I just got a hit from my OGS for Aruba in September, 2021. We usually travel on Southwest however they are not showing any travel that far out. All fares seem to be so high on other airlines. Any suggestions or your experience of travel to Aruba. I can wait a few months to check out Southwest but would really appreciate any experiences you have of had.

American should have non stop from PHL and LGA
Delta and Jet Blue from JFK
United from EWR

Jet Blue has had some reliability issues. Canceling flights unexpectedly and without reason. My preference is always non stop and I am willing to pay a bit more for that.

We flew American in January and they were good and the cheapest at the time.

In that case you just have to fly with who goes there, right?
Enjoy your trip!

I would wait for SWA to release there fares. They are flying to Aruba again already, so very little risk they won't have flights. Just plan to book on the day the fares are released.

Amazing, thanks! Over the years I've seen Southwest push the opening date later, but I've never seen them open it earlier.

I've only seen the April 1 date. Maybe all of the new routes they annouced recently prompted the move?
