It is Sunday morning & I have just walked in the door, having checked my bags in with AJ at Noon Bonaire time on Saturday. It's been nearly a 20 hour adventure home.

Yikes Susan. I'm getting shudders just by reading your post. We're scheduled to fly EWR-BON on 3/20 and BON-EWR on 3/27. I guess that gives us enough time to get mentally prepared ang get an extra book. Thanks for the heads up. Coach Izzy

We're scheduled to fly out of Atlanta in May-the flight time has slightly changed, but nothing more. Has anyone had problems with this flight?

On the 17th the MBJ ATL flight was cancelled and they were put on the MBJ BOS flight. It was fine for the ATL passengers but a freakmare for the BOS bound clients.

We flew to Philly on 17 February. Plane from BON - MOBAY, about 1 hour late, Plane from MOBAY to Philly about 1.5 hour late. Wasn't that bad as Ann P and I got to talk on the trip from BON to MOBAY (Yak,,Yak...Yak)....

I can’t add anything to the times that Sue reports about the AJ flight to Newark, we got home as the sun rose over snow-covered forests rather than salt-encrusted beaches, but there were some entertaining moments while we waited. I especially liked the “Supermarket Sweep” and “The Price is Right” combo at the deli in the duty free area at MOB. No one had a clue as to how much the little bags of chips and noshes were so they just grabbed as much as they could carry and lined up with their $500 (Jamaican) per-passenger food vouchers and hoped for the best.

You've got the right spirit and attitude, Brian! I'm from NJ and I can see myself losing that "smile" at times with the hassles but I will keep your note in mind the next time we board AJ in May this year.....keep on smiling...going down and coming back.

I am understand why people are so frustrated-they've paid a lot of money for their airline tickets! It's not like it's a $2 subway that's broken down. They should really have also given travel vouchers. Our flight on AJ was cancelled due to mechanical error 2 years ago. My mom wrote a long letter to the people in Jamaica, and somehow we got free tickets to Bonaire for the following year! Don't let AJ get away with this. I also think that the Newark route is cursed.

Oh, Lizzie....I can't take any more! I wish Spring would arrive NOW!! LOL. Tomorrow (Monday) is going to be a nightmare around here in Northern New would just rain, but.....

Oh, It red dotted out the word "if it"...after the Jersey....why?? Hmmmmm.

By Susan Taft (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #448) on Monday, February 28, 2005 - 9:43 am: |
Well Carole I suppose we could just make jokes about New Jersey and say that the board is smart to dot it out .... LOL. Used to have family in NJ so know that your state is the recipient of lots of jokes at its expense!
|
By Sue Goodman (BonaireTalker - Post #95) on Monday, February 28, 2005 - 11:29 am: |
I'm not sure I want to spend the time writing to AJ about this nightmare, as I really don't want to fly them again.

Be nice to us that live and work in NJ. We have to work hard to be able to make these relaxing trips to Bonaire. But - New Jersey has great areas - Appalachian mountains - shore areas - pine areas. It is just changing too much - too fast. We are losing our open spaces all too quickly.

Hey, Susan, no need to apologize to me about NJ...I don't like living here, either! Snow is starting to pile up here in Morristown, too, Lizzie...enuff, already!! I think the "editor" thought the letters "i" and "f" and "t" in the same line must be a "no no" "If it"....let's see if it likes it this time.

By Susan Taft (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #449) on Monday, February 28, 2005 - 6:18 pm: |
Carole, snow has not started here yet but we are due to get what you are currently getting. I do live in a spot without lots of crowds and traffic -- except during ski season when we see more New Jersey cars than Vermont ones!!!

Hi Sue: We flew Air Jamaica from Bonaire on 2/27 to MonBay on the same flight and have had nothing but problems all the way down and back.
