We are going to Aruba for a week in early February. We have decided to try to get to another island, but we are having problems finding a flight from Aruba to Curacao. Can anyone give us some help?

there is DAE. their website www.flydae.com looks like it is still under construction (no on-line booking yet), but for information and reservation you can contact reservations@flydae.com
There reputation as an airline is (after some start-up trouble) good, the reliability and on time performance high.

Thanks for the information. I have been looking for travel between these islands as well. Any estimate on the cost of a flight? Thanks

I paid NAf. 230 last year (about S 130) for a return trip, not including airport/departure tax. This was for a DAE flight from Curaçao to Aruba. Mind you, the departure tax is high, in total about $ 55 for a return trip.

We will be in Curacao in early December, and are thinking of tacking on a side trip (few days) to Bonaire. Any suggestions on how to get there and a cost estimate (if possible)?

there is an excellent service by DiviDivi air, a small plane (so not much room for luggage) that flies several times a day. I don't know the rate, but it is somewhere between $ 80 - $ 100. Also, the airport tax is much less as for a flight to Aruba, as it is considered a local flight within the Netherlands Antilles (Aruba has a Status Aparte and is no part of the Netherlands Antilles)
