Title: PSA: Book your KO3 flights now!
Post by: hchien on August 26, 2013, 07:36:25 am
Airfares are really cheap right now.  I remember reading somewhere that the lowest airfares are 2 or 3 months ahead of time (right now!).  Currently, flights from NYC to Denver on Frontier are less than $300 (including surcharges/taxes).  That's dirt cheap.

Yeah true its $292 for me from Norfolk to Denver so I will probably book as soon as I get paid on Thursday. Anyone traveling in Thursday and plan on leaving Monday? I figure I need to fly in Thur so I can play Friday/Sun and then fly back out Monday. If so how is the room accommodations working? Otherwise I guess I can fly out Friday morning and get in around 10am. If so anyone have rooms reserved now with the Crowne? I couldn't do Thur - Mon anyone have that part worked out yet?

just so you guys know southwest is usually the cheapest company to fly into Denver with. The trick is leaving from an airport not affected by the riot act. I had to chose an airport a little over 100 miles from my house but it was a direct flight to Denver for $138 "that's with tax and you always get 2 bags on southwest free". So I highly suggest going to http://www.southwest.com/ (http://www.southwest.com/) and checking all the airports around you.

This is true.  It is about $50 cheaper to fly out of Flint, compared to Detroit...for the same dates and basically the same times.

You're risking your life with either city...

Did you all know the Denver airport is supposably haunted?

I was talking to my mom the other day and mentioned how I might be going out to Denver again, and she made some casual comment about the Denver airport being haunted. Google it...lots of crazy stories out there.

Just wanted to mention this, I was checking flights today and Delta has flights for $175-$180 round trip from Detroit to Denver.  I've never seen prices this low.
