*GACK!* OK, help me out here, experienced BTers... I'm taking my first trip to Bonaire in April/May, and I got my ticket a while ago at a fair price ($700 something...)

Try www.yapta.com for tracking the price of certain flights. I have just joined so can not tell you for sure how well it works but, in theory it sounds like it should work well for the Bonaire price issue.

We encountered the same thing with Continental earlier this year. Give it a few weeks and it will probably drop back down. You can also check flying out of different cities. We can fly from Austin cheaper than flying direct from Houston at times.

Thanks for the information, everyone - I'll check out yapta and see what there is to see.

Booked two roundtrippers...under $1000 for both on Continental this evening...but I am not thrilled with a 5:45AM arrival.

Scott, upon arrival one person stays to retrieve bags while the other goes straight for the rental car. Normally both are done about the same time. If both wait for bags the rental car line is killer long. As a plus, you get to dive on your arrival day.

I'm thinking the red eye won't be a problem - I can sleep on planes and hopefully will stay snuggled up against the window and not cuddle the poor strangers sitting next to me.

Teri, could see ya there. The way my calendar's looking it may be April before we get back to BON. Enjoy your three day spring diving!
