Slightly lower airfares anticipated for April 2024 will mean air travel deals from Phoenix.
New data from Hopper, the travel website that tracks airfares, showed 15 domestic routes out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with round-trip airfares below $100 for some April itineraries.
Domestic round-trip airfares are expected to average $294 in April, 1% below the same month in 2023 as well as March’s average, according to Hopper.
As in March, April travel demand remains high because of spring break, with 83% of travelers intending to fly to their destinations, according to Hopper. Here’s where you can find cheap flights from Phoenix in April 2024.

People can expect to pay an average of $294 round trip for flights in April 2024, she said.
