US Airways and American has a good fare to Aruba for Summer travel. The downside is that many dates require an overnight layover. We are only showing availability for dates without the overnight layover.
This does not meet our 6 cents per mile criterion. Just a good fare for Summer travel.
Update 6/15/2015 @ 3:36PM Eastern – from New York [JFK], jetBlue has a $303 nonstop fare.

I used google flights to search for SFO to Aruba and found a $314 fare on AA from Friday July 31st to Saturday August 8th (both have overnight layovers in CLT). Good luck!
