Last week while I was in Bonaire I saw lots of large KLM jets come in. Staying at The Plaza you see (and hear) most flights. Knowing they partner with Northwest, I checked out the Northwest and KLM websites, but they do not show you a route to get to Bonaire from within the US (or at least my airport - RDU). I did see that if you fly KLM from Amsterdam, you connect through JFK. SO...I'm wondering, has anyone looked into making a connection at JFK to a KLM flight to get to Bonaire? I flew American last week, and am absolutely disgusted with them.

I checked Northwest a couple of years ago. I wanted to get from Seattle - Bonaire but I would have had to fly from Seattle-Amsterdam-Bonaire. Way too expensive. Our best alternative from here is AA and they can be up and down. Got bumped in SJ last trip.

Garrett,
Welcome to Bonairetalk. I would be interested in any info you may find on flying out of RDU. Our flight back from Bonaire (June 15) was routed by Delta via AUA. We left BON @ 11am (Bonaire Excell), went through US customs in AUA (GREAT!)then took a delta direct flight to ATL. In ATL we wasted several hours, then arrived in RDU @11:30 pm. If we would have known about the earlier flight out of ATL we would have requested the earlier flight(7:21) and arrived in RDU at 8:39pm. I think Continental, Northwest and Delta are codeshares.

Northwest has I believe a hub in Memphis, and there were rumors a couple of years ago about Memphis to Bonaire to Amsterdam, as Northwest/KLM are partners, but it never materialized.

KLM is flying Amsterdam-Bonaire-Lima and back and KLM is flying Amsterdam-Bonaire-Guayaquil-
Quito-Bonaire-Amsterdam and this is all. No connection to the US from Bonaire
