Fayetteville - Denver $97 Roundtrip for Summer Travel

By Radomir Rezny / shutterstock.com

Fresh off this week's announcement that ultra-low-cost carrier Frontier will begin to fly this route starting this summer, United has drastically lowered its fares to compete. Fly nonstop on United from Fayetteville, Arkansas to Denver for $97 roundtrip. Since flights are normally priced around $350 roundtrip on this short hop, this is a welcome change for those in Northwest Arkansas who don't want to drive to Kansas City or Dallas for a cheap flight.

I found seats departing Fayetteville XNA on Tuesday, July 9, returning from Denver DEN on Sunday, July 14. Other dates are available for travel on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, for peak summer travel from late June through early August. It is a Basic Economy fare, but you'll find standard Economy fares are over $200 more so it may be best to deal with the restrictions. United's Basic Economy only includes a small personal item, but you can pay $30 each way for a checked bag if you can't travel that light. For more info, read our guide on How to Fly United Airlines.

Fly nonstop from Denver to Minneapolis for $98 roundtrip on Southwest. With so many airlines flying this route nonstop, including Delta, United, Spirit, and Frontier, there are many options for a cheap flight. Although you'll find similar (and even lower) fares on some of these other carriers, Southwest's two free checked bags and no change fee policy make it my top choice.

I found seats departing Denver DEN on Friday, May 3, returning from Minneapolis MSP on Tuesday, May 7. Southwest has other scattered dates available for travel in April, May, and October. You'll find even more availability on other carriers, but beware of any extra fees.

Hey LA! Wanna check out Texas this summer? Fly nonstop from Los Angeles to Houston for $105 roundtrip on American or United.

To help you decide which airport in Houston may be best for you, we've come up with a handy guide to Houston's two major airports.

I found this price available on American departing Los Angeles LAX on Saturday, August 3, returning from Houston IAH on Wednesday, August 7. Other scattered travel dates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, are available in May, August, and September.

Usually, if you see a cheap flight from Phoenix to Europe, it requires a connection. Thanks to Condor, you can fly nonstop from Phoenix to Frankfurt for $480 roundtrip this spring. Flights for this price are available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, from May 1 through May 15. I found a ticket departing Phoenix PHX on Monday, May 6, returning from Frankfurt FRA on Monday, May 13. This Economy Light price only includes a carry-on bag weighing up to 13 lbs. plus a small personal item. A checked bag costs $75 each way. If you need to check a bag, it's cheaper to book a standard Economy fare for $590 roundtrip, which includes one checked bag.
