    As usual it’s cheaper for me to fly to the states than to fly LIAT to Punta Cana. Ticket price is 2x’s the ticket price from Anu to JFK

    Hope the fares stay affordable so ordinary people can benefit, not just business travellers

    Finally! No more hopping through multiple islands to get to the Dominican Republic. This will save time and money

    Santo Domingo is a major hub. This move makes sense strategically and could boost tourism both ways.

    LIAT keeping the Caribbean close-knit, love seeing our islands working together like this!
