    100% up for this! But like Tommy, many questions to ask. Spent all morning trying to book 'fake flights'. Seems only way u can get there direct (ish) is with Air France via CDG. British Airways it's via JFK over 2days. Unless I'm being a dork (which is probable).

    There is a direct flight from Gatwick flight no: BA2205 return BA2204.  Price is £600+though so for 2 the £800 is not going to cover it.

    I went direct on Thompson and got a very good deal. Think it was £400 round trip.

    Yes thanks, just realised the problem wasn't getting from London To The Dominican..... It was getting from Newcastle to London ffs!!! U couldn't make it up. No BA flights to LGW. No seats on a Tues' morning LHR bound flight til the back end of November. That's why it was sending me to CDG. So = DORK

    Hopefully Tikay will be able to give some info on this Q&A thread about it but from what I can see, the £800 credited to your account isnt even close to covering the cost of the flights for 2 people.

    Think I (and most people) would rather just reduce some of the $1500 hotel credits and have my flights paid for.

    +1 (even though I doubt very much I'd even be in contention lol) - especially as hotel is all inclusive?  so what would you spend the $1500 on???

    The Hotel line on the promotion page says 7 nights for 2 people so I'm assuming that Sky are expecting the winner(s) to take their partner/or AN Other

    " 7 nights in Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punter* Cana for 2 people (4-11th November)"

    I assume if the hotel is for two, then they're letting you bring someone along... or they assume you're promiscuous

    *can't type the correct spelling of the place name on the forum lol

    Yeah, Sky are putting their hand in their pocket for the hotel stay, but it's up to you to get the girlfriend to Pinyata Cana out of your 4nl profits, mate ;)
