Q. I'd like to find an inexpensive way to get to Park City, Utah, for the upcoming Sundance Film Festival, beginning Jan. 21. Can you offer any tips? A. How about starring in an indie film and having the producers send you out? Too late for that? Then look to Southwest Airlines, which may be your best bet. Earlier this year, the carrier added direct flights between Minneapolis and Denver, where it originates flights to Salt Lake City (the closest airport to Park City). Southwest also flies to the Utah city via Chicago. Be sure to check an aggregator to see what Southwest's entry into the market has done to the cost of direct flights. I like www.kayak.com, which links you to the Web site of your selected airline for booking. But note that the prices for flights you find at the site won't reflect a carrier's fees, including cash for checking luggage. Southwest allows passengers two free bags.
