Flights to the Dominican Republic


Map dominican republic

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.

Some merengue recommendations

Juan Luis Guerra is the most popular merengue artist in the Dominican Republic.

His greatest hits collection is a must!

Bachata is also incredibly popular in the Dominican Republic.

The following album gives a good feel for this type of music.
