Miami to Santiago de los Caballeros is the door to the Cibao valley, the DR's second city and the region closest to Haiti's north. Cibao International is about 40 minutes from Santiago and two hours by road from Dajabón on the Haitian border, which puts Cap-Haïtien within reach overland, though we only recommend that with a trusted driver and a daylight crossing. American flies nonstop from Miami in around two hours fifteen minutes. Santiago is a smaller airport than Las Américas and both departure and arrival are usually calmer.

When to book
The Dominican Republic is a year-round market: over 10 million passengers flew between the US and the DR in the year to June 2025. Prices rise for Christmas, Semana Santa (Easter week) and July to August. February to early April and September to early November are the sweet spots. Three to six weeks ahead is a good target outside holidays.
