it depends were you are in the United States. I know that from Dallas, Texas to Miami, Florida to San Juan to Bonaire is about $300 per person one way as of now. Figure the flights directly from Miami would cost a bit less maybe. From northern United States cities the rates would probably be more.
Delta has direct flights from Atlanta. I think Continental has flights from Newark and Houston. The Delta flight has great times of arrival in and departure from BON.
Prices from the US to Bonaire fluctuate greatly and sometimes it seems as if it is all random. We are paying more for our flights this summer than we are for our flights at Christmas ... go figure! You can fly Continental from Newark or Houston so if you can connect to either of those cities that is a possibility. Those are weekend only flights. Delta did have two flights a week but was thinking of dropping one and may have already done so. You can connect on American Airlines from San Juan though the flight gets in late in the evening and leaves early in the morning from Bonaire. This flight is a small "prop jet." Another option is to fly from Miami to Curacao on American Airlines and then book a flight to Bonaire on Divi Divi (7 seater) or DAE (prop jet).
Here are your choices (AFAIK):
a) AA via SJU (three or four days a week)
b) CO va EWR (one day a week)
c) CO via IAH (one or two days a week)
d) AA via MIA to CUR and then a $110 rt flight on Divi Divi to BON (7 days a week). Take the am flight to CUR and the pm flight to MIA
e) Delta via ATL (one day a week)
ReefDiva is correct about prices. Here is what I have found from SEA, from least expensive to most: d, a, c, b, e
Of course, from Sweden I would go to Amsterdam and then take the non-stop on KLM. While I don't suggest it, you can fly to AUA and go from there as well.
