The flights covered by the waiver are those going to and from Punta Cana, on the eastern tip of the Island, where several American tourists have died in the last year. Delta said it is granting the waiver for travel through August 15, and if passengers are going to rebook they must begin travel no later than November 20. But if passengers cancel the flight altogether, they will get a credit that they can use on Delta for a period of one year from the original booking date.
David Tarsh, a spokeperson for ForwardKeys, said the decline is similar to what happens sometimes after violence strikes a country."You can get a long continued problem or things can recover quite quickly, depending on whether people see the threat as being contained or ongoing. The problem you have here is the uncertainty, because the deaths are a mystery.
Props to Delta for allowing their passengers to transfer or cancel flights to the Dominican without fees. It’s a shame that AmericanAir doesn’t care about American lives and hasn’t followed suit (pun intended)!
If only SunCountryAir and Expedia could start doing the same. I was on hold for 2.5 hrs this morning trying to change my trip 🤦🏻♂️
The amount of dangerous pesticides they spray at these resorts is outrageous. They also fumigate the rooms for bedbugs. Be aware.
Air Lines?
Ignorance. Most tourist die in Colombia and Mexico. Statistics are there, and show it. Thats good if you dont wanna come, our tourism is growing up anyway!
IT is good
If the DR wants to prevent its tourism industry form free-falling, it needs to investigate these deaths ASAP instead of acting like the deaths were just accidents or coincidences.
Bye DR! ✌️
Relieve for the riches. Thanks
