More Holiday Period Opportunities on United!
Don’t give-up on Christmas…Check United!
HOT: United recently made a switch with their regional carriers and this has caused some upgrading on some flights/dates from the Dash 8 to the CRJ200 on the Denver to Montrose Flight …37 seat aircraft to 50 seat aircraft! This means that there may be more seats over the peak holiday dates and at some decent fares. Note that connecting flights into Denver also need to have good seat availability for decent fares to show up.

Recommendation: Act Fast!…13 additional seats per each flight that has been upgraded is not a lot and can be sold pretty quickly!

Tip: On checking…it looks like more flights feeding from the West Coast to Montrose via Denver have a better chance for good fares!
