Typical Airfares to Aruba?
 

I am considering going to Aruba in December from Chicago and am wondering how I find out what a *good* airfare is? The price currently is around $500 Sat-Sat. Does anyone know if that is typical or how to go about getting better pricing?

Most times when you buy a package you get good airfare from agent. Try contacting Travel Unlimited at http://www.travelunlimited.com they have some great rates for Aruba.

I have been checking the internet every other day for over 2 months for good flights out of Chicago and ATA has $663.25. United had a $712.25 flight. Delta had a nice flight and sometimes it was $663, today it was $815. That time of year is expensive. I just got a price from my travel agent for over $800 for a direct Charter flight. <BR><BR>Anyway, my dilegence has paid off, I got on expedia.com last night and found a US Airways flight for an unbelievable $359. I think it was a fluke because I looked for it again this morning and it's not there. You may want to keep checking Expedia and Travelocity every day, you may get lucky! Good luck!

Esther:<BR><BR>Hope you have been reading about the serious financial straits US AIR is experiencing. You may want to reconsider your choice of airlines.

$500 is a good price, though not an awesome one. You could do a lot worse. As stated previously, air/hotel package pricing may come out lower.<BR><BR>I wouldn't be too worried about booking a USAir flight for 2 to 3 months from now, considering the usual pattern of events in major airline bankruptcies. I would hesitate to book USAir 10-11 months out, however.<BR><BR>

USAir is expected to be out of Chapter 11 by the end of the first quarter of 2003. You will be fine booking with them and flying with them.

When we fly to Curacao or Bonaire, we fly Air Jamaica. Go to these web sites for more info incl air fares: www.maduro.com and www.worldive.com
