Is $1,000 for United to Bonaire in June going to drop??

Google Flights is your friend. Here is my itinerary which I have set as one of my home page tabs in Chrome, and it opens whenever I open the browser. So far the price has varied by one dollar since I started tracking a couple of weeks ago. YYC-EWR-BON
I will not be in a panic to book for a few months yet.

That's a good airfare from Calgary. More than twice as far as I fly to Bonaire from Atlanta for about the same price. Also a good cents-per-mile deal on the airmiles, if you get those.

I haven't been to Bonaire for about 8 years and have a trip planned for 3 weeks, leaving the middle of June. I plan to fly United out of Milwaukee with layover in Houston as I did many years ago, but I am shocked that the prices are still so high. I check daily and it has come down some, but right now less than 2 months out, tickets are still over $1,000 each.

Since I haven't bought tickets to Bonaire in over eight years, I am wondering if I should just lock in and get my tickets at this price or wait for them to drop.

Does anybody have any idea of prices usually get much lower? I don't really want to wait too much longer. I already have my accommodations booked.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

The prices are indeed VERY high. Load the dates you wish on Hopper or Yapta and get notified when they drop. I found 790 24 June - 8 July for clients departing from BOS.

The price dropped today to $848 Canadian per person so I jumped on it. I think the flight from Newark to Bonaire was reduced.

Ended up skipping again this year....did Belize last month and doing Little Cayman in October. Next year I will go ahead and pay the higher price.

We are having the same problem, no flights on Delta and United is a deal killer (travel dates Oct 21st thru the 29th, LIT to BON) hope delta adds some flights but getting worried they won't.

Update:

On May 2, I purchased my tickets (departing June 17) for $930 per ticket (Milwaukee to Bonaire via Houston) United. I just checked and same ticket is now $750. When I bought the tickets a few weeks ago I just wasn't comfortable with waiting any longer for the price to go down. I I already had my accommodations booked and didn't want to be stressed worrying that the flight might fill.

I am pretty sure after spending three weeks this summer in Bonaire after our eight year hiatus I'm going to want to go back again next year. I guess I just have to plan On it being an expensive trip.

Thanks again for all the advice everyone offered,

The Sunday flights usually start mid December iirc. Last year the Saturday morning flight from LIT got to ATL with less than an hour to spare, so we flew to ATL Friday night instead

I just booked my first trip to Bonaire. I paid 639 RT DEN to BON on United thru Houston. I thought that was a good price.

Load your flights on Hopper and Yapta and watch the prices fluctuate. ITA Matrix is another good search engine. Tricky to navigate but...
