I am arriving in CUR on Sat April 30 at 1:40pm. What connecting flights and times are good to BON?

Insel 3pm or 5 pm? (maybe book the 5pm and if lucky make the 3pm if seats are avail?)
DAE 4:14 pm

Any other?

We did yyz to Cur last fall and took the 5 pm Insel. Gave us a little break to stretch, eat, get thru customs and enjoy some sunshine.

Take whatever you can get, ASAP (5pm safer). April 30 is a very big holiday (Queen's Birthday) celebrated in Holland, Curacao and Bonaire (as is May 1, Labor Day). Lots of travelers from everywhere going to/from CUR/BON.

There are 4 airlines flying CUR/BON (although Easy Air does not fly on Saturdays): http://www.oldbonairetalk.com/newsgroup/messages/428113/439540.html?1292012890

Hi Ellen
Welcome to Bonaire Talk!
Generally speaking the 5 pm would be my choice.
Most of the time American is on time, but can be late. It will take about an hour to clear customs.
Take the phone # of the Curacao airlines just in case. The last time I booked with EZ air,for the ride over to Bonaire, American had a mechanical delay in Miami. I was able to contact EZ and since they only fly daylight hours they booked me with DAE--without using my credit card--they were marvelous
You'll find the smaller Curacao airlines very accommodating.
