Tips to get a cheap ticket to Aruba

With that many airlines offering flights to Aruba, getting a cheap ticket is just a matter of timing. Here are some tips to find cheap airfare to Aruba:

  • Try to fly to Aruba during the shoulder season, which is in early December and early April. The peak season is represented by Christmas and New Year, while the high season lasts until March. Flying during the shoulder season means you get better prices while still enjoying the nice weather.
  • If you depart from a city close to New York, it’s worth it to look into JetBlue’s flights. Although they are very cheap compared to other airlines, you can get a good deal even during the high season.
  • Try to fly on Tuesday or Wednesday to grab a cheaper flight, mostly if you book closer to the departure date.
  • Book as early as possible if you want to get a good deal on the weekend flights.
