Top tips for Belgian & Dutch travellers
Are you dreaming of a tropical vacation on Curaçao? With its bright blue sea, sun-drenched beaches, and vibrant culture, this island is an ideal destination. But before you pack your suitcase, it’s time to book your flight tickets. In this article, we share the best tips to find the cheapest flight tickets to Curaçao – for both Belgian and Dutch travelers.
1 Why choose Curaçao?
We have lived on Curaçao for seven years, and this island has conquered our hearts. From the colorful houses in Willemstad to the breathtaking snorkeling spots – Curaçao is a true paradise. For Belgian travellers, the Easter holidays are an ideal travel time: it often falls outside the Dutch school holidays, which means that prices are lower and you can enjoy your holiday longer.
2 5 tips to book cheap airline tickets to Curaçao
Be flexible with travel dates
The price of airline tickets to Curaçao can vary greatly. Use search engines like Trip.com or Google Flights to compare prices across different dates. Look especially outside the peak periods such as the summer and Christmas holidays.
Consider stopovers
Direct flights are often more expensive. By choosing a flight with a stopover (for example, in the United States or another Caribbean country), you often save significantly on your ticket price – and it also makes your trip more adventurous.
Book with TUI, Corendon or KLM
These airlines offer direct flights to Curaçao.
- TUI – often affordable packages with flight and hotel
- Corendon – budget-friendly options, also all-in holidays
- KLM – our personal favorite for its excellent service and reliability, with regular offers
Book smart: 6-8 months in advance, or last-minute
The best deals are often found 6 to 8 months before your departure date, or last-minute. For school holidays, it is wise to book early; For travel outside the holidays, a last-minute offer can be worthwhile.
Compare flights from Belgium and the Netherlands
For Belgian travelers, it is good to consider both flights from Brussels and Amsterdam. The prices can be surprisingly different: sometimes Brussels Airport offers better deals, while Schiphol has more direct options.
3 Sustainable travel: how do you make a difference?
When booking your flight tickets to Curaçao, it is also worth thinking about the environment:
- Opt for direct flights where possible to reduce CO2 emissions
- Take advantage of CO2 compensation programs, such as KLM’s
- Support local businesses and initiatives during your time on the island
