Has anyone used this airline to get from Aruba to Bonaire? Is it reliable? I usually fly Air Jamaica from Newark to Bonaire (through Montego Bay). But, since Air Jamaica is stoping all flights to Bonaire I'm looking for another travel plan. > Has anyone used this airline to get from Aruba to Bonaire? Is it > reliable?

We used them in July, and they got us back and forth without problems. The flight from Aruba to Bonaire was a little late, but that's "island time". Their website doesn't work, and I think they call themselves Bonaire Exel. We also found that the published schedule was wrong, and it took a travel agent familiar with them to sort it out and get us booked. We flew to Aruba from Philadelphia, and knowing USair's Philly problems, we planned on spending a night on Aruba and taking the morning flight to Bonaire. This proved to be the absolute correct thing to do, as our flight left Philly 3 hours late and we would not have made the last flight to Bonaire. I will soon post a trip report. Bonaire is not a place I need to go back to. >> Has anyone used this airline to get from Aruba to Bonaire? Is it >> reliable?

Well, there's always Newark to Houston to Bonaire on Continental. It's a long (very long) day, though. >We used them in July, and they got us back and forth without problems. >The flight from Aruba to Bonaire was a little late, but that's "island [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >to do, as our flight left Philly 3 hours late and we would not have >made the last flight to Bonaire.

I thought it was going to start in December. > You think things will improve after America West takes over? Only if they fire everyone in Philadelphia and start all over with people who want to do what they get paid for. > That's a forboding comment if I ever heard one. I'll try to get a trip report finished in the next day or 2. > Is that available now? I thought it was going to start in December. It's supposed to start in December. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. They aren't taking bookings yet, or for some other reason their system didn't let me make a reservation for the several weekend combinations I tried for March. So I said to heck with it and booked on the Nekton Pilot out of Belize instead. Bonaire is too much damn work. Work to get there and work once you're there. Vacations are supposed to be fun. |
