Flamingo airport is a real cute little airport that is very easy to get in and out of.
It was all open air when we were there, with a small gift shop and a currency exchange booth.
The airport has gone through a remodel and looks great!
They have flights from Houston, Newark, San Juan, Amsterdam, Lima, Caracas, and a few other places.
They are raising the departure tax in 2007 to $32USD per person.

Right now you just have five airlines serving the island: KLM for flights to and from Europe and South America, American Eagle to/from Puerto Rico, Air Jamaica to/from Montego Bay, Bonairexel to/from Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten and Divi Divi to/from Curacao.
There is a departure tax of 5,75 US$ for flights to Aruba and Curacao and 20US$ for all other destinations.
There is NO ferrry service between Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba or Venezuela.
To get around Bonaire it's best to hire a car, scooter or bike. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: +599 717 5600 (Airport)

Netty is a nice local lady who has a professionally run business. Located at the airport with the other car rental shops, the pick-up we rented was competitively priced and brand new. Leave a Comment

 The red truck by kyoub
Was we going to the National Park? Yes
Then we needed a truck.
So a truck it was, a red truck, just like everyone else was driving. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The other option is via American Airlines. American flies through San Juan, Puerto Rico. Their flights tend to leave US later in the day, and don't get you to Bonaire until late in the evening. But it may still be more convenient for some.
And if you're flying from Europe, KLM has 2! DC10 flights from Amsterdam every day. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Island hopping by kyoub
I expected a small baggage limit but we were allowed 44 lb so no problem there. Leave a Comment

Bonaire is 40 miles north of Venezuela -- very much the South Caribbean.
In general, my friends had a truck and they did most of the driving. However, I rented a moped after a couple days, and that was fantastic. I wasn't going anywhere in a hurry -- EVER -- so a moped was fun! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
