A short ride to neighbour island Curaçao

On Wednesday 27 January I decided in the morning that I shall fly to Curaçao to meet one of my best friends living in the Netherlands. He was visiting Curaçao for the first time and since I moved to the Caribbean, unfortunately we do not have the chance to meet often. So just before noon I booked a flight for the afternoon with InselAir. We took off sharp on time at 17:16 and landed at Curaçao on 17:37. At arrival we unfortunately had to cue for immigration for approximately an hour behind the approximately passengers who arrived from Amsterdam just before us with two Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners.

My ride to Curaçao: InselAir Flight 7I 410 ETA 17:15 with Fokker F50 PJ-KVM

While waiting in the bus that would bring us to our aircraft, this Aruba Airlines Airbus A320 P4-AAC arrived from Santo Domingo and Curaçao
