Steamboat Winter Air Service Greatly Expanded for 2018/2019 Ski Season!
By Kyra Demla
Steamboat Springs has expanded one of the best mountain air programs in the country, with new non-stop flights from all over the US. From December to March, you can fly non-stop from 15 major airports on airlines such as Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, and United. There are also convenient connections from more than 350 other airports nationwide and worldwide.
New this season, Steamboat’s industry-leading air program continues to expand with the addition of three non-stop markets on JetBlue. Skiers and riders in Boston, Ft. Lauderdale and Long Beach, California, will be able to access Steamboat during the 2018-19 winter via nonstop flights.
The Yampa Valley Regional Airport (Steamboat/Hayden HDN), is located just 22 miles from Steamboat Springs west on highway 40. Many affordable taxi or car companies can easily get you from the airport to Steamboat Springs. Winter offers more nonstop flight options, but if traveling to Steamboat in the spring, summer or fall, there are also direct flights from the Denver International Airport.
Consider looking into these nonstop flights for your next ski vacation to Steamboat to make for a convenient, less-hassle travel experience.
