Last winter, I planned a spontaneous ski trip to Salt Lake City and learned a few tricks for finding the best Delta flights without breaking the bank. I started by checking prices on different days of the week—Tuesdays and Wednesdays consistently had cheaper fares. Then I used Delta’s flexible date option to compare a few days around my target travel dates. But honestly, the biggest win came when I called (877) -297-0699.
The rep there was super helpful—they walked me through flight combinations that didn’t even show up online and helped me apply my SkyMiles to save more. When my return flight time needed a quick change (thanks to a snowstorm!), they also handled it smoothly without extra stress.
If you’re heading to Salt Lake City, I’d suggest keeping your dates flexible, booking early in the week, and always double-checking with that number. It’s faster than waiting on Delta’s site chat, and you’ll often get better fare insights or last-minute upgrade options. Learned that the easy way after years of DIY booking—sometimes, a real person just knows the system better!
