I am not a diver but like Bonaire and flew to Curacao from Toronto via Miami on the 7th. I went to the Divi Divi counter (it's hard to find as it's so small, next to KLM) and learned that the only flight left that day was full and they would not be flying on Friday the 8th because the plane was going in for service! I later learned that until they get a second plane, expected in "a couple" of months, they will be taking their only plane out of service once a month, usually around the 8th, 9th or 10th. I got a seat on ALM for 0700 hours Friday morning and got to Bonaire without a hitch.

See older postings for horror stories of long walks in the heat through the airport along a confusing route. There can be a very long layover as well, depending on your connection.

I have had lay overs in San Juan seeral times and have never minded. It is a large airport and you do have to walk a long way for your connection. When I was returning home from Bonaire with my broken knee, myself and roomates were driven in tyle in this great huge golf cart type vehicle. It was neat!

The walk in San Juan from the ATR area to Customs and Immigration is long but in air conditioning and with signs galore. Going down is all in the main terminal--I don't remember a long walk then. Besides, aren't all divers in good physical shape??? Especially at the end of a trip???

I had a pretty short connection yesterday from Bonaire to Boston and everything was flawless. Lines through the security check-point after customs were really long (20 minute wait, but I still made it to my flight with time to spare (arrived 9am in San Juan, left at 10:30am - got to the gate after immigration & customs at about 10:00am. Made some new friends along the way :-)
