Flights to Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City airport: Looking for flights to Salt Lake City? The Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is going to your go-to airport. Two of our most popular airlines, United and American, both run plenty of flights into this airport, but there's plenty of other options too. Head into downtown on the TRAX Green Line—it leaves every 15 minutes from Terminal 1 and gets you to the city center in about 20 minutes. Bring $2.50 for a single-ride or purchase an all-day rail pass for $6.25.

Where to stay in Salt Lake City: Salt Lake City has a pretty solid light rail system, so getting around—even without a car—can be a breeze. But to save time, you might as well just stay right in the heart of things downtown, right? For a good budget option, try the Salt Lake City Plaza Hotel. It’s smack-dab in the center of downtown and just steps from the Temple Square light rail station. Other great options? Try the Little America Hotel or the Metropolitan Inn, both located on Main Street. (Plus, the Metropolitan Inn has 24-hour room service and a free breakfast! Double-score!)
