Cheap Flights To Aurora

About Aurora

Aurora, Colorado, is a fast growing neighbor of Denver, a former suburb of the capitol city that has seized an identity of its own. With a population reaching 309,416 in 2006 and still growing, Aurora is now more than half the size of Denver and has become a destination in its own right. Visitors who take advantage of one of the many cheap flights to Aurora will land at Denver International Airport (DEN), a modern terminal that is actually more convenient to Aurora than to the city for which it is named.

Home to many sports related attractions, Aurora is known as an active and athletic community. Shielded from much of the worst of the Rocky Mountain snow, Aurora boasts six golf courses within its limits. Horseback riding is another popular activity, available to visitors at the Paint Horse Stables. Cross country skiing, biking, and nature trails are featured in Aurora's beautiful Cherry Creek State Park, and local festivals and nightlife are abundant in Aurora. Comfortable and clean cheap hotels in Aurora add the finishing touch to vacation plans.

The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center is opening a new campus in Aurora that will be shared by the University of Colorado Hospital. The resulting complex will be home to a combination of research, classroom, clinic, and office facilities, adding to the student population already drawn in by the Community College of Aurora. Buses and commuter rail offer convenient transportation options to students, residents, and visitors.

Summer is peak travel time into Aurora, as tourists land at DEN eager to enjoy local outdoor activities and festivals. Average airfare from New York City is about $450, from San Francisco, around $400, and flying in from Miami averages $375. Cheap flights to Aurora, however, can be had for better than average prices.
