Why are plane tickets to Salt Lake City so cheap?
I was looking at flights from Detroit to Salt Lake City, and I expected them to be in the $300-$400 range like they normally are. But the price for a round trip non-stop flight in mid April 2009 was $170. I was shocked, because that is less than half the price of what they are normally! Why are these flights so cheap, and do you think they will go up in price as April gets closer? Thanks.

they are cheap because no one is going there right now. If they fill the plane, the number of people who will use this flight in the future increases and they can charge full price again.

There might be a lot ot reasons for that: Salt Lake is a hub for Delta, fuel costs going down etc. Sometimes prices for tickets go down for a short period of time and then they change again.
