If you can wait...try to!! We own a t/s in November and every year I need 5+ tickets (last time is was 11). May is when they usually go on sale! We live at the Jersey Shore and have flown out of PHL 85% of our Aruba trips! Lately I've noticed that EWR is cheaper though! (they even did an article about me in the NY Times referring to how I travel the extra 1/2 hour to PHL due to big price difference) But that seems to be in the past!
Start keeping an eye out for the prices to go lower and lower for Fall/Winter travel during the month of May and could go into June! I know your eager but its worth the wait! The only suggestion I may have for buying them now is try to get a AA ticket and if the price goes down they will reimburse your credit card! All the other airlines will only issue you vouchers for future travel.
I've been doing this for 6 or 7 years now and its always works out! Do remember though that airfare has gone up consideribly due to gas prices so sometimes we can't go on past years!
Last trip we really lucked out!! $297.77 per person round trip! Year before 303.00 and so on! At this time in our little recession I would consider anything under 425.00/pp!
Good Luck!
