From December 12 2023, flights once a week will depart from Toronto on Tuesdays, and return flights from Bonaire on Wednesdays. The flight is just over 5 hours long.

Bonaire is located in theLeeward Antillesin the Caribbean Sea, just above South America but beneath the hurricane belt. With globally-acclaimed shore diving and wind surfing, the island attracts adventure-seekers from all over.

Bonaire is also the "B" of the"ABC Islands", which consists of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. Unlike its neighbours, Bonaire is much quieter in comparison.

With far fewer annual tourists, the lesser-known tropical island is touted for its authenticity, with a lack of chain stores or traffic lights.

For now, WestJet's direct flights will only be offered seasonally throughout the winter. You can already book flights onlinedirectly on their website.
