Why now
At $365 per person round trip, or $730 for two, this nonstop is $140 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's 28% less. We checked 12 offers for this weekend, and fares ran from $365 to $505 per person. We don't have enough earlier checks on this route to call any price typical, so that range is the fair comparison. The flight leaves SEA on Friday, Oct 23 at 4:27 PM and lands in Denver at 8:17 PM. Saturday's forecast is clear and 68°F with a 6% chance of rain, and Friday and Sunday both top out at 60°F. Late October suits breweries, museums and a day in the foothills better than summer concerts. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-mountains long weekend. You get breweries and food halls in town plus the art museum and Larimer Square, and Boulder is forty minutes away if you want some foothill air. It suits couples or two friends who like to walk, eat and drink well. Plan one big outing on Saturday and take the rest slow. Two nights keeps it short but full.

How much is the flight?
It's $365 per person round trip ($730 for two), nonstop on Frontier, with taxes and fees included when we checked. That's $140 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. Fares change, so check the live price before you book.
Do I need a passport?
No. Seattle to Denver is a domestic flight, and everything is priced in US dollars.
What is the weather like?
Friday is overcast with a high of 60°F and an 18% chance of rain. Saturday is clear at 68°F with a 6% chance, and Sunday is overcast at 60°F with a 10% chance. Lows run 47–51°F, so bring a jacket for evenings.
Is 2 nights enough?
For a city weekend, yes. You land Friday at 8:17 PM, so Saturday is your full day. Use it for Boulder, forty minutes away, or for breweries and the art museum. Check your Sunday return time before you plan the last morning.
How do I get from the airport?
A train runs from the airport to LoDo / Union Station, which makes LoDo an easy base. If you just want a bed near arrivals after the late Friday flight, Baymont by Wyndham Denver International Airport is in the airport area at $103 a night.
What does the whole weekend cost?
Our rough estimate for two is $1,509. That's $730 for flights, $259 for two nights at La Quinta by Wyndham Denver Gateway Park and $520 for spending.
