Colombian airline Wingo has launched a new nonstop flight connecting Bogotá to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, with service set to operate twice a week during the holiday season. The flights will run on Mondays and Fridays, providing travelers with a direct route to popular beach destinations such as Playa Dorada, Sosúa, and Cabarete.
The flights link Bogotá’s El Dorado International Airport with Gregorio Luperón International Airport in Puerto Plata. Wingo has announced introductory round-trip fares starting at $300, inclusive of taxes and fees. This seasonal route is the only nonstop option between Colombia and Puerto Plata and will be available until January 25, 2027.
Wingo anticipates offering nearly 9,000 seats throughout the season, which encompasses popular travel times including Christmas and New Year’s, and extends into late January. The Monday and Friday schedule caters to travelers looking for either long weekend getaways or four-night midweek stays, based on availability.
Accommodations on the North Coast
For those visiting the north coast, Playa Dorada serves as a primary location for beachfront resorts. The area features all-inclusive accommodations and options like Casa Colonial Beach & Spa, a boutique hotel with a rooftop infinity pool right on the sand, as well as an 18-hole golf course for golf enthusiasts.
Sosúa and Cabarete are also viable lodging options, situated near the airport. These towns appeal to tourists who wish to engage in water sports or explore the coast further, allowing the flight to cater to a broader range of visitors.
The new flights also benefit residents of the north coast, who now have a direct way to travel to Bogotá. Passengers planning to book travel in late January should note that January 25 is the last day of service under the initial schedule and check return flight options when making hotel reservations.
