Flight time from NYC to Aruba

ctmom · 04-06-2008, 10:37 PM

I'm not sure if this is already posted some place. Can someone tell me from experience what the flight time is from JFK to Aruba? I'm hearing from 4 1/2 to 7 hours. That's a HUGE difference. I was thinking more like 4 1/2. If it's more, I need to know so I can prepare my family!!
Thank you...we leave in three days!!

we are leaving out of PHL too but there were no non stop flights heading out.
We have a connecting flight in Charlotte. (we have a 4 hour layover)
and it takes 4 hours from there to get to aruba.

Total time for our flight (almost 9 hours.)

Coming home-- a non stop flight-- 4 1/2 hours.

9 hours total.. that stinks.. would drive me nuts. that was my bggest thing. avoid a long layover somewhere.

I really did try to avoid that layover but there was nothing offered.. well not for a good price.
We paid 314.pp roundtrip- so its not so bad.

My question is- there is only 10 people booked on the flight going down. whats the chance of that being cancelled if no one else books a seat

Sometimes the flight can be 4 1/2 sometimes 5 1/2. Depends on the winds.
