All ISV group flights to the Dominican Republic will originate from Miami, FL (MIA). Due to the location of our projects, ISV flies into Santiago (STI) and Puerto Plata (POP), Dominican Republic.  Specific flights are determined once projects are assigned approx. 30 days prior to departure.

If you are taking the Spanish Lessons option, ISV flies into Santiago (STI) and out of either Puerto Plata (POP) or Santo Domingo (SDQ). All Spanish Lesson participants will be departing on Sunday, five days prior to the start of the Standard Program. 

All ISV Group Flight participants will need to arrange their own domestic flights to and from Miami (MIA), Florida.

Estimate of taxes = $130.00 USD  (As of December 2007)

Please note: An ISV “Group Flight” consists of 10 or more passengers.  In the unlikely event ISV is unable to meet this minimum requirement on any given date; those affected by this will be notified via email approximately 60 days prior to departure.  At this time a competitive “Individual Fare” will be quoted.  Any deposit collected for the “Group Flight” will be applied to the “Individual Fare” if accepted. ISV participants will have 10 days to accept the “Individual Fare” or notify ISV of their choice to change to Own Flight status.  Own Flight requirements are listed below.
