All flights should arrive and depart from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ Airport). Please DO NOT book your airfare until your travel advisor has emailed you your room confirmation.

*Airfare on value air carriers (Southwest, Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue, etc.) must be booked on your own since Shoreline Destinations is unable to package it on. However, airfare with any other major carriers can be added to your reservation if needed or can be booked independently. If airfare is purchased through Shoreline Destinations, you must pay for airfare in full and also purchase travel insurance.
