I have been watching flights for months for our November trip and they haven't gone down in price at all. I am worried that the flight we want will sell out so I guess we are just going to have to suck it up and buy the tickets. I have NEVER paid so much before and it kills me to have to pay this much but what can you do. We have to travel on a Saturday and return on a Sunday this time, which we never do, and also will be there the week of Thanksgiving so I believe these factors are driving up the prices. Oh well... _________________

Ouch! Hate it when that happens.
I've been watching fares for early Nov. They're down to $533 if we fly in on Sunday but we'd prefer to arrive on Friday so going to hold off a bit and watch since the flight looks wide open on Friday. _________________ ~Amy~®

Ours are over $900 each! OUCH! The seats are filling up too that's why I am worried about waiting too much longer. _________________

Wow....I could fly to Europe for that price!
Personally, I wouldn't pay that to go to Aruba (unless it's First Class) but that's just me. _________________ ~Amy~®

Unfortunately it's the only week we can go this year...my husband only gets TWO weeks of vacation and he's already used 7 of those days in March when we went to Hawaii. SO he only has 3 days left. If we go the week of Thanksgiving he only has to use the 3 days he has left. It really stinks because I get 6 WEEKS!
Next year I am hoping to earn a free trip to Aruba in February so that will be nice! _________________

That totally stinks. We go the week after Thanksgiving and pay around $500 ea. Sometimes a bit less. _________________

I feel your pain, Sasha! It seems rates never go down when you're waiting! And a Thanksgiving is a high time.
I now only use JetBlue, that will give me a credit if the rate goes down ! _________________ Christmas 2015 at Disney World!

I have been flying JetBlue too. I purchase my tickets on the day the date for me became available. For my Oct trip, I bought in Feb for $440 pp with taxes. I'm a happy camper!
