Grab them while they’re hot, United’s at it again, with yet another great domestic deal. This time, the lucky city that gets the deal discounts is Denver, with prices starting at $54 for one-way trips, or $108 for roundtrips. The price cut is scheduled to start on August the 10th and will last all throughout 2009 and into the first half of 2010’s January. Admittedly, on some routes to and from Denver, other airlines might have the upper hand, as is the case from flights departing from Denver and arriving in Phoenix Arizona, where airlines such as Frontier or US Airways might raise United’s ante and lower their own prices.

So if you’ve got business around Denver in the latter half of this year, there might be a good chance United is your best option, but we advise you still take a couple of minutes to look for some counteroffers as the tough competition might make things even brighter for you.
