Missoula Montana Airport: Alaska Airlines will offer three new daily nonstop flights to Missoula from San Diego (SAN), San Francisco (SFA) and San Jose (SJC) California. These additions join the airlines daily nonstops from Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle SeaTac (SEA) and Portland, Oregon (PDX).

Getting to Montana has never been easier. With the increase in passenger demand for the treasure state and some of the larger airlines now offering direct-flight access into Western Montana as a travel destination from their main hubs, the time is right to visit and see for yourself why they call it Big Sky Country.

Western Montana’s Glacier Country offers ease of accessibility via two bustling regional airports, Glacier Park International (FCA), located in Kalispell, and Missoula Montana Airport (MSO), located in Missoula. Whether you are a meeting planner looking for a relatively undiscovered mountain destination or an association needing convention space near an accessible airport, we’ve got you covered in Missoula, Kalispell and Whitefish.
