It’s the Run for the Roses, the 137th annual Kentucky Derby. All eyes will be on Louisville’s Churchill Downs May 7. While lots of folks will be flocking to Louisville – crowding hotels, restaurants and such – savvy locals look to leave town for a few days. Frontier Airlines provides a cheap flight escape hatch.
Book and buy no later than April 22. Fly from Louisville May 5 through 7, and back into Louisville May 8 through 9.
Sample fares are each way, do not include taxes or fees, and you’ll have to make a ten-day advance purchase. Louisville flights to Albuquerque (usually $384.19 roundtrip) are $99 each way.
