   I am informed that La Reforma has a $1,300 landing fee
   for a King Air C-90. Does anyone know of a more reasonable
   fee for a nearby airport?

           Who told you that? Really? Have things changed?
   I have (only) a Cessna 172. I have landed in Puerto Plata
   (accident!!), La Romana, Santo Domingo (MDLR, Las Americas?)
   and Herera. The last one was not so good, it was NOT an airport
   of entry, and I had some problems.
   That was some time ago. My last trip to DR was in Summer 1992
   I don’t recall unusual landing fee, could buy fuel and park the
   plane for 3 days. I found a couple rocks to put under the wheels
   since there were no tie-down facilities.
           I don’t recall the name "La Reforma"). If you mean
   La Romana in the eastern part of the island, it is a Port of
   Entry, and I had no problems there around 1990 when I spent
   a summer in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
           But things change. Have a good trip and a pleasant
   stay!

   That’s in Dominican Currency.  In US $’s is very low, don’t have the exchange
   rate.

   As of last month it was 12 or 13 to the dollar, so it appears the fee
   is about $130.00 dollars.

   I flew into Puerto Plata about 3 weeks ago in a Piper Saratoga.  We didn’t
   pay any landing fee at all.  Though, there always seems to be a few small
   fees here and there for things I’m not too clear on; none costing more than
   about $15 US.

   The exchange rate was about $13 DR pesoes for $1 US.

   I loved it and intend to fly back some day.
