Today (Saturday 2/19) I tracked the AJ flights we'll be using next Saturday to go from Boston to Bonaire (AJ48+AJ66), and from Bonaire to Boston on March 12 (AJ67+AJ49). They were all on or close to schedule. That makes me feel better.

For what it's worth: I just checked AJ for our flights (April 30 - May 11) Boston-Bonaire, and they went down a bit more than $70 a ticket. I of course already purchased ours, so I'm stuck with the higher price. But if you can wait, you may get a good deal... hopefully, they'll still be flying.

Ann, are you sure? I called AJ, and the guy I talked to said I was SOOL (out of luck is the last part )

I did airline tickets from 87-2000 and we always had to reimburse clients when fares went down..and sometimes the client had to go to the airport..this I am sure of..now who knows..

It's a jungle out there - We're Delta passengers on AJ, because when I went to book our dates last September, AJ was sold out on our dates, but Delta still had seats. Our cost then was $818, about $80 more than AJ. Now, Delta won't show me a price on the web for our dates (Feb 26 - March 12), but I can get them to show me March 19 - May 11 at $920, April 30 - May 11 (Susan's dates) at $761, and some dates in the middle at $785.

I paid $570 two weeks ago for flights two weeks from now. The route is Boston-Aruba(AA non-stop), Aruba-Bonaire (BonairExel/Express). At present there are some very good fares to Aruba, granted they come with the Aruba luggage/Customs/Immigration hassle, and at the moment, some uncertainty about the Aruba/Bonaire hop.

David, I'm on the AJ flight out of NY 2/26 returning 3/5 so we are on the same MBJ to Bon flight. I have been monitoring it for the past 2 weeks or so and looking at the seat map and it appears to be totally full. For a while, they were showing 1 seat available and now they weren't even showing that. The US flights seem to be flying somewhat normally again which is good.

AJ just cancelled Sat flight 10 2/26 from JFK to MBJ I now have to leave at 5am from JFK to atlanta on Delta to MBJ to meet the bonaire flight after the reservationist was trying to figure out what to do. He was trying to get me on American to miami with a 45 minute layover onto a flight to MBJ but wasn't sure. I had to suggest this to him to get this to work

Bummerr, Jeffrey, about your cancellation, but glad you were able to make other arrangements to make the AJ flight MBJ to BON. We should be in seats 9A & C for that leg; say hi if you walk by us. Oops, I just checked your profile and saw your email address; now I'm not so sure I want to meet you. Just joking.

The New York Flight was completely booked according to the seat map so that theory goes out the window. If you can check your itinerary online and you can see if they made any changes to it. it appears they tried to change the NY flight without us knowing. They were going to take the NY to Kingston flight and divert it to MBJ and hold up the Bonaire flight or take the Curacao flight and have that stop in Bonaire. You can see all of that in the itinerary changes but i guess the decided not to do that and cancelled the flight completely. If we make all of the flights we will be in seats 31 E,F so come back and say hello to us if we don't come up to you first.

I called Air Jamaica this morning to check on our flights from Boston on March 5 and the return flight on the 31st and at this time there have been no changes on those dates so I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

Corney Ann, they changed our MBJ BON flight hours before ...sorry to tell you..when I go to MBJ at 5 they said out 6:30 flight would stop in ATL, we would clear customs and then get to BOS at 1:30 AM instead of 10:30..call the night before to make sure..and make sure they have a contact number in your PNR (record).
