glen, the post says that the "total weight must not exceed 45 kilos". do you know if that's per bag or per person? if it's per bag, that's a lot of weight...a lot more than bonaire express used to allow...and a lot more than most people would want to drag around in one bag.

I don't know, Pat. I am just the messenger here, passing the article on. As long as the limit seems larger than needed.... :–)

How does one protect the content of their luggage if locks must be left opened?

Cheryl, I used colored zip ties. After they inspect the bags at LAX, or Bon, I put the colored zip tie on where the lock would go. If the baggage arrives with the zip tie gone, then I know it's been inspected and have more of a "burden of proof" if something is missing. I know that sometimes at LAX I let them know I want to put the zip tie on and usually ask them if "now" is the right time. They let me know. It's worth a try....

They took our locks off our bags at Philadelphia airport (cameras) we usually go Air Jamaica and now the restriction is 50 pounds per bag (2 allowed) per person for check in. We were way over! 80 pounds per bag...(Jake's twik's bars! only kidding Jake!) They let us go without a charge since we were not aware of the change..(we were suprised at this kindness!)

I thought BonareExcel was the only way to get from Aruba to Bonaire - and I just found out its $203PP. Seems high. Is there another airline?

No, there is no other airline which flies that route.

Divi Divi Air does fly this route and many others, this could be also an option for those interested,and by the way, Divi always has flown at night time , this is how it always executes its charters to other routes after flying between Bonaire and Curacao during the daytime.

I believe it includes a lot of islanders, Mick, all around the world. I thought that name 'B-N' rang a small bell.
