We call it DCA... Don't Count on Arrival!

The airline calls it DCA: Don't Care when we Arrive.

Marc - are you finally on Bonaire?

Not yet Jake, 9 more days of Dutch frost to endure... We delivered our goods to the shipping co yesterday, that will arrive somewhere in the first week of February. Meanwhile we're still here in a half-empty house, trying to use/eat/drink up most of the supplies we still have before departure

And cold it is, Jake! Blast from Canada just gripped this whole section of the Country...way windy and cold. They won't mind tho...quite a switch from what they are "used" to, eh? Carole

Linda's timing is impeccable -- we're having the coldest weekend of the winter this weekend! Daytime highs in the mid twenties, 10-30mph winds today...

We are scheduled to fly into Curacao in April. I need to get to Bonaire from there, which airline is best bet for being on time? Anybody tried the divi island shuttle plane?

I have flown Divi Air. No problems aside from my severe claustriphobia (I sat near a window and it helped). It's 90.00 USD one way.

Annie,

JoEllyn, be brave..if I can fly that little plane (short 15 min. hop over to CUR) ANYONE can. I almost had an anxiety attack but I stuck my face in the stream of air coming from vent and closed my eyes until the plane reached it's cruising altitude.

Divi Divi is great. I've flown it a couple of times, and the customer service, smoothness of the flight (it's a bit loud, but quite comfortable), and speed between airports is excellent.
|
By Glen Reem on Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 7:42 pm: |
Hey, in the small planes you know you are flying not just sitting somewhere that could still be the airport. And usually you can watch out the front and see it all as it happens. More fun that way! :–)
|
By JoEllyn Jablonski on Monday, January 13, 2003 - 1:08 pm: |
OK, thanks for all the advice, we will take the divi flight, I want to get there as quick as possible to start enjoying Bonaire. trip only 9 days this time, so very limited and do not want to spend it all in the airports. THANKS

Getting caught up, or trying to on postings. We just booked DCA from Miami-Bonaire direct for end of April. From these postings I'm a bit worried, but the choices from the states are slim. AJ doesn't seem to be a good choice and 13 hrs from Tampa to Bonaire via AA just doesn't excite me. Oh well just one more thing to look forward to!

Linda and I are hoping that for Easter week, when we head to Orlando with the kids, that BonairExel is already in operation so we can get direct (daily!) service from Bonaire to Miami, and connect from there by plane or car on the cheap (and bypassing DCA entirely). They claim they will be operational by the end of March, so here's hoping...

Flying in the face of popular opinion, I'm here to report that DCA gave us excellent service on our trip 3/8-22/03. Due to weather in Minneapolis we missed the connection in Miami and had to overnight at the MIA Hotel. No problem -- it has a nice outdoor pool for the kids and a great restaurant for dinner. On Sunday the flight was full, but somehow DCA squeezed in our group of 2 kids, mom, and grandma, and we arrived in Bonaire, with luggage, at the scheduled time.
