Airfares to Miami, New York and Spain have become 10 and 20 percent cheaper in the last few days due to the start of the high tourist season and lower fuel prices.


For Miami there are offers of US$188 plus taxes, so flyers can get a ticket for RD$11,400, down from its month ago price of RD$15,000.


Fares to New York range from 14 to 15,000 pesos, or 10 percent less, whereas to Puerto Rico remain at RD$16,000 and aren’t expected to decline because there aren’t many airlines that cover that route.


Dominican Travel Agents Association (Adavit) vice president Edison UreƱa said the country’s high tourism season and the Christmas festivities begin November 15, when the airlines customarily offer roundtrip specials, with prices now even lower as fuel prices fall.
