Punta Cana International Airport

The drive from Punta Cana International Airport to Bávaro takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on which end of Bávaro you are heading to and on traffic. Bávaro is the largest resort area near the airport. Punta Cana Village is closer, about 10 to 15 minutes, while Cap Cana is around 15 to 25 minutes away.

Uvero Alto is one of the farthest resort areas from Punta Cana International Airport, at roughly 40 to 60 minutes by road, or about 42 to 47 km. The route runs north past Bávaro and Macao. Because of the distance, many travelers staying in Uvero Alto use a pre-arranged transfer or their resort's shuttle rather than an airport taxi.

Punta Cana airport has two main passenger terminals, A and B, used by commercial flights. They stand about 100 meters apart and are linked by a walkway. The airport also has smaller terminals for VIP passengers, private aviation and domestic charter flights, but most travelers only ever see Terminal A or Terminal B.

It depends on your airline, and assignments have changed during the Terminal A renovation. In July 2026, airlines including Air Canada, WestJet, Air Transat, Avianca, Wingo, JetSMART and TUI Airways checked in at Terminal A, while JetBlue, Frontier, Aeroméxico, LATAM and Sky Airline used Terminal B. Confirm your terminal with your airline before travel.

Terminals A and B are about 100 meters apart and linked by a walkway, so most people simply walk between them. If you are connecting on separate tickets, you must clear immigration, collect your luggage, check in again at the other terminal and pass through security before your next flight.

Yes. Taxis wait outside arrivals at both terminals and charge fixed fares by destination zone rather than using meters. Confirm the fare for your hotel before getting in. Airport taxis tend to cost more than pre-booked transfers, and many drivers approach arriving passengers, so use the official taxi stand.

There is no train or airport express service. Local buses known as guaguas run in the area, and Expreso Bávaro buses connect the Punta Cana area with Santo Domingo, but schedules are limited and luggage space is tight. Most visitors use a taxi, a hotel or tour operator shuttle, or a pre-arranged transfer.

Yes. As of 2026, Uber can pick up passengers at Punta Cana International Airport, and airport trips include a surcharge in the fare. Travelers report occasional cancellations, and finding your driver on a busy curb can take time. Uber also lists regular airport taxis in its app, which charge higher fares.

Yes. Every traveler entering or leaving the Dominican Republic by air needs the e-Ticket, a free online form at eticket.migracion.gob.do. You can complete it as soon as you have your flight details, but it must be done before airline check-in. One form can cover up to seven travelers and generates a QR code.

Santo Domingo is about 200 km west of the Punta Cana area, reached mainly along the Autovía del Este highway. Expreso Bávaro buses make the trip in roughly three hours or more. If you are landing in Punta Cana and heading to the capital, a car or pre-arranged transfer is usually more practical than the bus with luggage.

La Romana is about 1 hour 15 minutes west of Punta Cana International Airport by road, and Bayahibe takes roughly 50 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, about 71 km. Both are reached via the Autovía del Este. Travelers staying in these areas often choose a private transfer, a resort shuttle or a rental car.

Punta Cana uses Atlantic Standard Time, UTC-4, all year, with no daylight saving time, so it matches US Eastern Daylight Time in summer. The currency is the Dominican peso (DOP), and currency exchange desks and ATMs are available inside both terminals. The weather is warm throughout the year.

Punta Cana International Airport is owned and operated by Grupo Puntacana and is privately owned, which is unusual for an international airport. It opened in December 1983 and handled more than 11 million passengers in 2025, making it the busiest airport in the Dominican Republic by passenger numbers.
