Okay, who can help me find the cheapest (roundtrip) airfare from New Hampshire to Utah? MHT to SLC, leaving on June 29th and coming back on July 3rd.

Ready, set, GO!

Well... I just did one search, but what turned up was about the most expensive flight I've ever seen in the continental US. Good luck....

Posted by Lupus (Member # 6516) on :

if time of day is not important to you try hotwire.com

You don't get to choose the time of your flight, but it is cheap (I have used it in the past)

priceline.com can also be good as well

With both services you save the most money if you get a combo pack (ie: airfare + hotel)

Any price is worth getting somebody out of NH. [Smile]

Forget Hotwire.

I was intrigued and 'found' a flight on Orbitz.com for $781.... not SO bad considering you'd be flying next week.

When you find the flight you want, you should buy it though. On Monday I looked at a trip from Honolulu to Boise in August and when I went to purchase it today, it didn't exist any more and I had to buy direct from the airlines for $160 more. [Grumble]

If you're willing to leave on the 30th and return on the 3rd, you can get a flight for $392 from Expedia.

Depart Manchester: 8am 6/30, arrive SLC 1:36pm
multiple return options, anywhere from 6am to 4:35pm departures from SLC.

My flight is available on Expedia. [Grumble]

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Ok, we got them. We went ahead and shifted the dates to the 30th through the 4th. Still 5 days. Still can do things as planned. And plane tickets are about half the price for just one stinking day. [Smile]

Leaving from MHT arriving at SLC on the 29th of June, you can fly on Southwest Airlines at the following times:

code:

departure    arrival
7:20am       1:50pm
2:10pm       8:25pm
3:00pm       1:05pm

for the low low price of $299. Note that the only ticket available is a refundable anytime ticket.

For your return trip on the 3rd of July: if you are willing to fly to another airport, the cheapest price will be flying into Boston on America West Airlines departing at 10:30am and arriving in Boston at 11:59pm. However, if you are unwilling to fly into Boston for any of the many reasons one would not want to fly into Boston, I would suggest taking Delta Airlines into MHT departing at 7:00am and arriving at 6:07pm. This itenerary would take you from SLC to DFW to LGA to MHT, a total of two layovers for the low price of $351.80, giving you a total round trip cost of $650.80 + tax. Note that I went directly to the individual airline's sites to get these prices, going to expedia, orbitz, or travelocity will give you higher prices.
