Depends. A330s are acceptable. B787s are one of the best in Americas. The rest are not so worthy. that said, I noticed something weird recently. They streamlined their classes to xs s m l xl and xxl some time ago and xl xxl are international biz class. But for some reason, my upcoming jfk-bog and big-gig are both only up to L on A320s. I did buy L class. And I could choose the two front rows , which are 2-2 instead of 3-3. I chose 2K in both cases. Did they deleted biz completely from their inventory on narrow bodies? Try on Avianca website.

I think it would still be easier and it would be guaranteed. More importantly, my great regret and frustration of my previous trip in SD was not be able to try local hungs. I had Venezuelans, Colombians, and something else I forgot. For very long time I actually decided not to visit SD again as my impression on the Dominicans was very much stereotypes of ‘affluent fatties’, typically local clients of Bluemall, which is adjacent to Intercon. Then here in the forum I was inspired by several members regularly visiting SD and they all seem to recommend Manny’s service. Personally after all this, I think I’ll skip it. Or at least skip him. I’m against arbitrary pricing and he didn’t strike me as neither willing nor helpful. Just my impression.

It was all Grindr. I didn’t pay them but I did bring them to coffees and meals. Intercontinental was cool with it. I booked for two persons and they always allowed my guests to access the room and the club lounge. I’m fluent in Spanish and I did feel very safe with the guys I met. Gut feeling I guess.

I have. But I didn’t use any middlemen at that time. I was not aware of them. I think I posted it somewhere here already. I was staying in the wrong area, intercontinental to be precise, where locals were mostly affluent fatties. I went twice to the historical center without finding anyone. I think I’m quite handicapped in noticing or cruising guys in public places. That’s why I’m very interested in Manny’s service. All that said, I had a gorgeous Venezuelan hung that I met online staying with me most of the nights so maybe I was not desperate enough to venture too much either.

Got it. Thx. So it’s established that Manny did raise his rate significantly and what I was quoted reflects his new rate.

Did you pay more the first time? Or it’s a newly adopted practice?

Completely agreed. In that case, it’s worth communicating this differentiated pricing to all fellow members here so the first time customers won’t have the illusion over the ‘cheap’ regulars rate and won’t feel scammed when they don’t get it. It’s all about getting the info right.

Guys guys, please! Let’s not point fingers at each other. Scammer or not, overcharging or not, these are subjective judgments. On the contrary, exercised pricing and its consistency, those are objective matters. We are all mature enough to know what’s the best for ourselves.

Any contacts of Narciszo’s? Can one just show up like that?

Thank you. I’m sure his writing has its merits. I just never had the patience to read it through. I’m looking for other kind of information here.

Am I mistaken? I always thought the meaning of this forum is to share information and experiences. I respect people who want to keep certain things to themselves but I appreciate much more those who share hardcore info. No offense but I tend to skip philosophical discussion and psychological analysis here. They get me bored to death. It’s just me. Any contribution should be welcomed.

I wonder who’s ‘philosophy’ is better serving the purpose of this forum!

Thx for the clarification. Seems he’s not much an ‘honest businessman’ after all. Lol. Just kidding. Possible to share the range you paid and the reasons behind? Many thx.

Let’s stay focused. Please!

Just for the record, I started this topic merely to update Manny’s fees. I don’t think he’s a scammer nor he’s overcharging. If he’s charging much more than before, maybe it’s just business being good or/and inflation. So instead of dissing or defending him, anyone please just confirm his new fee structures so our fellow travelers can have reliable and up-to-date information?

Anyone else can confirm this new pricing from Manny? Or it’s just random discrimination… lol

Absolutely

Why should we care? We didn’t do anything wrong. And we have enough fierce Manny-defenders here.

I did mention where I read about his service and got his contacts. Anyway, it’s no biggy. Again, good for him.

Thx for the suggestion. I think it’s what I’ll end up doing anyway.

Lol. That’s uncalled for. I happen to speak Spanish.

I’m sorry, but Riobard, why are you fighting against this?! It was merely to share a piece of information that I got. If you would like to defend him that much, why don’t you share what he charged you exactly? This forum it’s all about sharing, right?

Maybe I should get initiated for Brazil… Any newbie suggestions? I’ve been reading a lot about this wonderland, but still feel lost. It’s like a huge delicious hamburger and I’m having trouble locating the first bite…

I’m actually interested in how the trip went. Would you be kind enough to give some info?

Thank you Riobard for your in depth client - procurer - provider dynamic analysis. I merely want to update Manny’s fees as many fellow members here do count on his service while traveling to SD.
