Airfare PHX-AUA-PHX 6/3-11

[hsinaz]

Hi Noob here and glad I found this forum Lots of useful info. Thanks u guys!

This would be our first trip to Aruba (using Interval TS into La Cabana Beach Club 6/4-6/11.

Trying to maintain a fairly tight budget , was scoping this for a few days and AirTran jumped from $550 rt/pp to $630rt/pp this AM (Feb 1). Since 6/4 is our first day at La Cabana and the flights from here leave in the night, I was planning on leaving 6/3 anyway, but to get the $550rt/pp fare on Airtran I would have to move my return to 6/12 instead of 6/11.

For a difference of almost $320 for party of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) any pros and cons of extending the trip by one day, checking out of La Cabana and into another hotel for one night and enjoying Aruba for 1 more day? Is it worth the hassle with luggage/family or just bite the bullet and buy the 6/3-6/11 itinerary for $630 rt/pp

if its cheaper and timing is no issue- STAY!!! stay the xtra day, you will not want to leave
its a small hassle to pack and un-pack, I've done it a few times but you also get to check out a another hotel, beach, pool, etc. The hotel will hold your bags for the few hours between check-out and check-in and you can use all the amentities except for your room.
