As we’ve officially turned the page to June, chances are you’ve already scoped out some awesome vacation options for yourself and loved ones.

What you might’ve missed is quite possibly the most affordable new flight to the Caribbean.

This will be a popular budget airline’s only flight offered to a pristine island packed with lavish resorts, postcard beaches, and its biggest claim to fame, wild flamingos!

With summer in full swing, there’s no better time to make use of your passport for a vacation you’ll never forget. Our writers have been and loved it!

Best of all, with supply and demand typically driving sky-high airfare, promotional offers for this exciting new flight launch are incredibly affordable.

Frontier Airlines is offering one-way flights as low as $109 this summer to celebrate the addition of beautiful Aruba to their international network, already including Nassau, Cancun, and Montego Bay, to name a few.

Budget airlines have been all over the map, not just whizzing through the skies. The industry is shifting with traveler-friendly bag policies, modern amenities, and more legroom (if you can swing the upgrade fees).

Despite United’s CEO Scott Kirby predicting the demise of low-cost carriers, Frontier is still going strong and the proof is in the pudding with new routes being launched.

The inaugural flight already took off last week. There’s no word if it’s a seasonal flight, but seems to be on the books through the rest of 2025.

Travelers can depart weekly on Saturdays from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) with a straight shot to Queen Beatrix International Airport in Oranjestad (AUA).

As mentioned, booking now is a steal of a deal. One-way fares are as low as $109, but must be booked by 11:59 pm Eastern time on June 9, 2025.

Blackout dates are:

  • Select days Aug. 19, 2025, through Nov. 19, 2025
  • specifically Sep. 1, 2025

The Caribbean’s Surging Island! Welcome To Aruba

A few months ago, we covered Aruba’s record-breaking hot streak. The island nation hugging the no-go zones of Venezuela and perhaps the Caribbean’s trendiest vacation spot, Curacao, has been a bright spot for the region as it’s unquestionably safe, largely affordable, and downright gorgeous from the vibrant cityscape of Aruba’s capital, Oranjested, and numerous beaches wrapping the island.

Aruba welcomed over 3 million visitors in 2024 and shows no signs of slowing down this year, especially since it’s welcoming new flights.

Beaches couldn’t be prettier here, and that’s obviously one of the main draws. There’s no place like Flamingo Beach, where you guessed it…is the beach home to about a dozen flamingos wandering the coast, but you will need an access pass as the beach is privately owned.

Beyond Aruba’s most unique beach, you’ll find other stunners like Baby Beach and Arashi Beach; both equally great for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters.

Another cool spot is Conchi Natural Pool, a fun spot to wade in the waters of a natural pool. Just know seas can be rough at times!

Want a true hidden gem, though? Aruba may be known for flamingos but they say “birds of a feather flock together”, right?

Check out the Aruba Ostrich Farm, fun for all ages with tours, savory bistro, and bar. Admission is $15.

While airfare is certainly the most affordable factor when traveling to Aruba, grand stays and down-home inns won’t typically break the bank either unless you’re insistent on 5-star luxury.

Take the Caribbean Palm Village Resort, for example. You can score a tropical stay for only $94 per night in July.

Prefer something cozy? Check out Wonders – Boutique Hotel Aruba for a dollar more at $95 per night.

Arubans are known for their welcoming hospitality, so don’t shy away from a laundry list of homey bed & breakfast stays either.

Give Mammaloe’s Aruba – Bed & Breakfast a go in Aruba’s lesser-known countryside or top-rated Aloe B&B in the city — both hovering around the $100 mark.
