Be prepared for the rampers to try to screw you on the fuel there. They wanted us to pay in cash to fuel a 727. After about 3 hrs of explaining that we dont carry that kind of cash ...they got the idea.
The ability to file via www.fltplan.com only extends to the Bahamas now. I assume its because that most of the Bahamas is covered by ZMA at 7000' and above and the FAA flight format can be accepted. Fltplan.com does not support an ICAO format. As mentioned above you can do straight line international flight planning on fltplan.com to many int'l airports on their Quick Info feature.

It's a pretty sobering place, and I hear that the DR is utopia in comparison to Haiti.
