Default Jumpseating from Punta Cana

Hi everyone, I know this has been covered before, but has anyone jumpseated (not non-reved) from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic? How much did it run you? How were the gates agents? Thanks for the help.

I "tried" to jumpseat on Spirit to FLL from PUJ about three years ago. The agents weren't too sure how to go about it, and then finally said it wasn't available. All was not lost though as they sold me an ID 90 (around $80) and gave me a first class seat for the flight. I went to say hello to the flightcrew and they said I was ALWAYS welcome on their jumpseat and that they wished they'd have known I was trying to catch a ride. It all turned out great though and the crewmembers were fantastic.

Being "The Dominican" I can tell you than unless you are a resident in the DR, you will have to pay for the tax that will run you about $50-$75 enjoy your time in the DR man, the girls are awesome

Spirit will take you!!! and if you're coming out of Santo Domingo, Jetblue!!
Like The Dominican said you'll have to pay taxes... I usually pay around $60!
have fun

USA3000 Airlines would probably be a good way to go. The schedule is a bit patchy but you can check dates and destinations from their website. The pilot website, Welcome to usa3000pilots.com, has more info as well. If you are anywhere near one of their 9 US bases you couold probably take a quick trip to the airport and find out, or even talk to, the pilot that would be doing the trip.

Melia Tropical and Melia Caribe (twin resorts) are pretty amazing... something like 10 or 12 different restaurants and all-inclusive, of course. It's where we went on our honeymoon.

Hey, Dominican, do Dominican citizens have to pay the tax or do you have to prove that you actually live there?
