I used Expedia and booked with American Airlines. Goes from Turks to Miami and then Miami to Aruba after a layover.

Call a travel agent this is what they are good for. WINair flys all over the area, as well as a few others I should be pretty easy to book a ticket once you get to Turks. I know that American Eagle flys from San Juan to Aruba if that helps.

Shaniacs way is teh suxx ... Miami is a crap airport and you will have to do US customs twice. not to mention you are going around your ass to get to your elbow ... sry shane

Hm maybe I f*d up pretty bad, I did consider seeking out a travel agent, but then just did the lazy expedia thing. Is there definitely a more direct way to get from Turks to Aruba?

You guys are underestimating how small these islands are. A wiki search reveals that the Turks & Caicos only have 30,000 people. There aren't going to be any non-stop flights unless you charter something. (Which might not be a bad idea if there are major tournaments and you can find a bunch of guys). The only airport besides Miami I saw that offer flights to both islands is JFK.

I was wondering if anyone came up with any good info about this. Also, should I be buying in early for these events, and if so, does anyone have links for that kind of stuff? thanks a lot.
