we have finally gotten our tickets for a Feb. 2006 trip. Outrageously more expensive than our last 5 trips there, but that is the cost of not planning earlier. What I do not know is this: How close can we cut our connections into Curacao at the trip's beginning and end? On Dutch Eagle Express we could try to book either a 10P or 11P departure from CUR after our 9:25P AA arrival, and on return, will a 8A departure from Flamingo get us to our 9:25A depature out of CUR or do we need to get up at the ungodly hour needed to get the 0600 departure from Bonaire? Tish's 'resident on Bonaire' posts are looking sooooo attractive.

Thanks Tish. Yes we have been to Bonaire about 5 prior times, but not for about 2 years. We actually have seriously discussed purchasing there as we both love the place, people and pace. Will have to look into the options more on this trip. Need any doctors down there? As to DEA, I just got off the phone with Maureen @ Belmar yesterday and she 'named' it Dutch Eagle Express. I know this particular puddle jumper reincarnates frequently, but A name change overnight is more than I expected.

You might want to check out the "Moving to Bonaire" threads. Some concern the medical professions.

Can someone tell me the names of the island hoppers that fly into Bonaire from Aruba / Curacao? My travel agent (from Ontario, Canada) is having a difficult time trying to find this out and book our flights. Thanks, Cheryl

DCA (as such) has been out of business for some time and I believe Royal Aruban just declared bankruptcy and stopped operation. No joy there!!!

Thank you Bev & Glen. As luck would have it, charters out of Toronto are sold out for the time period that we can travel. So we are now looking at going to Bonaire via Philadelphia & San Juan. It will be an all day flight but the 'up' side of all of this is that we have 2 weeks this year ..so you'll hear no complaining from moi :D. Keep your toes crossed that this all works out ... our agent is phoning me back asap with confirmation numbers.

Does anyone know what the checked baggage piece and weight restrictions are on DiviDivi?

Welcome to BT, Ryan!!

Hey Ryan, Tish is right. DiviDivi might bring your baggage on a next flight, but they don't have strict weight limits. If the "weight and balance" is within legal limits they bring it along. If not....... indeed: the next flight.
