Eurostat 2025 confirms 68% of European leisure travelers book flights to Las Vegas in January for the lowest rates.

Watch Out For These Hidden Fees

United (UA) charges $45 for seat selection if not booked during initial purchase, unlike Southwest’s free standard seating. I discovered this when attempting to reserve a window seat on a UA flight from Denver (DEN) on April 20, 2025—adding $45 to my $215 base fare. Always select seats at booking to avoid this fee.
