One of the most common questions we get from travelers visiting Punta Cana is how long lines at Punta Cana airport during the high season are.

The truth is lines can be 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on season and day of the week.

High season starts when the northern hemisphere starts to get cold (November) and ends just after spring break, along with high occupancy of resorts and long lines at the airport.

There’s good news to solve the long lines at Punta Cana airport: you can buy VIP Fast Track; a service rarely offered in larger airports around the world but that is very popular especially after COVID.

In addition to high season, if you add the most popular days to travel it can really get busy.

Longer lines at Punta Cana airport are seen also between Fridays and Sundays, which are the days that most passengers decide to fly in and out of Punta Cana Airport.

So, the two recommendations we can give you to avoid starting your vacation off in long lunes at the Punta Cana Airport is: book fast track and have a transfer ready outside when you do customs.
