If you live in Western Montana, there's a good chance that you've driven to Spokane, Washington to catch a flight. Often, there were more options, or options with fewer connecting flights, or cheaper options that made driving the roughly three hours worth it.

Now, you may be driving roughly three hours in the opposite direction because Bozeman's airport just announced new nonstop flights that may have Montanans from all over booking their out-of-state travel from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.

Before we review the new destinations added in Bozeman, here's a reminder of destinations from the Missoula Montana Airport: 

Year Round

  • Dallas/Fort Worth
  • Las Vegas
  • Minneapolis
  • Phoenix/Mesa
  • Salt Lake City
  • Seattle

Seasonal 

  • Chicago/O'Hare
  • Denver
  • Los Angeles
  • Oakland
  • Orange County
  • Portland
  • San Diego
  • San Francisco

In a recent press release on the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport website, they announced that Delta Airlines has added seasonal flights this winter to Boston, New York, and Seattle.

The flights are scheduled during the holiday season December 21 2024 - January 5, 2025 and will run from Boston and New York every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

In addition to this announcement, they shared the Winter 2024/2025 Flight Schedule which included seasonal flights to Boise, Houston, Nashville, San Diego, and Washington D.C. You can see the full, detailed schedule at this link.

If you're more visual, ExploreBigSky.com shared the following map in their article about the new nonstop flights, created by Big Sky Ski Resort.

What's exciting about these flights to the East Coast is that there are even more opportunities for Montanans to travel abroad in fewer flights. In some cases, it may only be two flights to reach Europe.

Another reason to look forward to the holidays.
