Flight frequency and pricing are inevitably affected by the seasonal variations in the Dominican Republic. High travelling season begins from December when tourists’ influx is increased due to Christmas, New Year and the country continue to see a high influx of tourists till Easter. If you are looking for the best months to fly to the Dominican Republic, you can consider the time right after high season ends, i.e. May to November. As the demand declines, flight prices and hotels reduce prices to make the most of the low season. You can still find a sweet spot in November with pleasant weather without paying high prices.

Ticket prices and accommodation costs drop significantly during the country’s low-season, which starts from September and remains till the end days of October. The weather is characterized by torrential rain and dampness. This period is also known as the hurricane season.
