Think snow!
An amazing airfare offer to Denver, Colo. from American Airlines makes the trip affordable for any travel budget at $97.60 one-way.
This deal is good on trips taken through May 24, 2013 -- and on any day of the week. Another bonus: No blackout dates.
So think about taking advantage of this bargain for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years' travel -- or for peak March spring skiing. Normally a round-trip ticket to Denver over holidays and during the most popular weeks averages $350.
To qualify, give a 21-day advance notice of travel.
American serves Denver with one flight connection in Dallas-Fort Worth.
This offer has no ticket-by date which indicates it could expire within hours. Act quickly to make your purchase.
There are a number of local and renowned ski resorts that are within a reasonable distance of Denver International Airport. For instance, Arapahoe is 88 miles outside of Denver, or about a 90-minute drive. Here are some other resort destinations and travel times:
- Echo Mountain, 56 miles
- Eldora, 60 miles
- Loveland, 65 miles
- Winter Park, 85 miles (the Ski Train also connects Denver with Winter Park; www.skitrain.com)
- Copper Mountain is 92 miles, or about a 90-minute drive
- Steamboat, 175 miles
- Aspen Highlands, just over four hours, or 180 miles
- Aspen Mountain is 218 miles from Denver Airport
- Snowmass, 215 miles
- Crested Butte is 250 miles south, or nearly a five-hour drive
Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate.
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 websites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc.
