Airlines on this route
Delta Air Lines flies this route nonstop. That matters more than it sounds: the cheapest fare on one carrier is rarely the same product as the cheapest on another.

Leaving from Grand Junction (GJT)
Plan to be at the airport two hours before a domestic departure — ninety minutes can work at smaller airports outside peak times, but security lines are the one variable you can't control. If you're checking a bag, add time rather than cutting it close. Our Grand Junction airport guide covers terminals, parking and ground transport so you can plan the trip to the airport, not just the flight.

When to book
For a trip of 216 miles, booking 2–4 weeks ahead typically lands you in the sweet spot. Leave it to the final two weeks and prices usually climb as the cheapest seats sell out. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures are where the lower fares hide on most domestic routes.
Good to know before you go

- Download the airline's app before you fly; gate changes and delays show up there first.
- Nonstop time on this route is about 0h 56m — a one-stop itinerary needs to be a lot cheaper to be worth the extra hours.
- Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically the cheapest days on domestic routes.
