United Airlines will offer nonstop flights on Saturdays to Washington Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. from December to March, Alaska Airlines is adding nonstop flights to Boise five days a week, from Thursday to Monday, and JetBlue announced the addition of Mint services, a luxury flight experience with lie-flat beds, artisanal dining, priority boarding and two complimentary checked bags, according to a Big Sky Resort press release, on its flights from Boston and New York City on select weekends.

“The winter schedule not only provides ease and choice for visitors, but also connects our local community to cities all over the country from their home airport,” Yann Benjamin, Big Sky Resort’s VP of sales and marketing, stated in the release.

Bozeman’s airport, the busiest in Montana according to the Montana Department of Transportation, will offer 20 nonstop flights this winter as it expands to accommodate more travel to and from the region.

“As the demand for travel to and from BZN grows, we will continue to see increased interest by our airlines to expand their offerings,” Brian Sprenger, airport president and CEO, said in an email.

The airport will soon be expanding physically as well. Construction is underway on the East Terminal Expansion Project, a $140-180 million undertaking slated for completion in 2030.
