The price to fly is surging as the U.S. and Israel\u2019s war with Iran has driven up jet fuel costs, according to travel industry website Kayak, which tracks airfare costs.<\/p>\n

In early February, before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, average domestic airfare in the country clocked in at $326, according to Kayak, which was about 6.5% more expensive the same time the previous year.<\/p>\n

After the war began, plane tickets kept rising, Kayak data showed.<\/p>\n

By mid-March, average domestic airfare rose to $361 \u2014 about 19% higher than 2025\u2019s plane ticket costs, according to Kayak.<\/p>\n

As of May 11, the most recent available data, average domestic airfare reached $383 \u2014 about 30% more expensive than this time last year.<\/p>\n

Kayak rounded up a selection of \u201ccheap flights\u201d out of Denver International Airport for those last-minute travelers looking to get away. The cheapest routes are based on the averages of the company\u2019s cheapest round-trip flight prices on economy class, according to their methodology.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re in the mood for late nights, neon and a gamble, the cheapest average airfare out of DIA to Sin City will set you back about $124 in May, according to Kayak.
