Hi all

Trying to put a trip together in May for 4 days - has anyone succeeded in a trip using AJ one way and AA the other? It won't work on Orbitz unless you stop at least twice with like a 6 hour layover each way.

I'd like to take AJ down or back on a Saturday and work the AA around it on Wednesday.

Thanks for your input.

Carl
On a per dive basis that sounds like a pretty expensive trip. No diving on Tuesday, so that leaves only Sunday and Monday maybe one on Saturday. With air fair,lodging,meals, taxes and diving, I think you'll be at a couple of hundred per dive.
My 2 cents. Mick

I did a weekend trip to the Florida Keys last year to help with the PBD. It was cheaper to get to.

I can get the round trip on AA for $500, but the times on the Saturday AJ to Bonaire or leaving Bonaire are much more convenient. :-)

I would use Orbitz miles if I can get AJ, I could get a RT for just about free, or FF miles for AA, so it is not expense I care about this time - I just like the 4pm departure from Bon on AJ.

As for a long trip for a short stay - It is about 9 hours door to door from my house to on-the-ground in Bonaire, and I can get a lot accomplished on the plane, so I don't mind. Biggest problem is missing my 16 month old son.
:-)
