Inter-island hopping

ALM offers service to the Dutch Caribbean islands of St. Maarten and Curacao. Keep in mind that it is easy to hop an American Eagle flight over to San Juan and then connect out to just about anywhere in the Caribbean. Currently underway, though not yet complete, are ambitious plans to expand intra-air service between the major airports on the island.

Upon arriving at the airport always keep your luggage and personal belongings close to you and never out of your sight. Luggage theft and pickpocketing is a common problem here. You will also be overwhelmed by porters and airport "assistants" who will offer to carry your bags, get you a taxi, and give out tour information as you make your way out of the airport in Santo Domingo. Depending on the number of travel bags you are carrying, you will soon have a porter for each one -- and each one expecting a tip. Be polite but firm. Carry what you can and use only one other porter if necessary and then make your way directly to the taxi station.
