Hello hello!

Anyone got any suggestions on a cheap route to Bonaire from Ontario? As youngsters, we wont have an awful lot of money available for the trip and don't mind bargain basement quality.

Thanks, Eleanor.

Or www.kayak.com. Eleanor you also want to check flights to Aruba (AUA) or Curacao (CUR). If you can get cheap flights to either then you can get to Bonaire (with DAE or Divi Divi respectively).

Eleanor, FYI, the RT cost from Aruba will be an additional $200 US pp.

You can take the charter from Toronto/ Curacao from Skyservice then take the Divi air or DAE to Bonaire. The Skyservice flight leaves on Sunday 7am this season. The price is not cheap you are looking RT about $950.00- $1000.00 per person taxes included

We are flying from Ottawa to Bonaire (leaving tomorrow!) and are taking Continental Airlines all the way: Ottawa -> Newark, NJ -> Bonaire. The cost for two people, round-trip, all taxes included was Cdn $1478. We booked this using the travelocity.ca web site.

The only downside is an 8-1/2 hour wait between flights in Newark (we will purchase 1 day passes to the Continental lounge - US$45 per person - to make the wait a little more comfortable).

hth

From Toronto we take American to Curacao, via Miami then DiviDivi over to Bonaire. It means an overnight in Miami on the way down, as the connection is now too tight. It lands us in Bonaire around 4pm. We get in a dive on arrival day ! Departure flight is mid morning, for a 2:15 flight out of Curacao, and we are in Toronto before Midnight. We've done this 3 times now. It works well for us. And we love the service on Divi Divi.

We also live in Ottawa. For our trip to Bonaire in November we chose to fly Ottawa - Newark - Curacao - Bonaire. This routing arrives in Bonaire at 3:45 PM on Saturday. Return route is Bonaire - Newark - Ottawa. Total cost was Cdn $1100.

We looked at the redeye, but also did not like having to wait a long time in Newark. Might just as well arrive in the afternoon and enjoy the first evening by the sea.

I just returned from Bonaire. I drove from Ottawa to Newark (7.25 hrs) then took the red-eye out of Newark for $630 CDN total. Really good deal, if you can manage the long drive.
