Posts: 4043If it is about airline tickets, dispute the credit card charge. If it was not paid by credit card I have no advice other than to use a credit card in the future.

Posts: 4043Use the bus, an uber from the north coast to Santo Domingo would be crazy expensive. Blackbeards, well you don't need me to say anything about it. There is more than enough Blackbeards content all over the Internet.

Posts: 4043Yes, there are touts in Santo Domingo. No, they are not on every corner like they are in Sosua. In Santo Domingo they post up outside hotels that cater to tourists and along the malecon. I get the Sosua scene. It's the guys I know who live there but don't own a bar, hotel, or restaurant who confuse me. I get bored in Sosua after a couple of hours.

Posts: 319There is also another bus line.
Both will stop in Puerto Plata. From there add about $5 for the taxi to BB.

Posts: 272Tip. Use the Metro Bus when traveling from Sosua to Santo Domingo. Its very efficient and clean (AC and bathroom).
It costs $10 and trip takes 4 1/2 hours -- It departs from the Texaco Station in Sosua every couple of hours.

Posts: 4043This 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: 4043I 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.
