini guide to Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic , which occupies the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, has some spectacularly beautiful scenery and some of the best beaches in the world. The country has a mountainous central spine boasting the highest peak in the Caribbean , the 3,175-m Pico Duarte, and is famous for its native amber. It is also a haven for watersports enthusiasts. No wonder Chris topher Columbus called it the ‘fairest land under heaven.' The Republic has become a popular holiday destination with British tourists during the past decade as all-inclusive hotel developments have sprung up across the sunny east coast. The country also offers many family-run hotels which offer a more personalised service. Some of the colonial houses in historic capital Santo Domingo which have been converted into hotels are fantastically opulent. Alas Santo Domingo, which lies on the estuary of the River Ozama on the south coast of the country, is all too often passed by as holidaymakers head to the resorts. It is the oldest European colonial city in the Americas and sympathetic restoration of the old colonial heart has made the area very attractive, with open-air cafes and pleasant squares near the waterfront. The biggest draw in the Dominican Republic is naturally the beaches, many of which are picture postcard perfect, blessed with fine white sand, and coconut palms gently swaying in the breeze. The most popular and developed beaches are in the east, around Punta Cana, whereas the north tends to be quieter and more secluded - although the Dom. Rep's most popular resort of Puerto Plata is on the northern side. The north side of the country is also home to some of the best windsurfing spots in the world. Unfortunately the Dominican Republic does have a seamy side and has become a major “sex tourism” hotspot in recent years. Pimps and hookers have even been known to approach honeymooning couples touting their business. A firm “no” usually does the trick (if you'll pardon the pun).
