Editorial snapshot
Routes from the US East Coast are frequent and competitive, making last-minute deals possible outside peak winter months. The sweet spot for booking is six to ten weeks out from travel in spring or autumn. All-inclusive packages dominate the resort corridor, which suits first-timers but can feel limiting for independent travellers. BNPL works best for US and Canadian bookers, where provider coverage is strongest.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
January and February are the Dominican Republic's most expensive months to fly, driven by North American winter escapees filling Punta Cana's resorts. The best fares land in May, September, and October, when hurricane-season caution keeps demand low but weather is often perfectly fine.

|---|---|---|---|
| January | Peak | High | Peak winter escape season; book 10+ weeks ahead. |
| February | Peak | High | Valentine's and school half-term push fares higher. |
| March | Mid | High | Spring break crowds arrive; prices ease slightly mid-month. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Easter week spikes; shoulder prices either side. |
| May | Budget | Low | Quiet month; good deals before summer school holidays. |
| June | Mid | Medium | Hurricane season begins; families travel before peak summer. |
| July | Mid | High | Summer holidays drive demand; book 6-8 weeks out. |
| August | Mid | High | Busy but fares softer than July; watch for storms. |
| September | Budget | Low | Cheapest month; hurricane risk highest, resorts less crowded. |
| October | Budget | Low | Still quiet; great value for flexible travellers. |
| November | Mid | Medium | Hurricane season ends; demand builds toward December. |
| December | Peak | High | Christmas and New Year push fares to annual highs. |
