Transfer between flights

Santo Domingo is a regionally important transfer hub thanks to Sky High Dominicana and AraJet airlines, which are based here and also offer connecting flights.

Transferring between flights here is very easy and quick.

Watch for the "Transfer Passengers" signs when you get off the plane. Just before immigration, turn right at the security checkpoint, where lines rarely form for more than 5 minutes.

After that you will be in the departure gate area.

The airport has only one building, so there are no transfers between terminals.

It usually takes around 10-25 minutes to get from plane to plane.
