Spirit airlines http://www.spirit.com.

I have almost always used them from Detroit to go to the DR and they are usually cheaper than other airlines, especially in the spring time and fall (R/T for $360 in late August).

Also you can buy a Tourist Card (if you are not a DR Citizen) online and have it in hand rather than wait in line at the terminal...

~ Jan ??,2013 ~ Service Center ~ Vermont I-129F Packet sent

NOTE: Actual sent date unknown due to lawyer negligence - I delivered ALLForms and PAID Lawyer on Nov 7, 2012 - Lawyer kept saying he sent the packet and USCIS must have lost it. When in reality he failed to send the package and only a new copy to USCIS after I made a legal written demand giving him 10 days to perform or return ALL monies paid to him, due to "non-performance".

(IMO it's better to save your money for visits to or from your Fiancé and just fill it out yourself using the K-1 Guide on VJ and Senior Members... They Rock!!!)

google has info on flights go to google.com/flights you put in the useual things and then it will show you the various prices starting wiht the cheapest - but this is only for the major airlines.

But on the bottom right hand side there is a little bar graph icon - click on that and it will show you the cheapest price it has for each day and you can scroll across the month - be aware that something as small and extending the trip by a day or 2 can change the price up or down so going from a 7 day to a 8 day trip might save money

I usually find a Friday afternoon flight so my trip is 15 days rather than 14 days

Good Luck

Have fun

You created a 4 year old zombie thread ..

Saying that ... The most cost effective way to get from Detroit to the DR is always delta.
