Had a ride into Punta Cana in the Dom' Rep once, the best terminal building ever, open sided with a coconut thatched roof and gorgeous dusky "birds" playing the merengue!
No approach aids, ala tropicana, with a conventional downwind join and circuit to land in a 763- looked a mighty small strip on finals I can tell you, and didn't realise the American controllers actually say " reading you 5 by 5"!!!
Best start to holiday I can think of, shame it's stopped for actions that seem so un-real/ unthinkable.........
And the airline- Britannia, friendly aren't they!
