cheap air faresThe early bird may not get the worm this time but it will get cheap air fares to the Canadian Rockies just as the ski season opens. Delta Airlines is offering an early bird special for those interested in flying into Cranbrook, British Columbia. The picture attached to the right says a million words about exactly what you will find in Cranbrook. Talk about an amazing view.

To cash in on cheap air fares, travelers must purchase by August 22 which is almost three weeks away for travel that can begin on December 17. Travel does not have to be completed until April 1, 2009, leaving you with a whole lot of time to pick and choose when the mountains will be the best.

A round-trip ticket from LA, Boston, Albuquerque, Las Vegas or Phoenix will cost 360 dollars. Who can argue with those prices? A few more requirements for these cheap air fares is that travel must take place on Wednesdays, Saturdays or Sundays and February 14,15,21 and 22 are blacked out. Keep these things in mind when planning next year’s trip to the mountains.
