Los Angeles–Salt Lake City Flights
This route runs from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Salt Lake City (SLC). The nonstop award space in the data is split between Delta and United Airlines. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A321, Embraer 175, and Embraer E175. About 15% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Booking Los Angeles–Salt Lake City with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The economy floor is a partner booking on an American Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $26, above the route's typical economy taxes. Business runs about 4 times the economy price. A nonstop first-class seat undercuts business here, so price it before settling. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
Best Points & Miles Programs
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 4,500 points and first class at 9,000, both on American Airlines nonstops. Qantas Frequent Flyer is cheapest in business class at 19,300 points on an American Airlines nonstop. Among the remaining four programs, Delta SkyMiles, United MileagePlus, and American AAdvantage are good places to cross-check. With the winner changing twice as you move up, decide where you'll sit before deciding where to move points.
Airlines & Routing Options
Two airlines show nonstop award space on Los Angeles–Salt Lake City: Delta (SkyTeam) and United Airlines (Star Alliance). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. Only four airlines show award space here, but six programs sell their seats, so the program matters more than the carrier.
Alternative Airports & Routes
For Los Angeles departures, Orange County (SNA) and Ontario (ONT) both start at 11,000 points in economy, well above the route's 4,500-point economy floor, so they're only worth it when LAX is sold out. Orange County and Ontario also log nonstop flights to Salt Lake City in the data. For another option from Los Angeles, Amsterdam prices from 9,500 points at last check.
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.
