Introduction to the Dominican Republic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Close to the United States (approximately 2.5 hours between Miami and Punta Cana), the Dominican Republic is a Caribbean<\/a> country occupying the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with Haiti. Famous for its stunning beaches, ideal weather conditions, all-inclusive resorts and varied landscapes, this country is a popular tourist destination for travellers worldwide, including Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its capital, Santo Domingo, is the oldest city in the New World and is rich in historical and cultural sites, including the first cathedral and the first university in the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have selected all-inclusive resorts for you in every major city: some are adults-only, while others offer childcare services with activities. A multitude of activities await you there, ranging from hiking in the mountains of the Cordillera Central to exploring the caves of Los Haitises National Park or a boat excursions to observe whales in Samana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wealth of its culture is reflected in its music, mainly merengue and bachata, and its cuisine, which blends Spanish, African and Taina influences. You will be charmed by the hospitality of the locals. It’s an ideal destination for families and couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get to the Dominican Republic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dominican Republic<\/a> is served by major airlines from Canada, such as Air Canada, Sunwing, WestJet and Air Transat, as well as low-cost carriers<\/em> like Flair Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Air Transat serves several destinations in the Dominican Republic, including the major cities of Punta Cana (PUJ), Puerto Plata (POP), and Samana (AZS) with flights departing from Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Airlines operates flights from the United States, as do Jet Blue and American Airlines. From Paris, it will be possible to find direct flights with Air France<\/a> or Air Cara\u00efbes to Santo Domingo (SDQ) and Punta Cana (PUJ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A travel agency, such as Air Canada Vacations<\/a>, allows you to book an all-inclusive trip to the Dominican Republic without any hassle. In addition, Aeroplan members earn up to 20,000 additional Aeroplan points<\/a> per member for certain packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if you have Aeroplan<\/a> points, you can go on your own without restrictions and whenever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a low-cost vacation, use your Reward Points to escape to the South. Effective January 1, 2026, the way you earn Aeroplan points on the flight portion of your Air Canada Vacations<\/a> package is changing: you will receive a fixed number of points based on the chosen cabin and destination, and these points will be credited at the end of your last flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, an Economy Class flight to the Caribbean will earn you 500 Aeroplan points, while a Premium Economy flight to Europe will allow you to accumulate 1,500 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
