Through midnight, tonight (3/17) purchase tickets from Frontier Airlines to Salt Lake City at rates from $134 each way. This sale rate is valid any day of the week, based on sale seat availability on trips started on or after April 1 and finished on or before April 30.
With a ten-day or more advance notice, travel with Continental Airlines to Salt Lake City at rates from $179. This special deal is valid any available day of the week through February 11, 2012. There is no ticket-by date on this offer -- act fast!
Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act quickly to make your purchase. I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly. You can also search for the sale at travel Web sites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc. Airlines can discontinue or pull a sale price without notice when the offer is deemed "sold out,"or when that rate does not have a "ticket-by" date.
