Arajet announces new Dominican flights to Florida, here's where, its low-fare deal
Heading to the Dominican Republic for a summer getaway? Discount Dominican airline Arajet is adding a new direct route from Miami to Punta Cana to its existing flights to Santo Domingo, starting in June. And in October, Arajet is launching a new nonstop flight three times a week from the Orlando area to Punta Cana with introductory fares starting under $140, according to a release. 'Launching service in Orlando marks another important milestone for Arajet as we continue our rapid growth across the United States,' said Víctor Pacheco Méndez, CEO and founder of Arajet. 'Florida is a cornerstone of our expansion strategy, and Orlando is the perfect place to strengthen our U.S. footprint as one of the most visited cities in the world and home to a vibrant Dominican and Latin community. "After seeing record-breaking sales and sold-out flights in Miami, expanding to Orlando is a natural next step as we grow our U.S. network and fulfill our mission of making Caribbean travel more accessible,' he said. On June 4, Arajet will expand its current South Florida service from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Santa Domingo Airport (SDQ) with a new nonstop route to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Tickets for the new route, from the Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB), are on sale now at Introductory fares are $138 per person from SFB to Punta Cana and the promo code #HOLAORLANDO gets you up to 30% off the base ticket price, not counting taxes and fees. The offer is good for one person per booking. The route begins Oct. 26, 2025, and will be available on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, the airline said. Arajet is the largest airline in the Dominican Republic. Started in 2014 as the charter flight airline Dominican Wings, it rebranded to Arajet and began offering low-cost flights in September 2022. Arajet now flies to 18 countries in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean out of two bases in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana7. Miami was the first U.S. Destination added, and by November there will be six more: Orlando, Boston, Chicag MAX aio3, New York, Newark and San Juan. The airline uses Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

Oh, Canada: Toronto man pleads guilty after wild airport assault on TSA agents in Miami was caught on video
A Canadian man's layover in Florida turned into a federal case after he attacked two Transportation Security Administration officers at Miami International Airport in a chaotic outburst caught on video. Cameron Dylan McDougall, 28, of Toronto, pleaded guilty in federal court earlier this month to two counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers, according to court records. The charges stem from a December 2024 incident that left travelers stunned and security personnel Man 'Mad' At Trump Arrested, Accused Of Assaulting Fellow Passenger On Flight To Dc The trouble began Dec. 27, when McDougall allegedly struck a fellow passenger aboard a Copa Airlines flight traveling from Panama City to Toronto. According to reporting from Local 10 News, the midair altercation prompted the pilot to divert the flight to Miami, where McDougall was removed from the plane but not arrested. Instead, he was told he could book another flight back to Canada. McDougall purchased a ticket on Air Canada for the following day.

Couple Arrested After Allegedly Throwing Coffee At Airline Employees, Forcing Way Onto Cancun Flight Authorities said McDougall had already cleared the TSA checkpoint when, without provocation, he randomly struck another passenger around 6:37 a.m., according to court documents cited by WPLG Local 10. A security guard who attempted to intervene was also assaulted. Two minutes later, McDougall returned to the screening area and targeted a TSA supervisor, swinging wildly. Though the supervisor dodged the punches, another officer who tried to restrain McDougall was hit in the face at least three times, sustaining minor injuries. The entire encounter was recorded on airport surveillance and released to the public this week. The footage shows McDougall throwing punches, getting flipped over a screening bin cart and continuing to resist as agents struggled to restrain him. He was subdued and arrested by officers with the Miami-Dade Police Department. McDougall pleaded guilty May 19 and is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court May 30.

Wild video shows Canadian man attacking TSA agents at Miami airport
Video has emerged of the Toronto man who went on a tear at a Florida airport, attacking officials before police arrived. Cameron Dylan McDougall, 28, can be seen approaching the security screening area at Miami International Airport on Dec. 28, 2024, when the fists started flying in the unprovoked rampage, according to footage obtained by WPLG. The area was packed with travellers due to the holiday season but that didn't stop the Toronto man from trying to serve up some knuckle sandwiches to two TSA agents. McDougall can be seen missing an agent, who avoided the attack as the Canadian ignored orders to step back. The man then honed in on another agent, who defended himself against McDougall's flurry of punches. McDougall then gets pushed by an agent, causing the feisty flier to fall over a screening bin cart behind him and land on his back. An agent grabs at McDougall's legs but his arms are left free as his assault continues. McDougall was only in South Florida due to his actions on a Dec. 27 Copa Airlines flight between Panama and Canada, court documents state, according to the outlet. Authorities said the Toronto man 'physically struck another passenger,' forcing the pilot to divert to Miami. McDougall was removed from the flight ― but not arrested ― and was told he could book a separate flight to Toronto on another airline, the outlet reported. He bought a ticket for an Air Canada flight from Miami to Toronto the next day. McDougall cleared security and then, 'without warning,' randomly hit another passenger, the court documents stated. Prosecutors said he struck an airport security guard who tried to intervene, and then went back to the screening area where he launched the attack on the TSA officials. He was arrested by Miami-Dade Police officers. McDougall pleaded guilty to two federal charges for assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, the outlet reported.

His sentencing hearing is set for May 30. McDougall still faces state charges for felony battery on a law enforcement officer and one misdemeanour battery charge, according to court records. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 2 for those charges.
