| We had to interrupt our Miami Music Week for a quick daytrip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Airline service was provided by LATAM, the result of a merger between LAN Chile and TAM Brasil. |
 |
| The outbound flight was on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with two aisles and 3-3-3 seating. |
 |
| If you're looking about an article about all the exciting things to do in Punta Cana, this ain't it. Our business was strictly inside the airport and we never left it, lol. But this is the approach into Punta Cana. There are numerous resorts, often all-inclusive, in the area. And as you can see, sparsely populated. The big metropolitan area in the DR, Santo Domingo, is nowhere near here. |
 |
| Canadian airlines Air Canada, Air Transat and Sunwing were on the ramp along with American carriers Frontier, Spirit, Delta and American. There are two terminals, numbered A and B. LATAM uses Terminal A. |
 |
| Welcome to Punta Cana. |
 |
| Terminal A is modern and filled with shops and restaurants. But with the American Spring Break in progress, the place was a zoo. |
 |
| At Terminal A there are no jet bridges. We disembarked the plane via stairs and were able to walk into the terminal. For the return flight, the plane was parked at a remote stand so we had to take a bus from the terminal gate to the plane. |
 |
| And soon we were back in the air headed to Miami. Had hoped to get out to an evening MMW event but Customs & Immigration at MIA was a slow affair, even with Mobile Passport and the hotel shuttle took forever so it was not practical to go back out. Nonetheless, as far as the daytrip goes, a good time was had by all. |
