Cheap flights from London to Bonaire

March is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are flexible, build the trip around it. Fares also show up for September, October, November, December, January and May, which means the quiet stretch after the winter holidays and the spring window are both worth comparing before you commit. Midweek departures usually price lower than weekend ones, and since every itinerary changes planes, a cheaper date can still cost you time in a layover. Book a few weeks out rather than months ahead, then check the price calendar again closer to departure, because long-haul fares to the Caribbean move.

The carriers that appear on this route are United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Virgin Atlantic, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Iberia, with Accesrail, BA CityFlyer, Helvetic Airways and Luxair showing up on parts of the journey. Nothing flies nonstop, so you are always connecting, usually through a European hub or a United States gateway. What you get differs by fare and by carrier: the baggage allowance is set per airline rather than per booking, and a connecting itinerary can mix rules, so read the conditions for each leg before you pay.

Every flight into Bonaire lands at Flamingo International, the island's only airport, so there is no second gateway to choose between. Because the route always involves a change of planes, most of the risk sits earlier in the journey than at arrival — build slack into any tight connection rather than into your first evening. Once you are through, taxis and hire cars are the usual ways onward, and booking one before you fly saves time if you land late. Have your accommodation address to hand, and check whether your hotel runs its own pick-up.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Pick your London airport first, because Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City are not interchangeable.
• Check the baggage allowance for each carrier on your itinerary, since it is set per airline, not per booking.
• If you book legs on separate tickets, leave a generous gap, because a missed connection is not protected.
• Look up entry rules for Bonaire and for any country you transit, since you will change planes en route.
• Compare March with the autumn and winter fares before you commit, as March is the cheapest month here.
• Confirm where your layover is and how long the change takes, because every itinerary stops at least once.
