List of U.S. and International Airlines Flying to the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is well connected to the United States, with dozens of direct flights every day from major American cities. Whether you’re flying from the East Coast, Midwest, or South, there are plenty of options for reaching paradise in under five hours.
✈️ Direct flights from the U.S.
Most travelers from the U.S. land in Punta Cana (PUJ) or Santo Domingo (SDQ), the country’s two busiest airports. Here are the major airlines offering direct service:
American Airlines: Frequent flights from Miami, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Dallas to Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, and Santiago.
JetBlue: A popular low-cost option with direct routes from New York (JFK), Newark, Boston, and Fort Lauderdale.
Delta Airlines: Direct flights from Atlanta, New York, and Detroit.
United Airlines: Operates routes from Newark, Houston, and Chicago.
Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines: Ultra-low-cost carriers flying to Punta Cana and Santo Domingo, ideal for budget-conscious travelers.
✈️ Tip from Tropical Évasion: If you want to skip the crowds and the all-inclusive routine, we offer private transfers from all major airports to handpicked locations across the island — including Bayahibe, Boca de Yuma, and Samaná.
Where Should You Fly Into?
The Dominican Republic has several international airports. The best one for you depends on your itinerary:
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) – The busiest and most tourist-friendly airport, with tons of resort connections.
Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) – Located near Santo Domingo, ideal for travelers interested in history, culture, and city life.
La Romana International Airport (LRM) – Closest to Bayahibe and excellent for cruise passengers or those looking for a quieter beach setting.
El Catey Airport in Samaná (AZS) – For travelers seeking hidden gems, waterfalls, and whale watching in the north.
Puerto Plata Airport (POP) – Gateway to the north coast, including surfing hotspots like Cabarete.
🛬 No matter where you land, Tropical Évasion can pick you up and take you wherever you want to go — in comfort and with local insight.
How About Flights from Canada or Europe?
If you’re planning a trip with family or friends coming from outside the U.S., here are other common flight routes:
Air Canada, Air Transat, and WestJet fly year-round from Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
Iberia (Spain), Air France, and Condor (Germany) serve European travelers heading to the island, often with connecting flights through U.S. hubs.
When Should You Book Your Flight?
The most popular travel season in the Dominican Republic runs from December through April, when the weather is dry, sunny, and warm. This is also the time when flights are most expensive, so booking early is key.
Here are some travel-smart tips:
Book your flight 2–3 months in advance, especially if you’re flying during winter or holidays.
Travel midweek to score better deals (Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be cheaper).
Use tools like Google Flights or Hopper to track price drops.
Let Tropical Évasion Make It Easy
La meilleure période pour partir en République dominicaine se situe entre décembre et avril, pendant la saison sèche. C’est aussi la haute saison touristique, donc les prix peuvent grimper. Voici nos conseils :
Réservez vos billets au moins 2 à 4 mois à l’avance, surtout si vous partez en période de vacances scolaires ;
Comparez les prix en naviguant en navigation privée et utilisez des comparateurs fiables ;
Si vous êtes flexible, optez pour les départs en semaine, souvent moins chers que le week-end.
