Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts

The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Salt Lake City to Boston cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.

Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.

Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.

The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Salt Lake City to Boston.

What is the typical flight duration from Salt Lake City to Boston?

The flight from Salt Lake City to Boston is about 2,100 miles. It typically takes 4 hours and 38 minutes in the outbound direction, while the return trip from Boston to Salt Lake City takes 5 hours and 28 minutes — about 50 minutes longer due to prevailing winds.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Salt Lake City to Boston?

Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways fly non-stop from Salt Lake City to Boston. Delta operates 21 weekly flights with three daily departures at 09:50, 17:15, and 23:32, while JetBlue runs a single daily departure at 23:59. Both carriers fly this route daily.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Boston?

Getting from Boston Logan to the city center is easy, with the free MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus to South Station the most-used and fastest public option, reaching downtown in about 15–20 minutes. Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft are widely available from designated pickup lots, with fares starting around $20, while taxis run about $25 to downtown. The Blue Line subway connects via a free Massport shuttle to Airport Station and reaches downtown in roughly 15 minutes. Water taxis to downtown cost about $15 and offer a scenic alternative, and car rentals are available outside the main terminal building via Massport shuttle buses. For most travelers, the Silver Line SL1 is the default choice because it is free from the airport and runs directly to South Station.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Salt Lake City to Boston?

Fares from Salt Lake City to Boston are lowest in late January, around $283. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $288, followed by February ($296) and August ($325). December is the most expensive month at about $356, and fares peak in late December at about $370. The yearly average is $329. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.

How far in advance should I book tickets from Salt Lake City to Boston?

Book about 4 weeks before departure for the best fares from Salt Lake City to Boston, around $330. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $381, $51 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $429. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Salt Lake City to Boston?

Yes, overnight red-eye flights operate nonstop from Salt Lake City to Boston, with both Delta and JetBlue flying daily. Delta departs around 11:32 PM and lands at 6:05 AM the next morning, while JetBlue departs just before midnight at 11:59 PM and lands at 6:30 AM the next morning.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Salt Lake City to Boston?

Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways operate non-stop flights from Salt Lake City to Boston. Delta flies this route up to 21 times per week with departures throughout the day, while JetBlue offers a daily flight. Both carriers operate every day of the week.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

How reliable are on‑time arrivals on this route from Salt Lake City to Boston?

Delta leads on-time arrivals from Salt Lake City to Boston at 81.6%, with a negligible 0.1% cancellation rate. JetBlue follows at 73.6% on-time arrivals with a 3.0% cancellation rate.
Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

Which airport should I use in Boston?

Boston Logan International Airport is the only commercial airport serving Boston and is the correct choice for this route. It sits just across the harbour from downtown, with quick access to the city centre.

How do I get to Salt Lake City Intl Airport from the city center?

Getting to Salt Lake City International Airport from downtown is fast and straightforward, with the airport sitting just about 10 minutes west of the city center. The TRAX Green Line light rail is the most popular and affordable option, running every 15–20 minutes and reaching the airport in roughly 20–25 minutes for a flat $2.50 fare. Taxis and ride-shares like Uber and Lyft take only 10–15 minutes and are the quickest door-to-door choice, while shared shuttle vans and hotel shuttles offer a middle ground in cost and convenience. Driving yourself is easy via I-80 with several on-site parking options, though it's generally the priciest once you factor in daily parking fees.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Salt Lake City to Boston?

Delta operates the most flights from Salt Lake City to Boston, using Airbus A321neo aircraft. JetBlue also flies the route nonstop with Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Salt Lake City to Boston?
