Why are flights to Denver, CO so EXPENSIVE right now

Why are flights to Denver, CO so EXPENSIVE right now?
My family was planning a trip from Illinois to Denver, but recently the flight prices have seemed to shoot up. We've tried looking for flights departing from Indianapolis, Chicago, and St. Louis and they are all about 400 dollars a piece. But the flights seem to get cheaper later in August?? Is there something going on right now in Colorado in these next few weeks that is making flights so expensive???

From the way it sounds, it seems like you are trying to buy a flight that leaves within the next couple weeks. This is when flights are becoming full and there is more demand than there is supply, and ticket pricess tend to rise. It has nothing to do with the destination, but just waiting too long to buy the ticket. For the cheapest prices, book your flight AT LEAST 2 months in advance.

This is how it works: The airline will take all the seats and divide them into "fare buckets". So maybe 30 seats will be in a bucket and they will sell them dirt cheap as long as they are bought x days in advance. The next bucket, maybe 30 seats, is more expensive but they allow flexibility, you can change date. The next bucket, maybe 30 seats, is even more expensive but can be purchased up to the departure date and allow changes. This is a great simplification but basically what the airline will do. They can of course every day change the buckets and transfer seats between them. You will see this on your ticket as booking class: M, X, Y, O, W or similar. Cheap seats are sold first, and then you can find seats in a more expensive fare bucket.

It is not just Denver. Airlines deeply discount tickets for a 14-day advance purchase. I suspect that you are trying to make reservations for inside the 14 days. Try using Southwest out of Midway airport in Chicago, or St. Louis or Indianapolis. They have a different pricing structure. Decide what days you can all go, and then go to Southwest's website and make your reservations IMMEDIATELY for the time you can all go. Regards, Dan

Well...yes. I own a travel agency...but you have to actually say: What dates of travel (+/- days?), how many people...does the time of day matter? (after 8pm because your still working that day, arrive in the morning because you have a meeting later....back on Sunday by 6pm so you have sleep before work on Monday?!?!?) How many people? non-stop, or change of planes okay? etc etc etc With more info...you can get more help.

Regarding flight, you just missed an awesome promo with expedia. However, you can still save some money with hotels, coupons and what not. You can find hotel deals, free coupons, and a lot more info at http://www.mycheapvegas.com Cheers!

Jet blue always has deal to Vegas and I saw a 4 day/ 3 night to Las Vegas 99.00

The earlier you book the cheaper the tickets. There are really only two places to look for tickets, Southwest.com and everywhere else. Southwest is the only place that you can buy their tickets. Everywhere else will have the same prices because airlines do not discount to anyone anymore. Using a site like Expedia, orbits, etc. might save you a bit because they will check prices on mulitiple airlines for the round trip. In other words, you might fly there on United but return on Delta. Be aware of departure and arrival times. If possible, try to get non-stop if possible.

Good question that you ask; however, there are some basic questions that have not been answered(I am Owner of a Travel Agency): 1-Dates of departure and arrival? 2-How many are going? 3-Do you and any others travelling with you have your passports and other travel documents in order? Minor issues but important because it will simplify your travel plans. Flights from Lagos to Indianapolis are available at this time. For more details, kindly either e-mail me at: indysteve1563@yahoo.com or IM me through Yahoo Messenger.

I would start by pulling up the Websites of the different airlines and filling in the trip details and they will let you know if and when they have flights there.
3 :
check this website, it will give you by plane car or ship..www.69mena.com

There is an airline that is fairly cheap. You'd have to catch a flight from Indy to JFK airport though. You can get those pretty cheap though. Just go to http://www.northamericanair.com/ They have flights pretty cheap. It'll take you into Lagos, though. Not sure if that's where you wanted to go. You can also check out the travel sites like Expedia, Cheap tickets, Orbitz, etc... Good luck!

fly from abuja to london, ($936 per person round trip on british airways) then fly from london to chicago(AA airlines). stop there. then go from chicago to indianapolis (AA airlines) i found these flights on yahoo farechase. it totals up to about $1400 roundtrip per person. Æ

To make a few stops might make it cheaper, first from Indianapolis to London, then Virgin Nigeria to Lagos, and Virgin Nigeria to Abuja. Don't use any other domestic airline in Nigeria though, they are not good quality.

contact the airport in Indy.... http://www.indianapolisairport.com/

First find out which airline it was. Then you'll be able to search for flights like that. Usually the same flights run every day so if you search one leaving Accra today and arriving tomorrow, it should be the same as yesterday. Chances are it will be arriving soon, if it was an overnight flight.
3 :
Do you know which airline? I know North American air which flies into JFK has tracking online; they depart Accra on Sundays at noon. Not sure about any of the others. There is definately no direct flight to Indianapolis so depends on where the connection is, too. Barb
4 :
Try Flight Arrivals' website. You can search by destination airport (but only within 6hrs of current time) and you can "follow" the flight's progress inbound.

Connecting flight luggage question

Connecting flight luggage question?
I'm travelling from Indianapolis to JFK to Kuwait. I booked my domestic flight from Indianapolis to JFK separately (via Delta) from my JFK to Kuwait flight (via Kuwait Airways). So, my two connecting flights were booked separately and there are from different airlines. My question is -- Will I be able to check-in my luggage at Indianapolis airport directly to Kuwait? I was told that travelling from Terminal 3 to 4 in JFK is a real pain especially since I have two big suitcases. Also, what about luggage allowance? Delta only allows a traveler to check in one baggage free of cost but Kuwait Airways allows two. Will Delta allow me to check in both baggage free of cost since I have international connecting flight?

If you show your itinerary to DL in IND, you **may** be able to check bag thru. You will have to pay for any bag you check on DL--your DL ticket is sold under domestic terms & conditions!

I don't think you will have any luck at all here. Delta and Kuwait Airlines are not in the same Alliance and they do not code share as far as I can tell. I am certain that Delta are going to charge you for the extra case too. No good news, sorry
