What It's Really Like Flying & Landing at the Punta Cana Airport

#puntacana #airport #transportation
In this video I take you inside and show you what it is really like flying to the Punta Cana Airport (PJC).
When I land, I explain how to navigate the customs process, show you how baggage inspection works, and explain how to get transportation from the Punta Cana Airport to your hotel.
There are several transportation options, such as taxis, hotel shuttles, and private transfers. I reveal the costs of how much a taxi costs to your Punta Cana hotel, as well as what a private transport will cost to your hotel.
Also, I give advice on what the overall experience is like when you travel to the Punta Cana airport, such as how long it takes to get through customs and retrieve your bags, as well tips and secrets to help you be safe.
For this flight I chose Delta Airlines, which has the some of the most affordable flights to Punta Cana.

I started watching and following you right before my first trip to Punta Cana a few years back and although I consider myself a seasoned traveler, I check in to view your travels for pointers. One thing you may want to add is the VIP Fast Track option offered at Punta Cana Airport. $100/person ($85 if 3 or more). They meet you as you depart airplane with a sign with your name , take you inside to a small lounge for drinks and snacks and go to handle immigration and customs for you and then get your bags and then they come to get you from the lounge and walk you out to your transportation. If you tell your transportation that you are using vip they meet you at a separate entrance. You never have to deal with all of those lines or crowds

[@susanstadtlander9140]

They offer the same services in Jamaica. I found it very helpful and a relaxing way to start my vacation. They also offer a similar return service.

[@nikki4911]

Thx . Im looking into it

[@elvisurbina4768]

How do you book the vip fast tracking .? On arrival, ?

[@christophermichael2138]

@@elvisurbina4768 you book it once you have your flight info

[@nikki4911]

@@christophermichael2138 google Punta Cana vip fast tracking. its all there

[@CLPRPSD]

It’s worth noting, for the viewers, that prior to arriving (up to 72 hour before) that you should fill out the online e-ticket for immigration which gives you a QR code which gets you through immigration…otherwise you cause issues with the rest of us wanting to get through quickly LOL

[@Coolist]

This is true and a great additional piece of info. I just assumed everyone would sort ahead that as they would sort their own flight. BUT, I will mention, if you do not have it completed at the airport, you can complete it there, and the people at the airlines or security will make you step outside of line to do that - it doesn't really affect others, it just adds, or takes away, another 30 minutes at the airport.

[@CLPRPSD]

@@Coolist it actually affected us. They held up the line to tell people about filling it out and had to coach them through it. It slowed things up quite a bit and people were getting testy. It’s amazing to me, how many people really do not research ahead.

[@Giannisdad]

@coolist where do you find this form you are speaking of? Thx… Heading to Punta Cana in July

[@CLPRPSD]

@@Giannisdad no more than 72 hours before you are to arrive and depart from the DR

[@Giannisdad]

@@CLPRPSD where do you find it at 72 hours prior?

[@ninaking7222]

Also, if you book the vip fast track through customs you exit at the vip doors it’s way less chaotic. Pro Tip: let your transfer service know before you arrive to pick you up at the vip doors. It’s so much easier. I always use Kelly Tours in this area of the DR. They are reliable, safe, and every transfer is private. They are also locally owned and operated unlike Amstar which is corporate. We always try to put money back into the local economy. Kelly Tours is also way cheaper than Amstar.

[@sobermidnight]

How to book vip fast track?

[@robertobrien3122]

150 dollars nty

[@COCOGROCOSHOW]

I think that travelers from Canada like me have a best deal in that mater . We book absolutely everything right in our travel agency in Canada . All inclusive , flight ,hotel,food,drinks , private transfer to resort where we going . Those guys have the list of people that they picking up and they don't leave until they got all of us. We carry the money just for tips and souvenirs .

[@antoniettavilleneuve498]

hey, yes, we booked everything including the transfer too. Question, do you confirm your transfer here in Canada and how do you know the name of the transfer company ?

Same here in England it's all done together. All I've got to do is turn up with my case passport boarding passes downloaded online and the entry form done before hand. It's 9 Hour flight for us. How long is it from Canada?

[@riccochet704]

Been there a bunch of times. That airport is chaos at the transport area. Best thing I can say is to pre-book your transfer, and, yes, private transfers are the way to go. Last time we used Viator and booked a luxury SUV, which happened to be a Escalade. Much nicer than the van's that you typically get.

