Los Angeles to Montrose, CO or surrounding area - HELP!!!

I'm looking for 2 flights from Los Angeles area to the Montrose, Colorado area on Dec 19-21 and coming home on Christmas day.

We do this trip every year to take care of both families during the holidays but this year I'm not finding flights that are cheap enough. Everything I'm seeing is about $350-$400 each. Last year it was $245 each.

Thanks for our help in advance.

yes, prices are higher. Check into flying into Grand Junction (GJT) which is just 65 miles north of Montrose. I still couldn't find anything less than $320 for you . . .

Good luck!

I tried too. Looks like the fares are just higher this year. Sorry, Joel.

I did a search on Priceline and tweaked the dates a little...one day before, I think, and also searched to Grand Junction, and I got a couple of $250 flights.

What flights did you find? I can't find anything lower than $330 on Priceline.

I think the $250 price was before taxes. I found the same price on bookingbuddy.com yesterday but once they added in all the fees, etc. it came up to around $325 or more. I just checked priceline and didn't see the $250 price either.

One of the flights was Frontier to GJ, and the other was Delta, I think. And, I was playing around with the dates, maybe a Wednesday departure.

Can't try it again right now...I have a family member in the hospital but I might get a chance later tonight.

Thanks to everyone for looking into it for me. I found a flight in United for $288 including taxes and fees so I booked it. LAX to Gunnison at good times. I figured that was the best I was going to do.
