By Grunt, 22 days and I'm there! (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #614) on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 - 8:24 pm: |
I understand the departure tax needs to be payed. What is the deal as of today for paying this tax? Departure ticket in hand, then to the tax window? Or just the opposite? Can I no longer pre-pay, by a day or two, the departure tax? Curious minds want and need to know. And thanks for any and all answers.

We had friends try to pay a day or so before departure and they were refused. When we departed on March 26th, I was able to pay that morning before we checked in.

I thought it was $32. Did it go up?

Didn't I read somewhere that you can pre pay it if you have a Saturday flight?

April, it went up. there is now a $2 (or somewhere close to that) security tax. They bundle it together when you pay the departure tax.

Also on Sunday mornings the airport is very busy. No problem paying ahead of time. There was no line at the tax window the Sunday before or the Sunday we left. They had 2 people at the window, one taking cash, the other charges. The biggest problem was returning the rental. Matter of fact we were able to pay the week before we left as we had a drop off for an early Sunday am flight.

Glen, I think Jan might be referring to paying the car rental account one week before they dropped off the car before the early Sunday a.m. flight...I might be misreading her post, however.

Hmmmmm, I read Jan's post again and now I am confused, as well. Could be the airport tax was paid ahead, and not the rental car....hmmmm...cb

Sorry about that, Sometimes my fingers hit the keys faster than the brain.

The car rental had been paid in full on the day of pick up. So the process of drop off took like 3 minutes (after standing in line for 45 minutes).

It's Saturday and I just returned from taking the girls to the airport. I was able to get their airport tax stubs AND our stubs for next week.....without boarding passes.

And the fun of making sure that you got on one of ALM's little planes from Curacao to Bonaire by at least the last flight of the day. Dash-8s and Skyvans, as I remember.
