The Dominican Republic now boasts 10 international airports.

There now many flights to the Dominican Republic and most tourism destinations have an airport within less than an hour`s drive but be careful to chose the correct airport for your arrival.

On my first trip to Dominican Republic I had booked a two week holiday in Bavaro. I had been busy at work and unable to research the geography of the country. When it came to booking a flight I made this mistake of flying into La Romana when Punta Cana would have been a much better choice.
