Has anyone ever used one of the charter flights from Aruba to Bonaire? Insel, e-liner or Tiara?

We did a charter last time from Curacao to Bonaire, you do not want to know how much. Get a regular flight unless you are in Bill Gate's tax bracket.

It is very expensive....like $400 per person. You might find it cheaper to buy the plane.

anyone ever tried this route?

DAE from Aruba > Curacao
Divi Divi from Curacao to Bonaire

This would eliminate many hours of layovers.

Bart,

I recently emailed fly'ndive on Aruba and they replied that their flights to BON were for persons diving with them on Aruba. It's a same day roundtrip on a 3 seater. They said they do not offer any sort of private charters to BON.

I just found the email from "Fly 'n Dive" on Aruba and here is what they told me:

"Thank you for the continuing interest you have in Fly & Dive.

Do keep in mind that we are not a charter company. We offer the service of flying to Bonaire as an additional service to persons diving with us. (This is a one day trip, with a max of 3 people).

For transport to Bonaire for your purpose, you can better look for DCE (Dutch Caribbean Express) 011 297 5834949 or Tiara Air. 011 297 5820901. I do not know if they are offering any online service. You can try to contact them locally by phone.

Hope this helps.

In the meanwhile, I remain,

Sincerely,

Steve Vanderauwera"
