It's possible to fly to Curacao first and then on to Bonaire the same day. We flew the late morning flight out of Houston and arrived at 2PM. There are at least 2 DAE flights to Bonaire later than that. And there's Divi and Insel Air also. Around $200-250 r/t. But otoh, I think you'll find airfare to Curacao is 1/2 to 2/3rd's of the price to Bonaire (before this latest gas crisis)

I think you'll use up Bonaire in 3wks. Even the diving started to seem similar after 20 dives or so. Other than dinner and bars there's not much else to do after diving. The other big attraction there is windsurfing.

Curacao has similar diving but there are differences. A few more wrecks, the Mushroom Forest is different than anything you'll see on Bonaire, and a lot more to do topside.

My preference would be two weeks in Bonaire followed by a week on Curacao.
