Regional carrier Winair is making it even easier to visit the buzzing Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao. 

Winair, which is based in St Maarten, is adding more flights between St Maarten and Curacao this summer. 

The carrier is adding four more weekly flights between St Maarten and Curacao, adding to existing daily service.

That opens up Curacao to St Maarten’s broad network of connections from across Europe and the continental United States — meaning you can fly to St Maarten and then hop on a flight to Curacao. 

“We are happy we were able to add the additional flights this quickly to keep up with the great demand for flights this vacation season,” said Edwin Hodge, Winair’s director of operations, in a statement provided to Caribbean Journal. 

So how much does it cost? 

One-way flights between St Maarten and Curacao start at $197, with round-trip fares beginning at $259.
