Really? How is it helpful to suggest that the Op (who appears to be located in NC from their sig) should fly out of Boston - so maybe there is actually something to see here...

Charlotte AND Raleigh both similar prices. The statement that 'Bonaire flights have doubled for 2020', is ridiculous.

To be fair, I searched Delta and American out of Asheville for mid-June and the pricing for Delta was around $1000 more per person than AA. So depending on the date and day o week she searched, she could be right.
They actually did from Newark - I paid under ~$800 in November 2018 and it’s ~$1,800 for next November - so, for me, it’s more than doubled!

Like a lot of places I think it's getting loved to death.

I live in AVL. I have to fly through ATL to get to Bonaire. I noted that I only checked Delta. I travel for a living so my status and points are currently through Delta. I travel to BON 3 times per year. I constantly look at the rates for the upcoming months and plan my trips around the best fares for flights so I’m extremely aware of “typical” rates. With Delta, the further out the more expensive to BON. So, I usually don’t book too far in advance. I just pulled Delta rates from AVL to BON Apr 4-11 and the flights were over $2k. I have never, ever seen that in the last 3 years. Believe me or not, pull it up. I added a pic. I hope the rates do come down as that is crazy. I don’t care how awesome BON is, I’m not paying $4k for flights. I love BON and was looking forward to going back.
I think it’s a little weird that I touched such a nerve with some with my statement. “How dare I make such a statement” albeit true.

I have looked at some other weeks and it looks like some aren’t as high as I last checked so I’m hopeful.

Sadly, anyplace awesome, that happens. We’ve been in Asheville for about 10 years and it has gotten so crazy with the tourists. But, what can you do?
