What is low for Bonaire that you are seeing and from where?
For those of us living in ATL, that same flight ATL-BON is $772 r/t in Basic Economy, or $872 in Main Cabin. Those are what I would call "normal prices" for mid-January--as in, a return to the kind of fares we've seen in years past. Not the crazy fares I've seen more recently.
Half the distance but 50% more.
Keep in mind that this is the only Delta flight leaving BOS that day, and there is only a 40 minute layover in ATL. All other flights that day are AA, and are $3000.00+ per person.
That’s crazy! It’s the same flight that @soldsoul4foos is showing out of BOS! I also noticed that it is the only flight out of ATL to BON that day, which males the 40 minute layover more critical.
It has always been that way. Atlantans are beholden to Delta. If we want to travel somewhere, the most convenient—and sometimes the only—flight is more than likely Delta. A couple of times when my wife and I felt like saying screw you to Delta, we drove a couple of hours from Atlanta to Birmingham, AL, overnighted in a motel, and took a flight from Birmingham connecting through Atlanta to Bonaire. Even factoring in the cost of gas and motel, it was a hundred bucks cheaper per person than taking the same plane but starting in Atlanta.
