SAMANA EL PORTILLO AIRPORT (EPS)

Samana's El Portillo Airport is located between the two towns, Las Terrenas on the northern part of the Peninsula and Samana, on the southern side of the Peninsula, being approximately one hour from the town of Samana. There are reasonably priced scheduled direct flights into El Portillo Airport from Punta Cana International (PJU) and Santo Domingo International (SDQ). The flight takes approximately 40 minutes.

Airport pick up & return from these local airports is included in all  Economy, Semi, & All Inclusive packages. For more details, please visit:  www.tropicalislandbb.com/DirectFlights.htm

For details, please visit:  www.tropicalislandbb.com/DirectFlights.htm

This is a new airport and to date only a small number of airlines are serving it. These include flights from  Toronto, Canada and different places in Europe, such as Condor and LTU International Airways ( www.itu.com/world & www.condor.com ) German airline, Condor, have scheduled El Catey, Samana (airport code AZS) for  flights from Frankfurt International Airport (FRA).  These airlines fly into El Catey twice a week, with departures from Frankfurt on Wednesday and Sunday and return flights on Monday and Thursday. 

From the United States, American Eagle also has a direct flights between Samana' and Puerto Rico and flights run daily.  American Airlines also has an inexpensive flight direct to Samana' International from Puerto Rico (see:  American Airlines Net SAAver: www.aa.com)

This is excellent for travellers coming into the Dominican Republic through New York or Miami or other places that fly into Puerto Rico as they can be routed through Puerto Rico directly into Samana' to El Catey International.   It is expected that even more airlines will be flying into Samana' or El Catey International  in the not so distance future.

 

SANTIAGO  INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (STI)
 (Best airport to fly in to if unable to fly into Samana' Airport (AZS & EPS))

This is the best international airport to fly into for airport pick up and return (if not flying into nearer Samana airports).  Scenic ride through the interior part of the country.

 

SANTO DOMINGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (SDQ)

 There are reasonably priced scheduled direct flights into Samana El Portillo Airport (EPS)
from Santo Domingo International, which take an average of 40 minutes. 
For details, please visit:  www.tropicalislandbb.com/DirectFlights.htm

This is the least preferable airport to arrive through, if you would like airport pick up & return,  as it involves driving through the city of Santo Domingo, and the trip is much longer due to rough roads and detours.  However, airport pickup and return can be arranged regardless, but at an additional charge of $100 round trip. Taking a direct flight to Samana El Portillo Airport from Santo Domingo Airport takes only 40 minutes and is only slightly more than paying the extra for airport pick up from Santo Domingo

 

PUNTA CANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (PUJ)

There is no airport pick up from Punta Cana, however,
there are reasonably priced scheduled direct flights into Samana El Portillo Airport (EPS)
from Punta Cana International, which take an average of only 40 minutes. 
For details, please visit:  www.tropicalislandbb.com/DirectFlights.htm 

This airport is located in the far east of the country near the eastern coast of the mainland and is quite far from Samana', Jarabacoa, Puerto Plata, and other locations. Since it takes between 10 and 12 hours to go from this airport to Samana', making the cost prohibitive, as well as the traveling time unreasonable, we do not offer airport pick up and return service from this airport.   If you are able to obtain a  very low fare flying into Punta Cana, then it would be well worth it to take the shuttle or  direct flight  to Samana from Punta Cana Airport.

 

PUERTO PLATA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (POP)
 Charter shuttle flights available, twice a week,  to Samana airports 
See:  www.tropicalislandbb.com/DirectFlights.htm

For those requesting  airport pick up from  Puerto Plata airport,  it is a  3-1/2 to 4-hour very scenic ride along the northeastern coast of the country, traveling most of the way along the sea to Samana.  (Airport pick up from Puerto Plata airport is an additional $100 US on to total of Economy, Semi, & All Inclusive packages. Some brothers prefer to charter a plane into one of the Samana airports. Taking a direct flight to Samana El Portillo Airport or Samana El Catey Airport  takes only 40 minutes and is only slightly more than paying the extra for airport pick up from Puerto Plata.  However, daily shuttle flights to Samana are available from Santo Domingo International (SDQ)
