An airfare deal from Continental Airlines can make 2010 visits to Utah perfectly affordable.

The carrier offers a heavily discounted rate of $89 one-way to Salt Lake City on trips finished on or before Dec. 8 ($108.90 including all taxes, fees).

Rules are fairly simple with a necessary ten-day advance purchase notice. This special rate is not valid on Fridays or Sundays. One plus: no blackout dates to avoid.

But don't delay on a ticket purchase. This sale has no ticket-by date which means the offer could vanish in hours.
