“Punta Cana — Travel with Avelo! As the only airline offering non-stop flights to the Dominican Republic from Connecticut and North Carolina’s Research Triangle, we hope to make Punta Cana’s famous beaches, as well as its vibrant energy and relaxed charm, more accessible than ever for our travelers.
