Airport chaos and the cost of flights may be impactful. Anecdotally, I know two couples from the Boston area who switched their vacation plans from SXM to Aruba. I don't understand why the longer flights to Aruba should be so much cheaper than the shorter flights to SXM. But after paying more, you're then faced with a third-world arrival experience. I suspect the supply side of the supply and demand equation weighs heavily on those Aruba flights. They’re running between 3 and 5 daily nonstop flights from BOS to AUA. Compare that to the one nonstop they run on Saturday to SXM.
