Has anyone had any experience with this new airline? Specifically my daughter is flying into Aruba on American Airlines and lands at 2:19pm and she has reservations for their 4:30pm flight over to Bonaire. Also on the return she leaves Bonaire at 1:15pm and lands in Aruba at 2pm to catch a 4pm flight back to the states. Does this sound reasonable for this new airline? How long should customs take in Aruba? Thanks, Stu Slavin

As of Jan. 1, 2004, BonairExel could not be booked by the Web-based systems Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz. However we see that Ecowas Airlies of Lagos, Nigeria, doing business as EcoAir, is code-sharing some flights that are available through Travelocity. Prices are being marked up. Bonaire-Curaçao and return on Saturday costs US$48 plus $7 tax from BonairExel but US$55 plus $7 tax plus $5 service fee from Travelocity and EcoAir. Similarly Kaliningrad Air of Russia is code-charing some DCA flights.

And if you want to send your money to Nigeria and Russia for airline tickets in the Antilles, have I got a bridge for you!!! Do you get to pick up your tickets at the Ecowas or Kaliningrad home offices??? Caveat emptor cubed.

Kaliningrad Air of Russia is NOT a code share (K8). They went out of business many years ago and DCA got assigned their old code. Some airline and travel systems never updated their code definitions.

Re: code sharing by Ecowas-BonairExel and by Kaliningrad-DCA (from Linda Richter) as mistakes.

No luck getting Travelocity to correct their Ecoair and Kaliningrad. I emailed them Jan. 4th and got a question back from them. I pointed out to them that the wrong names were displayed using a graphic file.
