What is it like to fly with Arajet?

Today I am going to tell you cówhat it's like to fly with the airplaneílow cost line Arajet to and from your base in Santo Domingo on RepúDominican War.

I was able to fly with the más new aerolíborn Dominican, on two of its routes that connect to and from Santo Domingo, the hub that isá aerolílittle by little it is creating and seeks to consolidate in a short time.

After starting operations in Ecuador last november, I was finally able to fly with this aerolílow-cost line that currently operates twice a week in Quito and Guayaquil triangulating with the Am Airportérich, así I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about the experience flying with Arajet..

¿Cówhat it's like to fly with the airplaneínea Arajet?

First of all, let's talk about what I didn't do.é a single flight, but rather they were two different routes in which I was able to experience first-handómy thing is to fly with Arajet, the first flying from Quito and the second flying from Santo Domingo hacia Sint Maarten.

Based on this experience I am going to share information with you.ón úuseful for your flight on this airlineínea, más details that you should know first-hand if it is your first time flying under the model low cost.

To start this guía / Flight Report We are going to start with the first leg of the flight between Quito to Santo Domingo with a stopover in Guayaquil, which has a very special surprise, así you should see it in full:

To start with all the informationón what prepareé for you, let's talk about check-in with Arajet. This aerosolínea offers two options: online or at the airport. Thoseí, Please note that check-in at the airport will haveá a cost if your rate does not include that service, so it is important that you do it previously from 48 hours before the flight.

• Pro tip: If the online check-in gives you an error and does not allow you to advance in the process after entering your cóI say reserve, take a screenshot and lléOk, it's on your cell phone as a backup showing the error, así I won't charge youán the additional value for check-in at the airport.

Now we are going to talk about something very important and that we must take into account so as not to have setbacks. íbudgetary nature. We must understand that Arajet it's an aerosolílow cost line andógically, on rate más económica does not include major benefits más that an artípersonal ass up 6 kilos.

In this same áscope, We must now indicate that if you purchased the m rateás low call «promo o Smart» This does not include a carry-on bag and neither suitcase in hold, if you want to travel with these artírotten assesás do it by purchasing the Comfort or Extra rate, but alsoécan'tás purchase it separately with these prices:

• hand luggage from $39.99.
• First baggage in hold from $24.99.
• Second checked baggage from $44.99.
• Third baggage in hold from $79.99.

¿Whyé I say since? Take into account that these values ​​are the ones you pay when you buy your ticket, so if you do it later when you check-in, by call or at the airport, all these prices will increaseán. Example: the first suitcase goes to costa $70 if you do it at the airport. Take into account that each piece of luggage is 20 kilos and the hand until 12 kilos.

Please note that there are sizesños and pesos máwe are allowed to hand luggage and hold, so you must be clear about it so as not to have setbacks at the airport with additional charges.

Once we pass filters we go to the departure lounge, where we will wait for the boarding to begin, that in the particular case of Arajet It is done in no specific order.ífico, sino máAll travelers are invited to board when they are ready to do so..

At this point comes another peculiarity of flying with an airplane.ínea low cost, themselvesún the airport you are at mayíYou can have up to three different types of boarding and in my case I experiencedé the three: sleeve approach, by bus or even walking.

I was able to experience all three boarding processes (Quito in sleeve, Santo Domingo by bus and walking in Sint Maarten), así Keep this in mind so you don't get a surprise.. Personally, doing it by bus or on foot seems like a great experience to be able to admire planes and take several photos of the airport..

Before moving forward and talking about the service on board, I invite you to see the Flight Report from Santo Domingo to Sint Maarten, the obligatory destination for aviation loversón:

As you have seen in the different flight reports, the airínea does not offer included in any rate the free food service that an airlineítraditional line will be able toíto carry out, but calm, you won't dieás of hunger. Arajet on its flights has a menuú of food for payment called Comida pa´ chop, in which from $2 dólares onwards findás café, té, snacks hasta sándwiches.

Pro tip 2: ask the cabin crew if your flight is the úlast towards Santo Domingo, since if soí, the combo of sándwich and drink beá aún más cheated.

Continuing with our informative report, It is key to tell them hereí about onboard entertainment. At the time of this flight, the airínea does not have individual screens or WiFi for streaming or browsing, but yesí It has USB ports and plugs to keep your device charged and you canú same carry your previously downloaded content. Don't forget to bring audíphones or activate the subsítitles so as not to bother othersás.

Aerol's growth plansíthey are getting to know each other little by little, where they seek to convert the Las Am Airport into a hubérica, allowing to increase the demand on their flights than in the case of Ecuador and Sint Maarten average the 70%, but you will definitely goá growing when más connection optionsón are activated for these destinations.
