Punta Cana has two terminals about 100 metres apart along a walkway, both open 24 hours. It is not a typical connecting airport: on a single ticket the transfer is simple and bags are not rechecked.

On separate tickets you go through immigration (lines rarely over 30 minutes), collect your bags, check in again and go back through security.

  • The tourist card fee is included in airline ticket prices: there is nothing to pay on arrival.

Estimate based on typical times at this airport, not your airline's official minimum connection time. Immigration and security lines change with the time of day and season. On a single ticket, the airline must rebook you if you miss the connection; on separate tickets, it does not.
