Everything you need to know for your flight from Denver to Montrose

Which departure days are usually cheaper?

If you have flexibility with your travel dates, Tuesday and Wednesday departures are consistently your best bet for finding the lowest airfares. Across global flight routes, flying midweek can easily save you 10% to 20% compared to weekend departures, mainly because you avoid both Monday business trips and Friday weekend getaways. On the flip side, Fridays and Sundays tend to be the most expensive days of the week as leisure travelers head out and return. Another insider tip: opting for early morning flights (before 7:00 AM) or overnight red-eyes often unlocks additional savings while helping you breeze through airport security lines.

How far in advance do fares usually reach their lowest point?

There is no fixed booking window that guarantees the lowest fare for United States to United States (US-US). Once your plans are clearer, compare prices for your intended dates and nearby alternatives, using the same cabin, baggage and change conditions. Choose a fare that fits your budget and flexibility; waiting can result in either lower prices or fewer suitable options.

Which travel month has the lowest reference fare, and by how much?

In average round-trip fares grouped by travel month over the past 12 months, Nov is lowest at USD 222. Compared with the selected date's calendar month average of USD 222, the difference is USD 0. This is not a quote for a specific date or nonstop flight.

Should I book now or wait for a lower fare?

If you can change departure dates, the price calendar shows a reference fare of USD 114 on 2026-11-17, USD 234 below the selected date. Prices for different departure dates cannot predict whether the same flight will get cheaper later; check the latest price and availability before booking.

How much could changing the departure date by a few days save?

Among available departure dates within three days of the selected date, the same-currency reference nonstop fare of USD 348 on 2026-11-03 is tied for the lowest. Fares on different dates may not be for the same cabin or fare product; check the latest price and availability before booking.
