About this corridor

Flying from Austin-Bergstrom International

Austin-Bergstrom International sits about 5 miles southeast of downtown Austin on a former air force base. Southwest carries the most passengers, with American, Delta and United running large operations and British Airways, Lufthansa and KLM flying nonstop to Europe. The single Barbara Jordan Terminal is served by CapMetro Route 20 and the faster Route 100 Airport Flyer, reaching downtown in about 30 minutes for $1.25 — far below the roughly $30 rideshare fare. Fares spike around SXSW in March, ACL in October and the Formula 1 weekend, so avoid those windows for the lowest prices.

Arriving in Aruba

Queen Beatrix International on Aruba is the southern-Caribbean island's only airport, 3 km southeast of downtown Oranjestad. US Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance operates here — passengers clear US immigration before boarding, arriving in the US as domestic flights. Fares peak November–April when northern winters push demand; the rest of the year is significantly cheaper, and Aruba sits south of the typical hurricane belt.
