I have been watching flights for months for our November trip and they haven't gone down in price at all. Crying or Very sad

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. Sad

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.

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! Shocked

Personally, I wouldn't pay that to go to Aruba (unless it's First Class) but that's just me.

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 !
