We want to fly from Bonaire to Aruba on Sunday, Oct 14, 2007. What are the Pros & Cons of Divi-Divi vs DAE? How reliable are they? Are both financially sound and likely to still be in business come October? Do either offer direct flights or do we have to route through Curacao?
We made a similar trip 18 months ago and flew with Bonaire-Exel, which I believe is now Divi-Divi Airlines. How long has DAE been in operation? I am get quite nervous making long term reservations with with these small, transient airlines.

Have not flown with either one but from what everyone says both are good. Bonaire-Exel is DAE now not Divi-Divi. Divi-Divi does not fly to or from Aruba so you will have to use DAE and you will make a stop in Curacao. I have been checking on flights to Curacao or Aruba and then to Bonaire, so far it is better for us to do Continental if only going for a week.

If this info is not correct someone will let us know.

I flew with DAE Aruba-BON, and BON-Aruba in Jan/Feb this year. No problems, a little late, both directions, but that's not unique to DAE, for sure!!! I allowed plenty of time for connections as I'm now gun-shy if I'm not all on one airline for a trip.
Returning through Aruba was a ••••• because of having to go through immigration and customs. A total mess, and I was REALLY glad I had 3 hours for the connection...

Having the DAE add on from to Aruba ads quite a price tag to the trip. What if your US flight is delayed? Oct. is Hurricane season so....

I had clients going thru Aruba miss their DAE connection and have to wait DAYS to get to Bonaire. If I had to go to another island I choose Curacao. More flights to BON. IMHO.

Hi,

Last year we flew with divi from Bonaire to Curacao, but our bag went to Aruba. Is Divi still flying Bonaire - Aruba or only DEA. And what is the price for a day trip to Aruba? Are there any other posibilities?
