This Montana Airport Will Soon Have A New Cross Country Flight

Our winter season could see more visitors soon.

Seasonal Flights Out Of Bozeman

These flights are popular with locals and tourists.

Many airports in Montana have seasonal flights during the winter or summer.

Seasonal flights are unique destinations for short stints.

Airlines like Alaska and Southwest have added seasonal flights across Montana.

One airport with many seasonal flights is the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.

The Bozeman Airport sees an uptick in seasonal flights during the summer and winter.

Why? Those are the high tourist seasons.

Folks everywhere are trying to get to the Gallatin Valley to see Yellowstone National Park or ski Big Sky Resort.

Many of the seasonal flights during the winter are from the East Coast.

Why is that? You can't compare the mountains in Montana to what they have in the East.

Montana's terrain is just better.

One popular airline wants to increase its winter seasonal flights for the 2025/2026 season.

This new flight could be popular among locals and tourists.

Delta Adding New Winter Flight to New York

Delta is making some moves.

The Points Guy reports that Delta will add several new flights for the 2025/2026 winter season, specifically for those who love skiing or snowboarding.

Two flights will include iconic ski areas like Vail, Colorado, and Salt Lake, but the third flight involves Montana.

Starting December 20th, Delta will have a direct nonstop flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Bozeman.

This flight will operate on Saturdays throughout the peak ski season.

Why is this announcement a big deal?

The Bozeman Airport has two seasonal flights to New York, but they are by different airlines.

JetBlue has direct flights out of New York's JFK airport, and United has nonstop flights out of Newark during the winter.

Delta's new flight is a smart move.

By offering a direct flight out of LaGuardia, they could appeal to folks who want a ski trip to Montana but don't want the hassle of transportation to JFK or Newark.

Plus, some locals might want to experience New York during Christmas or New Year's.
