This is the time of year when cabin fever is making us all a bit crazy and in need of a getaway.  Some place far away.  This is also the time of year when many of us start making plans for a trip far away but before you book your airline at an out of town airport, please give some serious consideration to using our own Bert Mooney Airport.

Bert Mooney has undergone some huge changes over recent years not only in terms of the beautiful new terminal building but also in the services themselves and the ease of access you'll find.  First of all, the amenities inside are not far from the parking lot itself which is always free and not a long walk to the front doors.  Other airports in our area are charging up to $30 per day and even the premium parking spaces are not as close as the free ones at Bert Mooney.  Inside you will find fashionable decor, a preflight beverage or snack and waiting areas in the terminal that are rarely crowded.

In Butte, the TSA line is very short and very quick.  Your flights from Bert Mooney will get you to Salt Lake City International Airport and Denver International Airport and from there you can go virtually anywhere in the world.  On the return trip?  The luggage carousel is within a minute's walk from the gate and you're not facing another journey in a drive back home.  Even better, with every trip you take from Bert Mooney, you're supporting local jobs and more passengers will lead to more flight options in the future.
