Considering Travel to Curacao? Airfares to Curaçao Drop Drastically

May 8, 2008 – Flights to Curaçao on Continental Airlines will be slashed to an incredibly low $378* roundtrip in June… just as Uncle Sam sends home anticipated tax rebate checks. The five-hour direct flight will save travelers to Curaçao over $100 per ticket and comes as millions begin to receive their stimulus checks from the federal government. Curaçao, with its Dutch influence and perfect Caribbean weather, offers Americans the unique chance to experience European culture in an island environment and the US dollar stretches further on Curaçao, trading at $1 US for 1.77 Netherlands Antillean Guilders (the local currency).

In addition, visitors looking to spend a week on the island are invited to visit www.Curacaosave.com to receive an instant $140 credit to spend on dining and other activities on the grounds of their preferred resort or hotel. In light of recent downturn in the US economy, 5 hotels in Curaçao are giving a Book Now credit bonus to guests when they book a 7-night stay before August 17.

With its pristine diving locations, secluded beaches, championship golf course, and amazing world-class fishing, Curaçao offers a little something for everyone – from the adventure traveler to those who simply want to unwind and enjoy its perfect climate. Curaçao boasts an eclectic mix of history and culture, which welcomes people to this special island paradise.

Easy daily arrivals into Curaçao are also available on American Airlines connecting through Miami. Delta also offers weekly service, connecting more than 40 cities to Curaçao through Atlanta.
