I paid 450 euros return jetairfly.be plus about 150 pounds for eurostar - total under 550 pounds. I could have got the eurostar cheaper or BA to Brussels. When I was researching prices this was good value. AF I think goes to Punta Cana. Air France was something like 900 pounds. Excess baggage over 25 kilos was charged at 15 Euros a kilo on my trip.

Eurostar has few delays.

i was never checked upon flying back to DR until my last trip to europe - i had to present residence card upon check-in.

macy, your possible route will depend on preferences: you want the cheapest? the fastest? most luggage? least plane changes? i flew to london with iberia, from SD via madrid. my family usually does that or air france, also from SD. air france has the biggest luggage allowance so it pays off if you travel less frequently. 2x25kg is the best you can ever get and is a real blessing. iberia tends to be a bit cheaper.

you could also fly via USA, you do not need a visa. or start in POP, fly airberlin to dusseldorf/munich and then london.
i personally prefer flying all the way with one airline: in case of delays they have an obligation to help you out with the next available flight.
