Another answer to What is the cheapest time of year to fly to Denver? that many people do not think about is the spring shoulder season, mostly in March and April. During this time, winter turns to spring. The number of people taking flights goes up and down, so travelers can get low prices for flights.

These months have soft weather. It is not as cold as winter. There are not as many people as in summer. The cost of plane tickets is often lower. You might find tickets that are 20–30% less than what you see in summer. If you fly from big cities like Chicago, Phoenix, or Dallas, prices are often between $70 and $120.

Spring in Denver feels fresh. Parks start to bloom and patios outside open up. Trails look nice now and people can go out more. You can see places like Washington Park, Cherry Creek, or Golden. There are not as many people there as in summer. Rooms in hotels also stay at good prices, mostly during the week.

March brings events like St. Patrick’s Day and brewery festivals. These give people fun times without spending more money. If you want to save, go during spring. The weather is nice and you still get good value.

Booking your flights 4 to 6 weeks before you go is the best way to get good deals. When you travel during the week or take late-night flights, you can save even more money.
