Has anyone else heard anything else about the new rumored Insel flight from CLT to BON? I have been checking websites for Insel and CLT Douglas Airport - but nothing

I'm hoping there will be a low Introductory Price to kick off that flight with a BANG.

I heard nothing either .... Insel Air just announced the start of a Medellin connection for April .... CLT was said to be planned for June, there is still hope ...

Hmmm...Medellin sounds interesting. But between Medellin and where? Miami? Bonaire?

When any of our airlines announces a new route it is always from Curacao , the connections to these flights with Insel Air from Bonaire are rather good.

I'd be happy if Insel would just start flying from CLT to CUR. I'd rather they do that several days a week instead of adding yet another Saturday flight from the US to BON.

Depending on the time the flight leaves CLT, Bonaire could become an all daylight trip for west coasters.

I did email Insel. Hopefully they will respond back. I will let everyone know what they say.

That would be nice Bill...but here we are scheduled for the red eye to Miami and onto Curacao via AA and then Insel to Bon. Although I did get an awesome deal on first class tickets using the instant upgrade, I paid less than I would have for economy on Continental or Delta so I am not complaining too much!

Okay everyone....Insel responded to my email. The news sounds very promising. Their response is:

Thank you Garrett

Insel responded back to my follow-up email. They said they do not yet have exact information as to where the CLT flight will fly to non-stop. So I guess we will wait and see

According to this aviation site.

Very interesting...I also just checked the ITA site and saw a $493 fare round trip CLT-BON via CUR. The return does not look very appealing though. Maybe Insel will rework some of their CUR-BON flights to make it more appealing (crossing fingers)

These new flight are on kayak.com now, too!

The $493 CLT-BON trip looks great!

US Airways presently does not have Insel flights to connect seamlessly with.
|
By Garrett Killian (BonaireTalker - Post #87) on Monday, April 18, 2011 - 1:38 pm: |
I didn't look in detail...just did a quick search in August for Wed-Wed...still looks promising
|
By Tom Schamp (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #698) on Tuesday, April 19, 2011 - 4:40 pm: |
I emailed US Airways about their supposed interline agreement with Insel.

I was curious about that too Tom...so I checked online going from PGV to BON on USAirways website...it was not possible. When I checked on ITA's site, they routed me through MIA to Insel -- guess we have to be patient and see if Insel will become a codeshare partner with USAirways (I hope so).
