Your guide to booking flights to Montana

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If you can plan ahead, the sweet spot for booking your flight is 5 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 20% lower than last-minute bookings (made within 2 weeks of departure). Not ready to commit? Set a Price Alert and we'll let you know when prices change.
  • If your travel dates are flexible, January is usually the cheapest month to fly, while July tends to be the most expensive. Check the best-time-to-travel chart on this page to see how fares change throughout the year.
  • Flying on a Tuesday is usually the cheapest, while Sunday tends to run about 13% more expensive. If you can flex your travel days it's an easy saving. If not, widening your search to nearby airports or a layover can help.
  • If you're watching your budget, consider flying into Havre City County (HVR). It has had the lowest average airfare over the past 12 months. Just keep in mind any cost of onward travel.
  • West Yellowstone is the most popular destination in Montana. Start your trip here and then check out these other KAYAK traveler favorites: Missoula, Bozeman and Billings.
  • Consider a layover to Montana, it can cost less than flying nonstop. Boise Air Term. Gowen Fld (BOI) is typically the cheapest place to connect.
  • For those who want to fly directly to the capital of Montana, booking a flight to Helena Regional Airport (HLN) will put you about 15m outside of Helena.
  • Flights will be more expensive for visitors flying to Helena Regional Airport, since it is the capital city. Booking a flight to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) may be cheaper, and the drive to Helena is only 1h 37m away.
  • Flights to Montana are more frequent from West-Coast cities, while flying in from the East Coast can be more expensive and may offer fewer flights.
  • Flights to Billings Logan International Airport (BIL) are best for anyone wanting to see the eastern part of Montana. You will find nearby national forests and wildlife refuges. From here you can take a short flight to Helena or drive a few hours in a rental car.
  • If you want to visit multiple cities, national parks, or go sightseeing, consider flying to Missoula. It is located closer to the center of the state, and it is a great place to book domestic flights to surrounding cities. Helena is about 1h and 43m from Missoula by rental car.
  • A flight to Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) outside of Kalispell is the best place to land for anyone wanting to enjoy a nice and relaxing hot spring. While there is a hot spring about 36m outside of Helena, flights to Glacier Park International Airport are far less expensive than flights to Helena.
  • Booking a flight to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is one way to experience one of Montana’s most popular ski resorts. Another option is flying to Missoula International Airport, which may be less expensive and also closer to other skiing mountains in Montana.

Terrible, decided to delay our flight since another flight require a flight captain

staff and crew were great but the flight delays for the last few flights are insane. After a long day of work and you will get a notification of flights delay is not the message we want to see. And for some reason it keeps happening often this year.

I love southwest. I can not wait until all the planes convert to the upgraded planes. I love the charging option and the newer seats. Thank you from a very loyal Southwest customer.

My return flight was much better than the flight there! I paid for seat to Veagas but not the return. Thankgoodness they assigned me a seat with additional leg room as I have back and leg problems. I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

My first flight from LGA to STL was not good. They didn't do service until over halfway through the flight, the internet didn't really work, and the crew all seemed like they didn't want to be there.

We were stressed about landing as our connecting flight was about to start boarding, being unfamiliar with the airport or where the gates were. We exited the plane to discover we were at the gate we needed. We would be getting back on the same plane but nobody told us we could have just stayed onboard. My wife and I were seated on aisle seats across from each other. We asked if there was a way we could sit together. Once we were at cruising altitude they let us move to an unoccupied row so that was nice.

It’s Southwest. The seats are small, the snacks are meh, it’s $50 to check a bag. It’s exactly fine. Could have been better. Could have been worse. It’s not Spirit

They delayed my flight all day but didn't try to reschedule me until all other options were gone. Ended up on a red eye. Not happy. Lesson learned, don't book the last flight from SJC to RDU.

Every single flight I take with southwest is delayed by at least one hour. Unbelievable

When I made my reservation it would have been nice if kayak would have included my luggage. Unaware that I had to pay $45 each way. Should have asked at reservation time if luggage was being checked

No complaints. Nothing for entertainment, but it's a regional smaller body aircraft, not a longer range long body. Didn't partake in any snacks, mainly slept for the whole short flight. Got me to A to B as intended.

Other than delays by two-three hours it was good.

The Drop Bag sounded like a good idea, but in reality it was a very long line with few employees to assist as you did the work to check in your bag. Take a carry on bag and skip Drop Bag! Our flight was delayed several times with no explanation. What food? We had a choice of apple juice or water.

same as the first when you pay for choice of seats than you don't receive them its very frustrating it was an extra fee of $80 dollars Craig Molan

The flight was direct, anytime a flight is on time, and there's not a layover that risk yet another delay is a win!!

