With the winter ski season approaching, many are planning trips to the renowned resorts of the Western United States, particularly in the Rocky Mountain region. Due to lower snowfalls at Northeast mountains, more skiers are heading west for better conditions.

High snowfalls are expected this season in the Rockies, but increased demand is driving up fares, especially during peak periods like Christmas and New Year's. Finding affordable flights can be challenging with numerous airlines serving major gateways such as Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) and Denver International Airport (DEN).

To secure a good deal on flights from high-demand Northeast airports to the Rockies, travelers might need to explore various strategies. For instance, a case study examining flights from New York to Salt Lake City highlights some potential approaches.

Delta Air Lines offers roundtrip tickets from New York to Salt Lake City for around $1,000 during peak travel days. However, third-party online travel agents (OTAs) like Expedia can offer significant savings. A search on Expedia found fares approximately $200 cheaper than Delta's direct offerings.

Budget airlines also provide cost-effective options for these routes. Spirit Airlines' website lists one-stop flights between Newark and Salt Lake City for about $570 on high-demand dates. Southwest Airlines also offers competitive prices when booked directly through their site.

While low-cost carriers typically have the lowest fares, they may not include checked baggage or carry-ons in their base price. Travelers should consider convenience factors such as longer flight times and limited scheduling options when booking with budget airlines.
