Getting around the ABC's
 

Jumping between the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao can be a real challenge.  I think the reason why Bonaire and Curacao are still fairly "undiscovered" is because of the effort it takes to get to those islands.

There is only one airline, Bonair Express, that flies between all three of the islands.  The airline is fairly dependable, but it is quite a challenge to book reservations.  (At least it was as of Oct 2005).

Bonaire Express has a website which will show the flight schedules, but they don't have a site which allows for online booking. 

We tried booking the flights through travel agents in the U.S. but were told that they did not accept U.S. travel agent bookings.  So I called them directly in Curacao and made our reservations.  The phone number for the Bonaire location is   (+) 599- 717-8581.

They gave me a confirmation number which I then used when I arrived on the islands.  They did not take credit cards or travelers checks so we arrived with $400 of USD cash to pay for the tickets.  ($200 per person to fly from Aruba, then to Curacao, and then back to Aruba)  Each flight is about $70 or so.

All of the flights were on time and we didn't have any problems with the reservations.  There is another airline called Divi Divi which we hear is very dependable.  They fly back and forth from Bonaire and Curacao.  Their website is http://www.baibini.com/
