If you want to fly there are probably flights from PR to Santo Domingo,
DR and then you can fly from Santo Domingo to Port au Prince on
Caribintair or Tropical Air.  These fly NOT from the large international
airport on the eastern side of Santo Domingo but from the smaller
Herrera airport.  (General Aviation)  The price was about $200 (US)  two
years ago for that flight.

There are also ferry boats that carry passengers daily from Puerto Rico
to the DR.

You also could then take a bus from Santo Domingo to Port au Prince
instead of flying.  It is cheaper by far,  There are two bus companies
that operate the route---Caribe Tours and Terrabus.  the buses are nice,
air conditioned and it is about a 6 hour drive.
