Help! Baggage restrictions to Bonaire

[Rynomar]

I agree with Reefdiva that enforcement is really going to depend on the day, the flight, and the people helping you. It looks like the overage fees are not too bad, but as I said earlier, the planes are small and space is limited so a back-up plan is a good idea.

Another idea for losing some weight is taking synthetic clothes. They usually don't stretch out with wear and dry quickly. If you take two shirts for example, wear one and wash one. By the next day, the second shirt should be dry and clean. You can also flip your underwear inside out and even flip them around backwards if you need to wear them a third day!!

Have fun on the trip.

Thanks, so Rynomar, did you just pony up the bucks for your overage? Scared silly, lol actually I have some pants with about 20 pockets and a shirt with 5, I just dedcided to use all of them. Figure the only thing I won't consider is the prison method - Yuck. I'm curious about the degree of enforcement.

We were able to get all of the luggage on without any additional fees. My father-in-law packed all of his necessities (dive gear) into one bag and planned to send the second bag back to the hotel that we were going to be staying at on our return if we had to. Fortunately it turned out ok.

The flights are pretty short so you plan to load up your pockets should be fine and you won't have to suffer too long. I have done alot of interesting things to bring along dive gear, but I agree that you should stay away from any drastic measures like the prison method
