In this new flight report I tell you what it's like to fly charter directly between Quito and Punta Cana with Maxitravel and Aeroregional.
A new experience comes to this blog. We flew for the first time in a charter flight internationally as part of an all-inclusive package that is marketed by the largest wholesaler and charter company in the Ecuador, Maxitravel.
In this new flight report I will tell you everything you need to know for that moment when you think about or buy one of these popular packages that are sold in the country every year., especially in high season for vacations in the mountains or on the Ecuadorian coast.
We fly with Maxitravel and Aeroregional direct from Quito to Punta Cana
Thanks to the collaboration of Maxitravel I was able to be part of one of the more than 40 charter flights organized by this tourism wholesaler that also includes destinations such as Panama, Cartagena and Curacao between july and september.
For the first time, I traveled to Punta Cana, a highly valued destination worldwide for its beaches, climate, entertainment centers, food and much more that make this destination one of the most requested.
Today I will tell you everything you need to know about what it is like to fly on a charter flight, in case they have never done it, and so this information will serve you and your close ones for when you opt for this type of service. We start with the official video on the YouTube channel with much more information:
Starting we go directly with the recommendations. A flight charter it differs from a regular flight in that it is not marketed by the airline that flies it, so the online check-in option will not be enabled, making it necessary for us to approach 3 hours in advance.
You can go two hours before like any international flight, but since there is a large influx of people and if you want to spend less time standing, it is better to arrive early and thus waste less time in line.
In this opportunity we also premiere plane, first time in the blog we fly in what is the third plane of Aeroregional, we mean the Boeing 737-400 HC-CWG avion with 25 years since your first flight, msn serial number 28087 and that its previous operator was Japan Transocean.
Another particular detail of flying in a charter is that the airline has no direct relationship with the passenger in terms of notifications or changes in the itinerary., All this information and interaction is in charge of the respective travel agencies with which the traveler purchased his package..
Charter flights are not regular, this means that they do not follow a fixed itinerary, there may be changes in the itinerary or that a flight to a destination changes hours by minutes and hours between operations so as not to generate a regular operation.
Let's talk about the travel requirements to Punta Cana before taking off. these are very simple, Given the Dominican Republic does not ask for anything special, no vaccination card and any type of negative test must be presented. You just have to fill out the form for entry and exit on this website: https://eticket.migracion.gob.do/
This form will be reviewed by the airline at the time of check-in, but no one else will ask for them along the journey, so you can take it as a backup with a screenshot on your cell phone. Do not forget that to travel to the Dominican Republic Ecuadorians we should do it with valid passport, visa is not required.
Remember that when you buy an all-inclusive package, You should check carefully what is included and what is not included in your package.. Take this into account to be able to adjust your expenses well before and during your vacation.
If you were wondering what this Boeing looks like 737-400 inside, I share above a gallery with some details. Being able to highlight that many signs are in Japanese and that its state of interior care is very good., even its reclining system is very comfortable.
An additional feature of charter flights, is that the contracting agency programs together with the airline at what time the plane takes off, this thinking of the comfort of its clients who seek to enjoy the hotel facilities and contracted services for as long as possible..
In this case, the flight originated in Guayaquil leaving at 09:30 am and after a stopover in Quito (where i boarded the plane) we take off at 11:00 am direct to Punta Cana.
The flight lasts for 3 hours and 15 minutes, which allowed us to land at the destination at 15:15 hours and we are passing migration to 15:40 (Dominican Republic is 1 hour ahead). This schedule brings an important advantage for the traveler, which you can enjoy part of the afternoon already in the hotel using the facilities, playa, food and drinks part of the all inclusive.
Definitely, charter flying is an interesting alternative for those who want to travel with peace of mind and not worry about transfers, hotel and flight booking, all well already packaged in a single reservation. The flight time factor, that although towards this destination there are endless options with connection in Bogotá, Lima or Panama, the duration of the flight and how long the traveler wants to be on a stopover will be determining factors in defining which option to use.
I hope you like this flight report and any additional questions you have about what it is like to fly charter or from the destination, I will answer it on social networks and in the comments below.