[@Coolist]

That's exactly what I did - prebooked Amstar. You can do it the day up to your flight.

That area in the airport that you weren't sure what it was has the hotel transfer desks. We took Amstar. It's the first desk. It's dirt cheap. I hope you will be staying at Iberostar Grand Bavaro. I love that place.

[@mentonerodominicano]

I flew out of PUJ in the summer and the bus to the plane situation was a little overkill, but I loved the high ceiling and huge terminal space, which is a lot better than the low ceilings the other Dominican airports have.

[@davidjohnston6867]

Thank you so much for making this video! Most of the advice I saw before my trip was to grab a cab, but that is absolute chaos. I remember being swindled by all sorts of drivers as one man with a clipboard was trying to maintain order and only let certain drivers take certain passengers. I can't agree more - book a private shuttle in Punta Cana.

[@Coolist]

I didn't want to get into, but many times at text airports I've been offered very illict things by the cabbie as soon as I entered the cab. Now i'm the a car in the guy with a guy that doesn't even work for a company, with my bags in the trunk, in a foreign country, hoping that I make it to my hotel as he could potentially take me anywhere. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKERS EVERYONE.

[@bodyloverz30]

@@Coolist I highly recommend booking the Arrival/Departure VIP Experience, where they pick you up on a golf cart, to VIP customs lounge, then directly through to you car. Leaving the island, they take you through security, through immigration, to a Departure's Lounge, with food/drink. This is well worth the money 100%!

[@josephmoya2105]

I enjoy your videos, as a flight attendant I appreciate you. I have been to PUJ so many times and you been on point with your reviews. great job!! You inspire me to continue to travel.

[@actinglikeseals]

It's funny, I'm leaving Punta Cana tonight after spending 7 wonderful days here and you're just arriving😂. My wife, her 3 best friends and myself stayed at the Riu Palace Bavaro. It's our first international trip and experience staying in an all inclusive. Food was excellent, beach was gorgeous and never had seaweed. The service from staff was top notch and never felt awkward interactions. Will definitely come back and do this again. 10/10 in our books

[@Coolist]

I stayed at one of those hotels in that complex 😎

[@Aggiemicro]

You are my fav hotel reviewer!! So excited you back to Punta Cana. I just get back with my hubby from Breathless, and your review was up to the point, but I took pros and cons. I got to say the beach at resort was beautiful and what you said, and we went with it. We were ecstatic to find the beach the way you describe it. Awesome sauce🙂 We tried your tip for specialty cocktails in the restaurant, and it always works haha Great reviews, and thank you for keeping it interesting!!! Have fun in Punta Cana, already miss it immensely hahaha

[@wigglz]

That area you didn't know what it was is, the area you go to verify and get your bus number to your resort if you book an all inclusive package with transportation. Generally these are large coach buses. You need to find your company you booked with and they will have your name on a list.

Just a little more information about the Punta Cana airport...arriving from Canada the plane stops on the tarmac and you have to walk down the plane stairs to ground level where everyone boards a bus with standing room and are taken to the airport doors. If you have mobility issues you stay on the plane and someone will help you.

It takes me about 30 minutes going there.. (been there 9 times?) But it depends on when your flight lands.. if you get a flight that lands before 1pm... you can get thru in 20-30 minutes.. if you land after that.. could be 30-45 cause more planes are landing. It all depends on how many flights lands near the same timeframe

[@Coolist]

Bro, buy lottery tickets because all my experiences were nothing as you described. I've been there for two hours at times. Several planes land at once, creating a backlog for the only two baggage stalls which use outdated manual unloading techniques. Sometimes I've been out in under and hour, but personally for me, I would never expect it 30-45 minutes. From touchdown to transport.

I'm assuming you arrived at Terminal B, whereas I have arrived at the fiasco that is Terminal A on my 2 trips to Punta Cana from Canada. The Arrival at the gate was by walking down air stairs, then a crowded bus across the tarmac, to the "gate".....then baggage claim that allows rain to come in through the openings in the roof.....nothing that I saw arriving in PJC looked like what you showed.....and I haven't even mentioned the chaos of the taxi/bus/rental care area at Terminal A. Your advice there was valid....if it doesn't feel right, don't do it....and do not tell them where you are going. Give your family name, and get them to show you your name on their clipboard.
