Flights from Fort Lauderdale to Santo Domingo
Compare every airline on this route with the total price up front, then book with people who answer.
Total price includes taxes and the Jetvala service fee; baggage fees may apply.
Fort Lauderdale to Santo Domingo is the value route: JetBlue flies it nonstop in about two and a half hours from Terminal 3. Spirit, which used to undercut everyone on this route, ceased operations on May 2, 2026, so JetBlue is the only nonstop from Broward; American from Miami is the alternative when JetBlue's days or prices do not work. The trap is still baggage. JetBlue's Blue Basic includes no checked bag, and a 50 lb bag added at the airport costs far more than one added at booking, so compare the all-in total, not the headline fare. Blue fare bundles are usually the better deal for a family with suitcases.

When to book
The Dominican Republic is a year-round market: over 10 million passengers flew between the US and the DR in the year to June 2025. Prices rise for Christmas, Semana Santa (Easter week) and July to August. February to early April and September to early November are the sweet spots. Three to six weeks ahead is a good target outside holidays.
About the airports
