This is typically when San Juan to Punta Cana fares hit their lowest point. Airlines have a clear picture of demand but seats are still widely available. Set your price alert now to catch the dip.
For summer travel and major holidays, booking 3–6 months early locks in reasonable rates before demand spikes. Don't wait for the "perfect" price — set a target and track it.
