The Dominican Republic from Moscow, as well as from anywhere in Russia, is one of the most expensive tourist destinations today. The reason for this is the long and expensive flight and the limited choice of air carriers. What are the options for flights from Moscow to the Dominican Republic?
Charter flight to the Dominican Republic from Aeroflot
For several years now - since the end of the 90s - the Russian airline Aeroflot has been operating a charter chain Moscow - Punta Cana - Moscow with flights from Sheremetyevo airport. Flights are made with a frequency of two to three times a week, and several tour operators are buying blocks of seats on this charter at once.
For almost 20 years, Aeroflot has been operating charter flights from Moscow to the most popular resort town of the Dominican Republic - Punta Cana.
No matter how difficult it is to buy tickets to the Dominican Republic from Moscow on a charter flight, sometimes tour operators make such offers through their websites, offices or authorized travel agencies. The cost of such tickets in both directions is around 50 thousand rubles. It is usually possible to buy last minute tickets only during the summer period.
Regular flights from "Transaero"
In addition to the charter flight of Aeroflot, Transaero carries out direct regular flights to the Dominican Republic. On the wings of "Transaero" you can also fly only to Punta Cana. In total, the Russian air carrier operates eight direct regular flights a week, departing from Moscow's Domodedovo. One way tickets cost from 21 to 40 thousand rubles.
The duration of a direct flight from Moscow to the Dominican Republic is about 12 hours - a tedious and expensive undertaking. That is why today there are no cheap tour packages or air tickets to the Dominican Republic from Russia.
Connecting flights of different airlines
However, in addition to a direct flight on Transaero Airlines, you can also fly connecting flights from Moscow not only to Punta Cana, but also to other resort cities of the Dominican Republic - Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, Santiago and La Romana. Such flights are currently carried out in various combinations by LOT, Air Berlin, Air France, AlItalia, KLM, British Airways, etc. The cost of connecting flights varies and greatly depends on the season, the carrier and, of course, the class of service. The number of hours of waiting for a transfer can also be very large, which, against the background of the duration of the flight itself - it will take at least 12 hours to fly - significantly complicates the way to the beautiful "Dominican Republic".
