Once the Airtran and Jet Blue fights go active, prices should drop from a lot of markets.

VERY similar to Jet Blue. Headquarters in Orlando, Atlanta is their biggest hub.
"AirTran Holdings Inc. is the parent company of AirTran Airways, a commercial airline based in Orlando, Fla. AirTran is a low-cost carrier that operates more than 700 flights a day to more than 50 cities, with a route network centered around its hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. AirTran operates a fleet of about 140 jets, all of which are Boeing 717s or Boeing 737s. It made more than $1.8 billion in gross revenue in 2006. AirTran is currently the third-busiest carrier at Orlando International Airport.

The company was founded in 1992 as ValuJet Airlines and nearly collapsed following the May 11, 1996 crash of ValuJet Flight 592 in the Florida Everglades, which killed all 110 people onboard. On July 10, 1997, ValuJet acquired Orlando-based AirTran Airways and subsequently assumed the smaller company's name.

AirTran's chairman is Joe Leonard, and its chief executive officer is Bob Fornaro. It is a publicly held company and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AAI."

Tampa-Miami-Aruba on AA. Sunday-Sunday for $900 w/taxes for 2 people in May 2010. Better than the $1165 total for last May. Used FF miles to upgrade to business/1st. Now they charged $50 pp each way to redeem points! Hopefully this will be the last trip with AA

Just bought tickets for Jan 6th to Jan 20th 2010 paid $406 (tax included) per non-stop round trip on United via Washington Dulles to Aruba.

Lowest I have ever paid in my 7 trips there.
