Hello Bonaire Fans!
So I'm planning a trip in July and can't seem to find flights home any more that don't require an overnight some where. I'm totally flustered right now and really close to just giving up.
Here is the scenario, any suggestions, ideas, or comments are greatly appreciated.
My trip is 7/21-7/28. I was planning on flying United. I have a $100 credit with them I would like to use, plus I have the mileage card with them. The flight home is forcing me through Newark with an overnight. The "airport hotels" are almost as expensive as a plane ticket. LOL I have found some offsite hotels at reasonable rates, but even though most of them list airport shuttle, I'm finding that they mean JFK, not Newark. I'm to the point of seriously considering just staying over night in the public area of Newark.
I've looked at Delta. They have a flight that would put me at ORD around midnight, but the price is higher, I don't get miles, and I don't have their credit card (do they even offer one?). And yes, looking at baggage and overnight with United, Delta is still slightly higher.
I'm really secretly (ok, not so secretly) hoping that someone on this board will chime in and say - hold on buying tickets. The Houston flight is coming back! Seriously, what happened to flying through Houston? I could always get home from there. It's not like I'm trying to fly to some po-dunk airport. I'm going to Chicago people.
Any ideas?????
