Hi folks,

Two years ago, my wife and I took a non-stop from Dulles (IAD) (Washington, DC area) to Aurba and back in early May. This year we have not been able to find a non-stop from IAD to AUA and back.

Does anyone have any inside scoop about this? Does United plan to add a non-stop for May? Have they ceased this flight?

Thanks!

Have you checked the weekend non-stop on Air Tran to Aruba?

Thank you for that link. I saw that earlier but still cannot book through United's website for this non-stop that's supposed to exist. Perhaps we have to wait until March to book it?

I looked at Air Tran and the only non-stop from our area is from BWI which is about an hour away. We do have some friends that live near there so that is our last option for non-stops.

Thanks again!

It's bookable as of now. I just looked at May 5 - May 12 and it's $503.40+ taxes. All-in price is $565.40

EDIT:
It shows a 9:50 AM departure from Dulles.

That is so weird. I just checked and it will let me book a non-stop for Sat-Sat but not Sun-Sun. Still no non-stop available for Sun-Sun.
