Sounds very exciting stuff! 😀

An excellent report though, I have to say. I remember that in 1999, I flew with Monarch Airlines on an A300 from Puerto Plata (POP – Dom Rep) to London Gatwick. The flight operated via the country’s captial city (Santo Domingo) and it took about 20-25 minutes in the air to get there.

After touching down, the A300 taxiied to the terminal building and those that were already on the aircraft were forced to wait on board with not very much to do. We sat there for at least 90 minutes before taking the skies.
