From JetBlue to American Airlines, It’s Getting Even Easier to Visit Bonaire Island 

By: Guy Britton - September 18, 2024

The diving, the food, the desert. Whether you’re off-roading in the Washington Slaagbai park, chasing barracuda in the marine park or dining at one of the world’s top restaurants, Bonaire has bit of something for everyone. 

This upcoming winter season will see the island become even easier to visit, too. 

That’s headlined by a brand-new nonstop flight from New York on JetBlue, which kicks off in November with twice-weekly service on Saturdays and Tuesdays. 

But it’s just part of an even broader flight schedule to the island from major markets like the US, Canada and The Netherlands.

So who’s flying to Bonaire this winter? 

That includes thrice-weekly flights from Miami on American Airlines; twice-weekly flights from Atlanta on Delta; once-weekly service from both Newark and Houston on United Airlines; WestJet’s Wednesday flight from Toronto; and KLM’s daily nonstop service from Amsterdam, among others. 

“The new routes and the increased seat offer have been realized in close cooperation with our partners. Improved and affordable connections between the islands remains a priority and we are seeing the first results,” Bonaire International Airport CEO Maarten van der Scheer told Caribbean Journal. “With this winter schedule we offer a solid network to the community of Bonaire and its visitors.”
