New Nonstop To Bonaire From Houston Yipee

[dvrliz1]

Pretty close Damsel, I think the plane depart Houston 11:30 pm and arrive in Bonaire at 6:15 am. The return flight leaves 8:00 am and returns into Houston at 10:50 am They are offering a price of $491.65 including taxes.

The Fort Lauderdale flight non-stop to Bonaire will be departing at 1:00 pm with an arrival at 3:50 pm. The departure flight back to FLL will leave at 5:00 pm or there abouts. We are hoping for a start date about the same as Continental. Unfortunately you will not be able to book on the major sites such as travelocity, cheaptickets, expedia, etc. Once everything is firmed up we will let you know prices and dates and where to book. We will have a couple of 800 numbers in the US, a website and email address.

yeah I see it comes up with 11:30pm on Continental website. (And $940 from Boston, ouch.)

Boston to Houston to Bonaire isn't the shortest route The price and route aren't bad from KC (about the same as American right now).

I've heard if you take some melatonin, cough medicine, and a drink (at roughly the same time), you should be able to sleep on the plane (11:30 - 6AM) and not get jet lag (via my wife who travels to Europe a few times a year). That would get you an extra day of diving. Still, I do like the FLL to Bonaire projected times better.

It sounds like my only options for a FALL05 trip are American or Aruba and then BonaireExcel.

Couldn't resist the new Continental - Bonaire deal! We booked our airfare today as well as our reservation for Deep Blue View ..... two weeks in Bonaire!! Only one big problem .... it's not till next year!

Great Kat...Damsel, you will be able to take advantage of the Fort Lauderdale flight cheaper. Also better times.
