Don’t overpay for flights: Tips for booking cheaper airfare from SLC Salt Lake City is among the most expensive U.S. airports to fly from, and fares are rising because of the Iran war. A Tribune analysis and expert advice show when to book, along with other tools to help travelers save.

A follow-up post to the big "why are airfares so expensive from SLC" story: Uh, what can you do about it?

We talked to experts and looked at the data to give tips on getting cheaper airfares from SLC:

Why is it so expensive to fly out of SLC? More importantly, what can be done about it? Salt Lake City International Airport airfares are some of the highest in the nation. What can be done about it?

Salt Lake City's the 5th most expensive airport in the U.S., per my analysis. But why? (Hint: Delta.) Maybe most importantly, can anything be done about that?

I dug in deep to the data and talked to airport leadership to learn more.

I don’t think they are, I think the court map is relatively fair

Agh my Twitter autoposter randomly sometimes includes a profile pic if I QT someone

One of my favorite NBA things is how many NBA refs say they'd "Most Like To Visit" Italy in the media guide. Friends, you are rich! You make over $200K per year! Just go to Italy during the summer! You can get RT flights for 500 dollars!

A beeswarm graph of just how hot it's going to get this week compared to every other March 17-21 in recorded Salt Lake City Airport history:

I would be *stunned* if AJ Dybantsa doesn't become a 25 PPG scorer in the NBA at some point. He will score 1 gazillion points

man, the CONVERSATION if Bam gets 81

I’m headed to a conference about data journalism today #NICAR26 and legitimately just very excited to learn new things

One thing I think sports journalism doesn’t do well is professional development… there are not very many structured learning chances once you have a job IMO

This challenge should really not be taking this long, Jokic's left arm pushing off clearly impacted George's ability to get to the rim and it's not legal guarding position

Elijah Harkless as primary defender on Nikola Jokic rules so hard

Recording artist Ritt Momney is releasing his new album today. He has a song on the album called "The Tank". Lyrics below.

Fun fact: banning a book actually increases interest in that book generally.

"... the circulations of banned books increased by 12%, on average, compared with comparable nonbanned titles after the ban."

Will Hardy on if the Jazz's playing patterns will change as the result of the team's fine from the NBA: "I sat Lauri because he was on a minutes restriction. So if our medical team puts a minutes restriction on Lauri, I’ll try to keep Lauri healthy."

Blazers beat Jazz 135-119. Sensabaugh had 28 points, Bailey 15/8/3 before his Rising Stars appearance.


Y'all, it's been lovely covering the Jazz for you. I won't be a stranger.

Mykhailiuk has 11 points in 10 minutes and, after a 17-point deficit, the Jazz are back within 6 with 7:51 left.


What a narrative that would be, if the Jazz get a win tonight on the back of Svi play.

Svi Mykhailiuk makes his first appearance with 5:18 in the 3Q... he's been a DNP-CD for the last three games after starting 41 for the Jazz to start the year.

A guy just made four threes in the timeout to win a car*! Had several airballs but got the 4th make just before the buzzer to win it.


*note that (as of the last time they gave away a car) it was actually just a lease of a car but still

Oscar Tshiebwe downgraded to out for the rest of the game (concussion protocol).

Jazz up 63-61 at the half on Portland. I did not expect this level of on-court or off-court drama for the Jazz on their last day before the All-Star break!

Oscar Tshiebwe is questionable to return, he is currently in the locker room receiving stitches over his eye.

Maybe too inside baseball but I can guarantee you the Ryan Smith/Bobby Marks situation this week does not happen in the Justin Zanik running-the-Jazz/Adrian Wojnarowski running-ESPN's-NBA-coverage era

NBA commissioner says Utah Jazz ‘compromised the integrity of our games,’ fines team largest amount yet The Utah Jazz were fined for sitting stars Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. late in two recent games. Here's what the NBA and Jazz owner Ryan Smith had to say about the decision.

Also in there: a link to the 6-page full NBA Player Participation Policy, if you're curious

Vince Williams ejected! Those seemed to be two pretty quick technicals from my eyes. First Jazz ejection in a long time... (I believe since Kris Dunn?)

Now Ace Bailey off the backboard to himself for a dunk! All of a sudden the tanking Jazz are in front of Portland.

New two-way contract Blake Hinson getting his first Jazz minutes tonight.

with any luck at all, this can be my final injury report tweet ever

Lauri Markkanen will rest tonight vs. Portland, Jazz announce. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Keyonte George also out.

Jazz officially announce Jaren Jackson Jr. will undergo surgery for a knee tumor. They're not giving a timetable, but Chris Haynes is saying likely out for the season.
