My wife and I travel to most of the islands of the Caribbean, and just got back from Bonaire. We have concluded that no place makes it harder to get to than Bonaire. You really have to love the place to go there. We do, so we do it. Here are some tips to help first timers who are going to try it....

John, We are going thru Cur on Jan. 8th. Are you implying my reservations on Bonairexel are not good? Do you recommend we cancel Bonairexel and get reservations on DiviDivi?

No, but if I were you, I'd do some advance planning. Either they will solve their problems (which I wouldn't count on) or you leave plenty of connection time, or you could try to convince them to sell you actual tickets in advance, or consider Divi Divi. We stopped at the airport during our stay, and talked to the agent at the Divi Divi desk and found her to be genuinely concerned to help us - something we didn't see at Bonairexel.........

Thank you, I intend to get tickets or I will cancel and go with Divi Divi.

Because of the demise of DCA we had to scramble and ended up booking with AA to Curacau and Bonairexel to Bonaire. Booked the airfare through Caradonna, they provided us with E tickets on AA and paper tickets for Bonairexel. The entire flight itinerary could not have worked out much better. Bonairexel was on time and they even moved us up to earlier flights leaving Curacau. They were helpful and courteous at both Curacau and Bonaire. John's post above is accurate about the procedures in Curacau, it appears they are not exactly prepared for passengers that are in transit but still have to check in with another airline. But if you simply explain to them and show your previous airline ticket they will understand your intentions and send you on through. Can't speak for the Aruba connection, it has been my experience everything is difficult in that airport.

I always hated to go thru Cur....until I went thru Aruba... Cur is easy compared to Aruba.
