Punta Cana Airport: Terminal A and Terminal B

Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is famous for its open-air, palm-roof buildings. It has two main terminals, Terminal A and Terminal B, about 100 meters apart and connected by a short walkway. Both are open 24 hours.

Terminal A

Terminal A handles a large share of flights, including many carriers from Canada, Europe and Latin America, plus several U.S. airlines such as JetBlue, United, Southwest, Spirit and Sun Country.

Terminal B

Terminal B is commonly used by airlines such as American Airlines, Delta, Copa, Avianca, Frontier, Air France and British Airways.

Tip: Airlines sometimes change terminals. You don’t need to worry about it, though. When you book, just give us your flight number. We track your flight live and send your driver to the right terminal.

Step by step: what happens when you land

1. Complete your E-Ticket before you fly. The Dominican Republic requires a free online E-Ticket (immigration and customs form) for every traveler. Fill it out on the official government site before departure and save the QR code on your phone.
2. Immigration. Follow the signs to immigration and show your passport and E-Ticket QR code. Lines are usually short.
3. Baggage claim and customs. Collect your suitcases, then pass through customs. Your bags may be scanned on the way out.
4. Turn your phone on. Connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp to let us know you’ve landed. Your driver is already on the way to the exit.

How to find your driver with your name on the sign

This is the most important part, so take a moment to read it before you fly.

1. Walk past the desks inside the arrivals hall. After customs you’ll pass booths and people offering taxis, tours and “free” transportation. Smile, say “No, gracias, I have a driver” and keep walking. Your Saona Island Tours driver will never approach you inside this area.
2. Exit the terminal building. Go through the exit doors to the outdoor arrivals area, where private drivers wait for their guests.
3. Look for your name. Your driver will be holding a sign with your name (the lead traveler’s name on the booking) and the Saona Island Tours name.
4. Confirm before you go. Ask the driver to confirm your name and hotel. Only follow the driver holding your sign.
5. Can’t see your driver? Don’t leave with anyone else. Message us on WhatsApp, and we’ll connect you with your driver right away and guide you to the meeting point.

That’s it. Your bags go in the trunk, the A/C is on, and you’re on your way to the beach.

Tips for a smooth arrival

• Book at least 6 hours before you land so we can assign your driver.
• Add your flight number to your booking. We track delays, so you don’t pay for waiting time if your flight is late.
• Tell us your exact number of passengers and suitcases so we send the right vehicle, from sedans to SUVs and vans for big groups.
• Save our WhatsApp number before you fly. Airport Wi-Fi is free.
• Book a round trip and your return ride to the airport is taken care of too.
