Tips after arrival at the Santo Domingo Airport

Before leaving the plane, do not forget to collect all your belongings.

If you dispatched luggage, the first thing you should do is go to the baggage collection sector
of Las Américas Airport (SDQ).

Then (if necessary) make migrations placing yourself in the corresponding row according
to your nationality, and show your passport, and Visa (if applicable). In some countries, they
might ask you where you will be staying, to show you the return ticket, etc. Check this
information with the corresponding embassy before traveling.

Once you arrive in the public area, check the available means of transport or look at the
signs with names that some people support (if you hired a private service and they are
waiting for you.

If instead, you plan to rent a car, review the information on Car Rental at Las Américas
Airport (SDQ) and eventually make a reservation in advance.

If you forgot your hand luggage on the plane or your checked bag (dispatched) has never
appeared or suffered damage, I follow the Luggage instructions.

Check the VIP lounges and Services (if any) offered by the airport in case you have to wait
for a connecting flight.
 If you are a passenger with reduced mobility or with a disability, coordinate your trip at
least 48 hours before with your airline and check the facilities for Special Passengers
