Can you tell me how you travel from the UK to Aruba? My son is in Wales working and would love to come and join us in March but been having a hard time finding flights...

Thanks in advance

Use the drop down menu to view the airlines that service Aruba.
Ryan International (UK) has, I think, directs from Manchester (UK) international airport.
UK > USA > ARUBA
Virgin/AA, Continental, AA, Delta
KLM also, UK flights may have a pit stop in Miami.
I think there is a direct (from the Netherlands (?)).
An Alternate - KLM to Bonaire, Tiara Bonaire to Aruba
From the UK, take the train through the chunnel over
to the Netherlands (some transfers maybe required).

Also, check out Martin Air. I think I read somewhere that it is
returning to Aruba service.

hth

First Choice Holidays fly out of London Gatwick and Manchester between April and October and offer both 14 night holidays and 'Flight Only' options. If you leave it quite late you can get some quite good deals on both. In October we got a 2 week deal staying at the Holiday Inn at Palm Beach for £525 for each person from Gatwick (Room Only).

If you want a longer stay then another alternative is to get a cheap Easyjet flight for £60 to Amsterdam and then fly KLM to Aruba. If you time it right you could get flight costs down to £550.

Hope this helps....

Hi

I live close to Manchester and we are flying out to Aruba on the 21st July for two weeks and staying at the Tam. The Tam is exclusive to first choice in the UK. Not sure about down south but flights from Manchester travel out every two weeks direct to Aruba (9 hour, 45 min flight) If you have any other questions about any arrangements we have made just email me. All of you in America are so lucky that you are so close and dont have to endour the flight time and the massive expensive! LOL It will be my first time in Aruba but i am sure it will be worth every penny or cent!
