Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) is the airport for Puerto Plata and the Dominican Republic's north coast, also known as the Amber Coast.

Most flights come from Canada, the United States and Europe: Air Canada, Air Transat and WestJet fly from Toronto and Montreal, American Airlines from Miami, JetBlue from New York JFK, United from Newark and Delta from Atlanta, with Copa linking Panama City and Condor and Edelweiss flying from Frankfurt and Zurich. The airport handled about 848,000 passengers in 2024.

Everything happens in one terminal with check-in, immigration, baggage claim and customs, plus 10 gates split between a front concourse and a satellite concourse.

The airport sits on the coast between Puerto Plata and Sosúa. Sosúa is the closest town, about 7 km and 10 to 15 minutes away. Cabarete, the north coast's kitesurfing hub, is about 20 km east, around 25 to 30 minutes by car. To the west, downtown Puerto Plata is about 18 km away and the all-inclusive resorts of Playa Dorada are usually 20 to 30 minutes from the terminal, with Costambar and Cofresí beyond the city.

Consejos de llegada a Gregorio Luperón International Airport

Before you fly, complete the Dominican Republic's free eTicket at the official portal eticket.migracion.gob.do and keep the QR code it gives you; it covers both immigration and customs.

After landing, follow the signs to immigration, where officers check your passport and eTicket. Then collect your bags in the baggage hall, where free baggage carts are available, and pass through customs. Representatives and drivers cannot enter these areas.

Once through customs you walk out to the transportation area in front of the terminal, where the official taxi stand, the car rental counters and pre-booked drivers with name signs are waiting. A tourist help desk is at the entrance to the arrivals area if you need directions. Use the official taxi stand or your booked driver rather than anyone offering rides inside the terminal, and agree any taxi fare before your luggage is loaded.
