Posts: 4026This should help. Anything and everything you will find in Sosua, Blackbeards, Puerto Plata, and Santiago combined you will also find in Santo Domingo plus quite a bit more. It is true that Santo Domingo is not as tourist oriented as Sosua or Blackbeards (e. G. There are no touts on every street corner steering you and you can't walk the entirety of Santo Domingo in 30 minutes or less the way you can Sosua or Blackbeards, and there is no one to hold your dick for you like there is at Blackbeards).

Posts: 4026I 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.

Posts: 319Are you sure?
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?

Posts: 4026The 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.

"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".

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

Posts: 139POP 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.
