HELP!!!!
Though we can get accommodations over the holidays, we can't get airfare for our party of 19 coming from all over the US. Seems there's not seats on AA once you get to San Juan. Continental's once a week flights are booked! Tried googling Bonaire Express and can't find a web site. Please, if you can tell me about any interisland airlines (or reputable charter companies) and tell me how I contact them......otherwise we are stuck at San Juan for the holidays

Try flying into either Aruba or Curacao and taking Bonaire Express to Bonaire. BE only goes between islands within the NA. The web site for BE is www.bonairexpress.com

I live on Bonaire. I do NOT recommend taking Bonaire Express.
From Curacao, take Divi Divi. Please believe me!!! From Curacao, that is much more reliable.
Only American Eagle flies from San Juan to Bonaire. You do not have any other option on that route.
Tish

Has anyone tried to charter a flight from San Juan for a private group? I am in the same situation as PTexas with 9 people trying to get there and no affordable seats...

What is Divi Divi?

I finally got the web site for Bonaire Express to work but there doesn't seem to be any seats anytime during the holidays.....at least that's what the web site says.
Is Divi Divi a boat? I can't seem to find anything when I google it.

Welcome to BT, PTexas.
Divi Divi is a local airline, (small planes) that flies between Curacao and Bonaire. They get rave reviews from all I've seen posted. If you search this website for Divi Divi (use Keyword Search at bootom of each page) you might get a link. I know that theire website is not an obvious one like DiviDivi.com...
Someone else help me out here.

Try www.baibini.com, PTexas, and you'll get to Divi Divi. Hope it works out for you!

I use divi divi for all my travel between curacao & bonaire. they have never failed me and you will find them very flexible. You can charter for about the same price as the regular fare.

I'm not a local, but I travel to Bonaire occasionally. I have gone the route through Aruba, and although it's a little confusing if you don't know the drill, it is certainly an option for you (unless they are booked of course). I personally prefer the AE route, but that's obviously not an option for you.

I have heard many good things about the Divi Divi route through Curacao.

Good luck!

PS if you decide to go the Aruba route, email me and I can provide several helpful hints.

American Airlines from DFW to Miami,American Airlines from Miami to Curacao, Divi Divi from Curacao to Bonaire.
Leave DFW at 6:00am. Arrive Curacao at 2:00pm, leave Curacao on the 3:00pm flight.....Cultimare for Groceries and RUM......Good nights rest. Checkout Dive at 9:00am......
