I waited too long and didn't get that amazing air fare for 630 through SJU. Now everything is much more expensive - 850 from NYC. Any suggestions?

When are you going? What are your dates? Air Jamaica has a sale. 522.00 pp in Jan. and Feb. for select dates from JFK.

It's preferable February 12-21. But most airlines don't seem to have mid week flights. How do I find out about Air JAmaica. Yesterday their booking software wasn't working.

Natalya, have you looked at the Aruba route. I see direct flights from Newark for $370 then another $200 to BonaireExpress, will get you to Bonaire. Here's a link.

Natalya, when all else fails, call them! When I'm looking and see a great fare, I just HIT THE BUTTON...it can flucuate, and once it goes up, it's not likely to come back down for a while...:-(

The problem is that they fly only on specific dates and there is no way to see the actual schedule. Which days do you say the is a charter NYC-Aruba. I wasn't able to find is that cheap. Please help. I really want share your joy in Bonaire and its wonderful activities.

Natalya I entered your dates and got that fare. The link I posted (when it worked) had a choice of either American or Continental direct to Aruba. As far as I know Bonaire Express flies every day. You can book BE through a travel agent like Caradonna Travel.

Natalya, you are much better off calling AJ than trying to book online, in my previous experience.

Natalya,

Also check out flying mid week via Air Jamaica to Curacao, then taking Divi or BonairExpress to Bonaire (about a 12 minute trip).
