Swifties fly! United ramps up Denver-Vancouver flights ahead of Taylor Swift’s last tour stop

DIA will have extra flights to meet high demand for the Eras Tour's final shows.

Demand is spiking for Taylor Swift’s final “Eras” tour stop in Vancouver between Dec. 6-8.

United Airlines will ramp up its nonstop flights to Vancouver over the show weekend from its hub cities including Denver, the airline announced Friday.

United is adding a nonstop flight leaving Denver at 12:45 p.m. for the Canadian city between Dec. 5 and 9. It also added extra flights to and from Chicago and San Francisco.

The Eras Tour celebrating the superstar’s career of 10 albums (with an 11th album released in April) kicked off in March 2023 at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., bringing along an economic boost to cities across the world.

Swift visited Denver more than a year ago in July to perform at Empower Field and it was one of the busiest weekends in downtown during 2023, following the Nuggets Championship Parade, PrideFest and Fourth of July weekend, according to data from the Downtown Denver Partnership.

The average fan spent around $1,300 for flights, hotel, food and merchandise within local economies, according to the U.S. Travel Association.

Her Colorado stop was estimated to have generated nearly $140 million toward the state’s gross domestic product, or GDP.

Denver International Airport’s largest operating airline said it’s seeing flights to Vancouver quickly fill up ahead of the concert. United flights to Swift’s last tour stop are more than 80% full, according to the airline, when typically Vancouver flights are around 40% booked at this point in time.
