Santo Domingo

[George03]

Howdy guys. I have a trip planned to DR in August (pending the world getting back to normal). I have read about 30 pages back for both Sousa / Santo Domingo and am having a hard time deciding which one to go to. Here is what I'm looking for, and hoping you guys can help me pick what might be best for me. My budget is flexible, but I tend to like higher-end girls (8/9's') + quantity. I like the idea of at least 2-4 girls a day with at least two or three threesomes over the week. I really enjoy higher-end properties (Looking at the JW in Santo Domingo), but I wouldn't mind an air-bnb if I could find something that wasn't a dump.

My ideal day is:.

Heck, try both if you have time. You can get from SD to Puerto Plato in about 3 hours on a bus, I think. If you have a week or less, I would go to Blackbeards for a couple of days, then to Sosua. You can get the in's and outs from some of the guests at BB"S. Santo Domingo may be slightly harder to navigate for a first time, if you only have a short time. Of course, I haven't been in over a year, and don't know how things will be post Covid.

All fares are fully refundable for any flight cancelled due to coronavirus restrictions.

I'm not going to buy a plane ticket in all of 2020. Only in 2021 will I start to think about traveling.

Airlines are trying to get your money and if the flight is canceled you'll get a voucher. What happens to your voucher if an airline is bankrupt?

I am 100% sure both the United States Congress and the European Union have ruled that airlines that operate in their respective territories must provide full refunds for flights they cancel due to coronavirus travel restrictions. The passenger only needs to request it. If you have any doubt, call the airline and ask them. Again, it is an act of Congress and a European Union regulation (see the links). The USA Congress took action after the Department of Transportation received a flood of complaints from travelers who were offered vouchers and who endured stalling tactics by the airlines.

With respect to the vouchers, they can lose all value in the event the issuing airline goes bankrupt. It has happened in the past. Sometimes a struggling airline is acquired by another and the vouchers are honored (e. G. Continental Airlines when United subsumed it). The airlines are clearly struggling. They have been offering 10% and more voucher value bonuses to encourage customers to accept them rather than request refunds they must provide. My advice is to avoid vouchers and demand refunds. If I remember correctly it took about 7 business days for the American Airlines refund to show up. I was reminded I had an Avianca ticket when I got a notification the flight was canceled. The e-mail urged me to request a voucher and did not offer a refund. I felt that was a shady business practice so I disputed the charge with my credit card provider and received an immediate credit that was made permanent a couple of days later. I see a lot of confusion and about the refund requirement. I am surprised by how few people seem aware of this rule that has been in place since early April. The Avianca practice is one of the reasons why.

What is interesting for me, is the fact that apparently STI is completely closed, while two in SDQ area are operating as airports.

Looks like Santiago airport is very much open even though with only a handful of flights. So yes, the websites are probably a better source of info and the other source did not know what they were saying.

By the way, the airline web sites are very good sources for information about when you would be able to travel.

The answer to your question is, as stated by the General Manager of Aerodom in the report you linked, "after the government authorizes it". Aerodom is not a government entity. It is a private company that operates Dominican airports with government authorization. The Aerodom executive explained that once authorized the decision of how soon to open which airports will depend on demand. She predicted that airports such as Puerto Plata that depend on tourism demand more than others would open later.

Another poster question how and why Santo Domingo's Las Americas airport is operating. The answer is Santo Domingo is the destination for cargo, courier, and repatriation flights, unlike Santiago and other airports. By the way, the airline web sites are very good sources for information about when you would be able to travel.

Clear information, I didn't know that SD airport is for cargo, courier, and repatriation flights, but yes make sense.

I thought Aerodom was from the government, I did not understand the article well. I'll start to take a look to the airline websites!! Thanks!!

By the way, here is another piece of news, from today: The President has asked for another extension, of 25 days, starting 6/2, of the lock down.

"El presidente, Danilo Medina, pidi este mircoles al Congreso Nacional prorrogar el estado de emergencia por otros 25 dias a partir del 2 de junio "para seguir avanzando en la desescalada gradual why segura por fases del distanciamiento social why de la reapertura de la economa".

I think it is reasonable about the 25 days more, better to be strong more days and get out of this!

It is a question.

"In the case of the airports of Puerto Plata and Saman they will be reactivated closer to the end of the year or beginning of 2021, although they will be available for whatever is required".

Are you asking or telling? What is the source of your information or reason for asking?

POP airport might not open for tourism until 2021?

I cannot imagine the face if they are closed for that long. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

July? Colombia is 31 August. Will DR be my first post-covid trip? Lets wait and see.

I'm there 8/8 - 8/14. Santo Domingo.

What I have seen and observed in Philippines. Ladies pushing wheelchair bound western husband with her family carrying luggage etc. I guess if one takes care of her family which is very important to her then she will be the best wife you need in your old age. India should not even be on the list. It will be very difficult for a westerner to get a bride from conservative society. Thailand should be number 2 followed by ex soviet countries including Russia.

Yeah, I was surprised to see India on the list, too, Sammon. Never had an Indian piece of ass but some of them are quite exotic as is the case in most any country. I'm going to try to book a flight to DR July 6. Already booked for PI and Singapore (conference) for Oct. Nov. Will try to book to Medellin the day after Christmas to spend New Years with a special Colombiana porn princess. Fuck this goddamned virus. I mean, be careful to avoid crowds but I never liked crowds anyways. We're all going to die someday anyway so get as much pussy as you can. Cheers.

........... And word on the street is they are once again opening their legs to the world on July 5, 2020. Big title lover ought to be dancing a jig right now. BOOYAO!
