Route snapshot
Los Angeles to Denver shows nonstop award space on United Airlines and Delta. Eight programs price the route, and the cheapest economy award is 88 points on a United Airlines nonstop. That price runs through Lufthansa Miles & More, another airline's program, so United Airlines' own points aren't automatically the cheapest way on.

This route runs from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Denver (DEN). The nonstop award space in the data is split between United Airlines and Delta.

Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Booking Los Angeles–Denver with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on a United Airlines nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Watch the cash: about $319 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Business runs about 284 times the economy price. A nonstop first-class seat undercuts business here, so price it before settling.
Best Points & Miles Programs
Lufthansa Miles & More wins economy at 88 points on a United Airlines nonstop. Etihad Guest takes business class at 25,000 points on an American Airlines nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in first class at 15,000 points on an American Airlines nonstop. The other five programs include American AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles, and Air France-KLM Flying Blue. The cheapest program changes twice across the cabins, so match the program to the seat before moving points.
Airlines & Routing Options
Los Angeles–Denver draws nonstop award space from two alliances: United Airlines (Star Alliance) and Delta (SkyTeam). Partner programs in both alliances can each book a nonstop. When nonstop space is gone, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Seattle. Partner pricing sets the economy floor: Lufthansa Miles & More books United Airlines as a Star Alliance partner, and no program prices United Airlines lower in that cabin at last check.
Alternative Airports & Routes
Ontario (ONT) has nonstop flights to Denver in the data too. For another option from Los Angeles, Amsterdam prices from 9,500 points at last check. Check the departure code before moving points; Los Angeles awards can also start at Orange County (SNA) or Burbank (BUR).
Booking tips
- 1Search flexible dates first, since saver award seats can appear on scattered days.
- 2Compare partner programs before transferring points, since the same seat can price very differently.
- 3Check both direct and connecting options when direct award seats are limited.
- 4Book early for peak travel periods, when saver space disappears fastest.
- 5Recheck availability often, since airlines may release more award seats closer to departure.
