delta flights Fort Lauderdale to Santo Domingo

Delta airlines added another route to Latin America and the Caribbean with two new gateways for travel between the United States and two of the hottest destinations in the region. Delta offer direct service between Fort Lauderdale and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic* and between Los Angeles and Belize City, Belize*.

Delta offering a special low fare from Fort Lauderdale to Santo Domingo of $139 one way based on a round-trip purchase for tickets purchased at delta.com or through a travel agent. Travel to Santo Domingo may begin on or after June 7. 2007. Additional taxes/fees/restrictions apply.

With its summer schedule, Delta plans to offer Santo Domingo customers a total of 21 weekly flights – seven to New York-JFK, seven to Atlanta, and seven to Fort Lauderdale, complementing 28 other flights from U.S. gateways to Puerto Plata, Santiago and Punta Cana. Santo Domingo, the second-most populated city in the Antilles region, is located in the south of the country at the shores of the Caribbean Sea, and is the prime driver of the Dominican Republic’s growing popularity as a beachgoer’s paradise.

“Delta continues to be a leader in growth to Latin American and the Caribbean and we are pleased to add two more gateways for customers to reach two of our most popular destinations this summer,” said Bob Cortelyou, vice president – Network Planning. “Our new destinations from Fort Lauderdale and L.A. are the latest in a series of more than a dozen new Caribbean flights that Delta, along with Delta Connection, has announced, added or applied to serve in the last year.”

Meanwhile, with the addition of new flights between Los Angeles and Belize, Delta and Delta Connection carrier Atlantic Southeast Airlines will offer nine weekly flights from Belize City, with daily service to Atlanta (twice on Saturdays) and once weekly to Los Angeles. Belize is a favorite ecotourism destination known for its lush jungles and famous for having the second longest barrier reef in the world.
