Is the name of the game in air fares. For example, Delta's fares during the week, when there is no competition to Aruba, are astronomical.
If you fly on a day of the week during which Delta has competition from Spirit or Air Tran (soon to be Southwest)you will find a much cheaper fare. We have not been able to take advantage of Air Tran or Spirit's lower fares because we chose to stay more than 7 or 8 nights. As of right now, Air Tran and Spirit fly weekends only.
If you go to this link and click on March you will see weekday fares range $812 to $832. Notice how much they drop on weekends?
I priced out SATURDAY December 17 -SATURDAY December 24 on Delta vs. Air Tran
$487.10 Delta
$527.10 Air Tran
My advice, if you are going to stick with Delta, is to get a SkyMiles AMEX and use it as much as possible. This year we traveled on two frequent flier tickets and the third was "pay with miles" which, if you have the card, permits you to pay part miles and the rest cash. OR wait for a sale... right now there is a Delta sale for $367.10
