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.
