[Award Alert] Fly to Bonaire From 7.5K Points — One of the Caribbean’s Best Diving Destinations

Bonaire has long been considered one of the best scuba diving destinations in the world. Located in the southern Caribbean, just north of Venezuela, the small Dutch island is famous for its vibrant coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and easy shore diving, which allows divers to explore dozens of sites directly from the beach.

We’re seeing wide-open award space on the only U.S. nonstop flight to Bonaire (BON) from Miami (MIA) starting at just 7,500 Alaska Atmos Rewards points one-way. Even better, you can connect from many other U.S. cities — sometimes for no additional charge or just a few thousand points more.

Here’s how you can book it.

Award Deal — The Details

If you’re looking to visit one of the world’s top scuba diving destinations, you’re in luck. We’re seeing wide-open award availability on American Airlines from Miami (MIA) to Bonaire (BON), with the ability to connect from other U.S. cities, starting at just 7,500 Alaska Atmos Rewards points one-way in economy.

For example, with this award deal, you can book this 3-plus-hour flight in economy from Miami to Bonaire for only 7,500 Atmos Rewards points in economy one-way or 15,000 in business.

For a bit more, you can also book the exact same flight with American Airlines AAdvantage miles — rates starting at 8,000 miles in economy and 20,000 in business class.

Even if you’re not based in Miami, this award alert is still incredibly useful. Alaska’s Atmos Rewards program allows travelers to connect from other U.S. cities — sometimes for free or just a few thousand points more — making it easy to reach Bonaire from across the country.

How To Book

Redeeming Alaska Atmos Rewards Points is the best way to book this deal. However, earning Alaska points can be difficult.

The fastest way to earn Alaska points is by using an Alaska Airlines credit card, but you can also earn points by shopping through the Atmos Rewards Shopping portal, dining at restaurants that participate in Atmos Rewards Dining, or flying with Alaska’s Oneworld partners. You can also transfer points from Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy.

If you prefer to redeem American Airlines AAdvantage miles, you can book these flights that way as well — and even transfer Citi ThankYou Rewards to top off your balance. You can also earn AAdvantage miles through American Airlines co-branded credit cards or transfer Marriott Bonvoy points at a 3:1 ratio.

Final Thoughts

Getting to Bonaire for as few as 7,500 Atmos Rewards points is an incredible deal for a Caribbean flight. Whether you’re heading there to explore its world-famous reefs or simply looking for a laid-back island that hasn’t been overrun by tourists, this sweet spot makes visiting Bonaire surprisingly affordable with points.
