We flew DAE when it was BonairExcel and were able to fly non-stop from Aruba. From the postings, it appears that all flights now go via Curacao. Is that correct? ALso does anyone know the approximate costs for a one-flight between Aruba & Bonaire and Curacao & Bonaire? When it was BonairExel you were able to book on-line so you could get schedules and price info. Doesn't appear to be the case with DAE, at least at the moment.

As of now there are no non-stop flights between Aruba and Bonaire. All go via Curacao, where you remain on the plane (bring water, it's hot). You can communicate with DAE via email or phone. My experience last month was that inaccurate schedule info was repeatedly sent via email. In the end, I sent all the details (except credit card info) via email and requested a response. They responded quickly and then I called and referred to the email. The phone call still took 45min. My RT Aruba-Bonaire cost was $203. There is no transit passenger area in Aruba, so you need to go through Customs & Immigration and then back through all the security checks(see details in previous threads.) Getting to Bonaire via Aruba is a nuisance to be sure, but for some it is by far the least expensive route, and a better schedule.
