Flying from Harry Reid International
Harry Reid International sits a five-minute drive from the south end of the Las Vegas Strip — closer to its city centre than virtually any other major US airport. The terminals don't connect to rail; airport shuttles, taxis and rideshare handle the bulk of arriving traffic. Southwest is the largest carrier with its biggest non-base operation here, and Spirit, Frontier and Allegiant make Las Vegas one of the cheapest US fly-in destinations from anywhere in the country.
Arriving in Punta Cana
Punta Cana International serves the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic — built specifically as a resort gateway. Most arriving passengers transfer directly to all-inclusive resorts via private or resort-organised shuttles ($15–$30). The route from US East Coast and Midwest is heavy year-round; January–April are peak demand. The airport's open-air thatched-roof terminals are an architectural curiosity worth noting on first arrival.
