Curacao vs Bonaire

[arew+4]

Care to elaborate on that sentiment?


I think they may have added land sailing during that time. And, maybe a few more restaurants.



We're mostly interested in boat dives, which appear to be more common than Bonaire.


I'm Atlanta based. Getting to Bonaire or Aruba is easy. How are the flights on Divi Divi Air? I seem to remember reading they are quite unreliable. Is that still true?

We fly into Curacao direct out of NYC, it's generally half, occasionally a third of the cost of flying to Bonaire. There are plenty of boat diving opportunities on both islands. Including the east side of Bonaire, and a small island a ways away from Curacao, maybe Klein Curacao?

Oh, they now have direct to Curacao out of NYC??? No more going through Miami? What airlines?

Nice beaches in Curacao with easier entry than Bonaire, but a lot more driving between dive sires. I love both.

Jet Blue,
Really good flight times, and you can't beat the price, this is for the "Blue something Level" includes a carry on.

I am on my mobile now, their site blocks IPs from Libya so can't access it now. I have to get to my laptop with the VPN tomorrow. Many sites in US do that.

JFK would be interesting, but I still need a night before and after with that schedule to get to JFK from where I am in NY (so a flight, train, or something costly as I am 9 hours from JFK)... We do direct out of YYZ (Toronto), going up the night before and driving home the night of arrival back in North America.......

First bag each way is like $30 or $40 each way.
