Greetings @Nicolas, a correction in the paragraph that quotes » Daily flights between Newark/New York and Georgetown, Cayman Islands and **Port Plato, Dominican Republic"
**Puerto Plato –> Puerto Plata
Otherwise, Very interesting and the information was quite useful to me..
Thank you Edgar for your contribution., has been corrected.
There will be no chances yet, for trips between the US and Venezuela
Hello there, not yet, The only way is with stops to get between those two countries.
There is a possibility that the Dallas route will return – Quito?
I think so, since they are not currently flying the 3 daily frequencies to Miami, you have flights available that are not operating.
