US: DCA-TEX (Telluride, CO) $218 + taxes

Not the absolute best CPM but perfect fare for a ski getaway since other airlines are charging over $500!

Bookable on usairways.com and Travelocity. Looks like availability is slim but valid everyday of the week until May.

I booked DCA-PHX-TEX on the outbound and TEX-PHX-CLT-DCA on the return.

Hope someone can use it!


ADDED: Just saw Delta has a fare DCA-MTJ (85 miles from Telluride) for $139 plus taxes!!

I was thinking the same thing re: skiing. this time of year for a fare like that? things must be bad.

If you'd like to go to Vail instead, there's a DCA-EGE fare on AA that coming out to $162 a/i

Have you ever flown into (or out of) TEX?

When I used to there was a 50% chance of the flight arriving at or departing from MTJ or even once GJT

Its also the only time when on final approach I looked up to see the airport (OK, slight exaggeration but not much)

At one point it was the highest commercial airport in the US.

I think it still is the highest in the US. Their website says its the second highest commercial airport in the world.
