Cheap flights from Phoenix: Where you can fly for under $150 in April 2025
Travelers planning to fly in April 2025 might find slightly lower fares compared with March.
New data from Hopper, the travel website that tracks airfares, showed the average round-trip airfare for April 2025 will cost $312. That's down $2 from Hopper's forecasted average in March.
Fares remain much higher compared with 2024 because of slower flight capacity growth, Hopper's lead economist Hayley Berg said. But spring airfares are only about 4% higher than 2023.
Fourteen cities offer base fares below $150 from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in April. Here's where Arizonans can find the best deals.
Hopper forecasted round-trip airfares would average $312 in April, down slightly from March, according to Berg.
But the average fares are up 15% from April 2024, and more double-digit percentage increases are expected going into the summer travel season. That's because "summer 2024 brought some of the lowest prices on record," Berg said.
Book as soon as possible for the best fares.
Travelers who wait to book, particularly for travel during the week that includes Passover and Easter, can expect to pay 10% to 40% higher prices, Berg said. Passover ends and Easter falls on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
Travelers could save money by booking a Tuesday or Wednesday flight instead of peak travel days on weekends, she said.
For the sixth month in a row, the cheapest place to fly to from Phoenix is Las Vegas, according to Hopper. It forecasted base round-trip fares as low as $60.
A search by The Arizona Republic conducted on March 28 showed the lowest round-trip base airfares available for select dates in early and mid-April, including an April 5-8 itinerary with ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines for $50.
Be aware that ultra-low-cost carriers like Spirit and Frontier airlines charge low base fares with additional fees for seat assignments, carry-on and checked bags and other amenities.
