YIKES!!! just when i thought Bonaire sounded too good to be true, I tried to research airfare! OW!!! first thing I'm finding (on travelocity...why I still use them, I don't know!) is when I type in my search, a price will pop up, but when I try to make specific reservations it says something like "airline doesn't fly from AVL to BON"...well then why did the rate pop up????

As you will read in many posts on this board, there aren't many direct flights from the States to Bonaire. Continental will begin flying from Houston once a week in December, but a roundtrip from Asheville through Houston to Bonaire won't be cheap, unless you can use miles. I couldn't find any Continental flights with seats available where I could use WorldPerks (NWA) miles between January and April 2006 -- without multiple rule busting.

Andrew hit it. Take a drive down to Charlotte and catch a direct flight to Aruba then Bonaire Excel to Bonaire. Cheapest and easiest way right now.

our tickets to bonaire from cleveland have always been in the $625-$750 pp range. once we had to pay about $875 but we weren't able to travel on cheaper days. for our trip in sept/oct and our next one in feb. we are paying around $700. that seems to be the going rate now. we try to fly during the week and avoid weekends and that saves some money.

i'm finding Charlotte to San Juan to Bonaire for $668....should I snag it??? Sounds pricey to me, but from what I'm reading that may be the best I find. Maybe we'll have to skip the "resort" places and stay somewhere "budget". I LOVE THIS WEBSITE....my compulsive hyper-planning needs can all be met here, so that when I get to Bonaire... I CAN CHILL!!!!!!!

rachel...go for it. do not stop...run, don't walk, to the website and grab the fare. i know it's not cheap but i don't know that you'll get much better.
