Work backward from your airline’s instructions

Open the latest version of your booking and confirm the date, operating carrier, flight number and departure time. Check whether the journey has a connection and whether any schedule change affects your plans. Ask your airline how early to arrive at PUJ and when check-in, baggage acceptance and boarding close.

Then agree a hotel pickup time that allows for the road journey and your required airport arrival time. The scheduled flight departure is not a suitable target for reaching the terminal. Avoid choosing a pickup time from someone else’s trip: their resort, airline and travel day may be different.

Separate checkout from airport pickup

Ask the hotel about checkout and any luggage-storage arrangements you may need. If pickup is later, keep passports, medication, valuables and travel paperwork with you rather than packed away in stored bags. Confirm exactly which lobby or reception your driver should use.

The evening before departure, check that your transport confirmation has the right hotel, passenger count and luggage requirements. Tell the provider about a changed flight promptly and ask for confirmation of any revised pickup. Do not assume an airline change automatically updates a separate ground-transport booking.

Complete the departure formalities

The Dominican Republic requires the free electronic entry and exit form for passengers traveling on commercial flights. Review your departure information and use the official government service. Keep the relevant confirmation available with your travel documents. Official Dominican Republic travel requirements

At PUJ, follow the terminal information provided for your flight and the current airport signs. The airport’s official website identifies Terminals A and B, but that does not make an old terminal assignment reliable for your own departure. Official PUJ airport information

Plan the Canadian side as carefully

Send whoever is meeting you the flight number and date, then agree how you will contact them after landing. Pearson’s official wait-time dashboard includes arrival status, terminal and carousel information, which can help with practical coordination. Landing time should not be treated as the moment you will be ready at the curb. Pearson airport dashboard

If you have another flight, check the connection instructions on your booking and confirm any baggage requirements with the carrier. Keep the onward itinerary accessible throughout the journey.

To arrange the resort-to-airport portion, visit Punta Cana Transfer Pro’s booking page and review the pickup details in your confirmation.

See you again in Punta Cana. We never say goodbye.
