Has AA ever atempted to offer service from Miami to Bonaire? I know that they are increasing Miami service to such places as St. Lucia and Grand Cayman. I think that MIA-BON a few times a week, or on Saturdays, would be great. No more 6:00am fligts to San Juan.

Not a chance. Getting Government permission to fly from PR to Bonaire required a huge effort. There is not a decent money market to support a MIA-BON connection. The $$$$ route is MIA-CUR or MIA-ARU, the local carriers pick up the loose change. Would be VERY nice however...

Not even once a week? Many of USAirways' Caribbean flights are once a week.

Does the Antillean Government know that Air Jamaica is extremely popular? I'm sure they are not so happy now that they've granted AJ permission to fly.

What's the big issue about getting permission to fly from anywhere? Isn't it in the gov't's interest to allow as many flights as possible = which will get more tourists = more tax money?

Yes! Look at that $20 departure tax? They might even think of adding it to the airfare, like the Aruban government does. Then it's hidden; it could maybe even be $30.
