Is there a best day to fly into Curacao?

[bcaderunr]

We tried to go this year for our 25th anniversary and had a great flight worked out both ways. Five days later, one leg going down got cancelled and everything fell apart. I know starting from Albuquerque only adds to our challenge but everything has excessive layovers. Is there a particular day of the week where everything lines up better? We are trying again next year.

We found options ABQ_PHX_MIA_CUR
ABQ_DFW_MIA_CUR
ABQ_LAX_MIA_CUR

From NW Montana it's 2 long days and 3 flights to get to Curacao. That's why I stay for 6 weeks! Lol

I tried to reply to two posts at once and that formatting got all messed up.

@bcaderunr found a good option that I would have been interested in but my wife already booked another flight. My wife used to live in ATL and we like that airport. We looked but only found a much more expensive option.

@DirtFish our options aren't as bad as yours but we leave ABQ for PHX in the afternoon, catch a redeye to MIA where we land with three hours to spare for breakfast before a 10am flight to Curacao. About 20 hours all together.

thank God I can get direct flights just about anywhere from Toronto, which is only 45 mins from home. Seeing these trip/flight plans that some of you have to endure is mental.

Except for the part where those expletives cancel your return MIA - ORD leg and you get to overnight in Florida anyway.
