This guide covers the essentials when landing at Las Américas International Airport (SDQ), in Santo Domingo.
After landing
After immigration and baggage claim, the exit to ground transportation is clearly signed. If you booked private transportation, your driver usually waits with a name sign in the arrivals area.
Transportation options from SDQ
Airport taxi (fare negotiated on the spot), shared shuttle (cheaper, more stops), and pre-booked private transportation (fixed price, no waiting).
Practical tips
- Keep your hotel name/destination address handy.
- If your flight is delayed, notify your transportation with the flight number.
- Exchange only what you need at the airport; exchange houses in tourist areas often offer better rates.
