WinAir says they will start flying St Martin to Bonaire on July 1.

Playing with their website, it appears to be evening (1715-2015) flights SXM-BON on T,W, F, and Su, and return to SXM in the mornings on W, Th, Sa, and M, i.e. the day following. Cost is about $180-200 one-way, double that RT. Flights midweek are cheaper.

There are LOTS of flights to SXM from the US, at decent prices. For example, from the DC area to SXM is $400-500, depending on the airline.

You can now do the illusive Weds-Weds trip to Bonaire for a reasonable price on reasonable airlines with reasonable baggage policies! Or the even more illusive 10-day trip.
 
I guess if you live close to one of Winair's hub/spoke locations this is a good deal. Their price from where I live is much the same and would add yet another stop on what is already a minimum 3 stop itinerary. Of course the competition can't hurt, but would American decide to go through SXM instead of MIA? Doubtful.

The important thing is you can get to Bonaire on a day other than Saturday.
