We are planning to be in Aruba for the Thanksgiving week this year. I have been watching airfare from Washington DC to AUA and it is CRAZY- $1300+ fro non-stop flights. Anyone have any advice for me?

Nonstop flights BWI to AUA the days before the holiday are around $300 (more or less depending on time and day of week). Return nonstop flights are a bit higher (up to $500), but round-trip flights less than $1000 are available.
If it were me, I would book the outbound flight, monitor for lower rate (since they allow changes with no fees), rebook outbound flight if it goes lower, book return flight at least 2 months out, monitoring for lower fare every few days (especially Tuesday afternoons and Fridays)
FYI I've changed one flight on a roundtrip Southwest booking. You just select which one you want to change.This is why I LOVE South West!!!
Plus I always book as two one ways rather than a round trip so I have the option to change one and not the other.
