In April I am flying to Aruba from Chicago and then on to Bonaire. How reliable is this Bonairexel? My concern is my return to Chicago from Aruba. I have given myself a four hour window between the time Bonairexel lands back in Aruba and the flight going back to Chicago. Is this enough time?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Great site.

Paul, you will have ample time to make your connections. BE is more reliable than the few problems cited make it seem. We have had no problems with them.

I agree that you should not have any difficulty making your connection in Aruba with a four-hour layover. Make sure you check with BE the day before your scheduled departure from Bonaire to confirm flight times, however. They pushed our flight back three hours, and we did not find out about it until we arrived at the airport in Kralendijk. We were blamed for not providing BE with a contact number on the island (don't believe we were ever asked . . . ). We had more than enough time in Aruba, so no problems -- although friends returning to Toronto on the same day were not so lucky.

I wish you could give me 1 of those hours...I have to debark Exel...grab my bags....check the bags at AA and I have a whole 1hr 5 min. This my require Eva to start crying to pull it off. (worked once)

do you know what the schedules are on Bonaire Exel? Do they flight at night?

their web site also has a flight schedule ... I think the last plane comes to Bonaire at 10.30pm ant the first leaves at 7am

almost right the first plane of bonairexel leaves around 8 and the last 1 at 11:59 or 11:30 depens on what day.

Hope this helps u some how,
kind regards ,benji
