Hi All!
Ed and I were deciding if we could afford to go back to the states for the holidays as we have not been back in 5 years.
Well, wow!!!!
We decided to go back Thanksgiving week as Christmas time is the start of high season on the island. This is what we found:
For those of you familiar with Spirit Airlines (they fly out of the smaller airports), We got a flight Sat-Sat Thanksgiving week for $450.00 out of Aruba. We got a great connection times from Bonaire to Aruba on DAE for $200.00. We are flying into Atlantic City (my family is all in south jersey...for those of you that under stand off the GSP exits 58-34...lol)
I did also find AMAZING fares on Continental for Christmas week. Out of Newark you can get a RT ticket to Bonaire for $587.80 which includes taxes and out of Houston $664.30 which also includes taxes, etc.
These are amazing prices as last year Christmas week was anywhere between $850 and $1,100 RT easy.
Spirit is also having great sales right now, so check them out as well at Spirit Airlines - cheap tickets, cheap flights, discount airfare, cheap hotels, cheap car rentals, cheap travel. You do have to pay for luggage and if you want to pick your seat ahead of time, but even with those extra costs, they are cheaper than the major airlines at the holiday time.
Well just thought I would share some of the flight information I found while I was searching for our own.....
