I don't seem to find any new JFK-BON flights (starting 12/20) on either delta.com or kayak.com, but we should give it a few days.

Tom, I've reently posted a story about this on the Insider. It's at: http://www.bonaireinsider.com/index.php/bonaireinsider/delta_airlines_adds_new_non_stop_flight_from_new_yorks_jfk_to_bonaire_start/

I might even consider flying out of JFK to avoid the EWR red-eye. (finally a way to use my 400K+ delta miles)

I recently booked on the Continental out of Newark. This will be a great option for many. Still not so great for us New Englanders. Just wish the return flight didn't get back so late. After clearing customs, It could be tough to get back to Boston the same night.

Still waiting for Continental's news release!

Gary, you know something we don't know? Is it good news or just wishful thinking? Inquiring minds want to know!

Yes, Delta now has their new Saturday nonstop from JFK in their system, $587 RT.
|
By Jan Klos - ( Hamlet Bonaire ) (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #691) on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 - 8:07 pm: |
The new flight will depart and return each week on Saturdays, using a Boeing 737-800 jet which holds 160 seats. The originating flight from JFK to Bonaire will depart New York at 10:30 AM, arriving in Bonaire at 4:25 PM. The return flight from Bonaire to New York’s JFK airport will depart Bonaire at 5:15 PM and arrive at JFK at 9:05 PM.

Hi, ya'll! I just bought two tickets for 12-20 departure and return on 12-27-08! Can't beat the price for that week...even with a limo ride from Morristown, NJ to JFK and back we are still paying less for all airfare and limo rides for both of us than the coach fare on CON for the same dates! I love it!
|
By Carole B. (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #6876) on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 1:27 am: |
I just want to clarify one thing...the total cost of our round trip airfare (for both of us) and the two limo trips to & from NJ/JFK ALL total less than ONE coach r/t ticket on CON for the same dates. You really can't beat the new Delta offer! Carole

Did Carole mention that she has hired Joe out as my resident chef for that week?? She may be on vacation but???

Hi, folks, just some more news for anyone interested in booking the introductory special directly on www.delta.com. Although Delta has the new route and pricing in their computer, they are still dealing with one glitch.

Tom, the fares from BOS will be over 700.00 USD. I tried to get those intro rates today for some travel clients. The cheapest I could find was 781.00.
|
By Tom Schamp (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #128) on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 11:21 am: |
I kinda figgered that

Carole - I don't live too far from you and we have found the cheapest alternative when we fly in/out of JFK is to stay in one of the airport hotels - several offer 7-10 days of parking if you spend one night. (in the past this included the Radisson & Sheraton)

Tom, why go to Aruba? If you fiddle with that airport in the winter, well, you could strike out. Imagine if your flight from BOS is delayed and you miss your DAE connection? It might take DAYS to get to Bonaire if DAE is full each flight. Something to think about. I speak from client experience. I fly up to BOS often and recommend AA or CO. You can do AA to MIA and then CUR if you must avoid San Juan. IMHO.

Very exciting news.
|
By Tom Schamp (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #129) on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 4:16 pm: |
We're flying RT to Aruba from Nov 6th-18th on AA, planning probably 9 of the 12 days on Bonaire. (I've not bought the hop-flights yet.)
