When people ask, What is the cheapest time of year to fly to Denver?, winter is often the first answer. But there is another good time for cheap flights. Late summer into early fall is also a great choice, especially from late August through mid-September. At this time, the busy summer travel starts to slow down. Many families go home because school starts, and airline prices drop by a lot.

Late August is a good time to visit Denver. There is warm weather. The sky is clear. You get to do all the outside things Colorado is known for and there are not many people around. You can see Red Rocks Park. Go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park and eat at Denver’s rooftop restaurants with nice weather.

Airfare at this time usually goes down. It can be less than what people pay in the summer, so you can save about $60 to $150 on each ticket. You will find the lowest prices if you fly in the middle of the week. Early morning flights also cost less than others.

Hotels also go along with this lower demand. A room in downtown Denver that costs more than $200 in June or July might be about $120 to $150 now. Car rentals show the same change. This helps people travel around and see other places without spending too much.

Another good thing about going at this time is the festival season. Denver has many things to go to, like food events and outdoor concerts. You get all this fun without big crowds. It’s a great way to feel what Colorado is like, and you do not have to pay high prices.
