    American Airlines - LA to Denver (then Vail)

    Skiiers, heads up!

    Just got a nice little newsletter from American touting the wonders of Vail, which got me to thinking - wouldn’t that be a very nice trip…

    So, I went to the site, and entered LAX to Denver (Vail is just another 80 miles down the road - well, up the road) - and on a whim, I put in Dec. 6 departure and Dec. 13 return (both Saturdays - Saturdays are cheap days to travel on).

    Total out-the-door price, including all taxes, fees, etc.?

    A mere $179 round-trip, total. Now that’s a deal.
