Fare tips

  • Fly midweek and avoid Christmas, New Year and Easter peaks.
  • Compare airports on the same island, such as Punta Cana and Santo Domingo.
  • Inter-island flights are often cheapest booked as separate tickets, but leave long connections.
  • Check baggage rules on small regional aircraft.

Each island guide lists its airport codes.
