Voice of Travelers to Oranjestad

Holiday rest in Oranjestad.

I am John, a graduate student from University of Kansas. Last week, I took a break from school work and decided to visit my childhood friend who had relocated to Oranjestad. I bought my ticket online after a referral from a family friend on where to get the cheapest ticket to Oranjestad. The cheapest ticket to Oranjestad was by Delta Airlines compared to ticket by other airlines.The airlines was a pet friendly and accepted vaccinated cats and dogs thus I bought a ticket for my dog Jessey. As a student with a travel ticket, the airline allowed free check-in for the first and second bags and only charged for the third bag. Delta is not my favourite travel airline but the travel experience with the airline to Oranjestad was generally awesome. I am planning to travel to Oranjestad again this summer for my friend birthday party before resuming studies and I am sure to I will still buy Delta's ticket to Oranjestad.

Couple vacation to Bahamas through Oranjestad

I am Karen from England. Last month, my boyfriend and I spent our vacation in Bahamas. We traveled to Oranjestad by air and boarded Oranjestad Cruise to Bahamas. We searched online for the cheapest ticket weeks prior our departure to Oranjestad and the cheapest air ticket to Oranjestad was by Aruba Airlines. One of the travel agents had advised us that ticket to Oranjestad is cheap six weeks before your travel time and that it is advisable to purchase your ticket six weeks before traveling. As a couple traveling to Oranjestad, the airline also offered us a 8% discount on the ticket we bought. We booked in advance the ticket to Bahamas and on reaching Oranjestad we spent a day on the Oranjestad before departing to Bahamas. The travel experience by air to Oranjestad and the cruise to Bahamas was brilliant, the attendants were friendly and ready to help, great food and drinks that was satisfying to everyone. We are planning to have our honeymoon this time in Caribbean and we will still buy Aruba's ticket and use Oranjestad - Bahamas itinerary.
