Hi there,
we are going to Punta Cana and I need to book a oneway flight from Punta Cana to Atlanta. But all direct flights are way to high.
I found a half price ticket if i book a flight with delta from Punta Cana to FLL with a layover in Atlanta (layover is about 8 hours).
My question is, if we get off in Atlanta, do we have to take our luggages thru customs at the airport, as its an international flight?
As I am from Europe, I know we have to get the luggages thru the customs before we can go further. But its the same from Dom.republic via Atlanta, if the connecting flight is to Florida?
If so, we could just take it and leave the airport in Atlanta and just dismiss the flight to FLL.
This would save me over 300 usd as we are 3 traveling.
Thanks a lot for your help.
M
