United Airlines has a summer fare sale to Aruba for $317 from many airports across the USA including Los Angeles and San Francisco. This deal requires 14-day advance purchase. The lowest fare schedule from SFO looks to be mostly for evening flights to Newark EWR or Houston IAH with overnight layover of about 8 hours, so the lowest price might not be convenient. There are other itineraries with better schedules for around $100 more round trip.
United.com San Francisco – Aruba AUA
$317.10 round trip July 9-13, 2015
There are several dates in July for longer trips to Aruba. This is simply a fare and itinerary sample showing the bad overnight connections for EWR and IAH. There is a reason this fare is so low from California.
Here is an example with a better itinerary from Los Angeles in August that avoids a long airport overnight, although the outbound is still a red-eye flight to Newark. Not a problem if you plan to spend your first day in Aruba relaxing on the beach and sleeping.
