Although this is my first time posting, I have used the board and links before and it has been very helpful, Thanks to ALL. I found some air miles to Aruba in January and booked a flight. I am planning on taking the flight to Curacao for a few days as well, I have no real agenda so I will be able to move my dates around and will be looking for 4 star, no preference where. I started the other day in the 90 dollar range, I am thinking it will be a late booking as it is in season, but still a little slow down there ( according to the small airline company going to Curacao ) I will keep you posted if I win at a good price or have to cancel the trip. The rack rates are crazy expensive, and I will use price lines pre negotiated deals as a starting point. Happy holidays to all Joe