Didn’t even get on, check my flight to Seattle for details. Do better Alaska.

WOuld have liked coffee or pretzels but other than that, crew and pilot and flight were great. Seat was great, too.

The flight 2161 was cancelled after repeated delays; for some reason the crew and not the tower located in Billings, Montana made the call. A cancelled flight is not a big deal, it happens. It was very disappointing that upon cancelling the flight it was a free for all to get to the counter for rebooking. Priority seating and first class ticket holders should have been giving priority to get on the next available flight. Most would agree that the process of moving states away, w/a cat, is stressful. A cancelled flight, 90 minutes to rebook, no place to stay, medication that was to be refrigerated and trying to find a local pet friendly hotel significantly added to the stress. Had I been able to rebook (per priority boarding SOP) I could have called the place I had just checked out of as my room most likely was just as I'd left it, including with pet supplies (which also had to be repurchased). While waiting to rebook, many of us called Alaska Airlines 800 number hoping to get a new flight; the waiting time -- this is not a joke -- was eight (8) hours, which dropped to "just" two (2) hours about 45-minutes later. Due to the cancellation I had to spend $268.75 and I still have not been refunded for the change in ticket (first class to regular). Each time I've call, five times now, the wait time was absurd, or a message of call back is given. Hopefully visiting the airport and talking with an agent face to face will be the final chapter to this experience. Alaska has been my go to air travel for years, hopefully this trip was just a hiccup. A system that forces customer's to spend hours of their time (money) to get a just due refund is not a working system. I suggest Alaska Airlines hire more representatives to handle calls; time is more valuable than money, spending 90 minutes to rebook a flight, without the difference being automatic is absurd. There are things called computers, they do amazing things. Once the flight was cancelled, only three agents were working to rebook the PAX, This too was unacceptable. First class ticket holders pay for first-class service, this should include rebooking on flights that are cancelled. I recall a time when flights were cancelled the airline would offer a hotel should the next flight not be until the following day? I had no idea that was no longer SOP; many could return home, several of us could not. The agents were pleasant once the PAX had their turn to rebook, this was true down in baggage area as well. The flight out the next day was also what I'd come to find of Alaska Airlines.

The crew inside the airport for Alaska was rude, lazy and incompetent

Larger seats with a bit more room would be good! Thanks for all your hard work. I think we are all feeling a bit down these days economically and your positive attitudes, both from SJC to Seattle and from Seattle to Bozeman makes more of a difference than you can see! Thank you and Merry Christmas! I hope all your financial needs are met and that very good things come your way.

As an Elevance employee, don't we get priority boarding? Also, I boarded zone 5 and could not get normal carry on in luggage space. There were many Delta employees on the flight and their bags, which were large and could only fit two bags per compartment, got preference over customers so I had to check my bag.

Everything went smoothly, WiFi connection was strong. Time to upgrade the regional planes, we are all on top of each other. No room to comfortably do anything.

The bathroom is disgustingly dirty. It looks like the crew members didn’t clean it on a regular basis. Also, who made the bathroom so small?. I am not a big girl but I still feel very cramped inside. Def unpleasant experience to use the bathroom.

My experience with Delta is always pleasant. My return flight #1426 from ATL to RIC was very delayed with departure and landing. It also took a substantial amount of time for baggage claim. It was already late at night, so the delays made for a very long day. I did not get home until after 12 midnight.

I had a great flight with delta. Plane was clean and the staff was nice, I would fly again with delta.

After flying with Qatar Airways and Kenya Airlines. Delta leaves a lot to be desired

A 6hr delay is going to put a damper on all reviews. It was almost impossible to get into the Delta club also. Zero conveyance. I could not use my status for anything. Makes me wonder why am I loyal to delta?

I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!

One of the best crews and best flights I’ve ever had! Really great experience

The bus ride from the terminal to board the plane is uncomfortable and stressful when making a connection.

It is completely insane to me that first class does not include WiFi. Also does not include lounge access. Port for phone charging did not work. The crew was absolutely lovely, and the food was excellent.

I appreciate how quickly and kindly the people at the gate at DCA accommodated several of us who wanted to switch from the 6pm flight to the 5pm flight at the last minute. The flight crew was helpful to us too (dealing with luggage).

Very uncomfortable and cramped seats. Everything else was okay, the crew members were nice but nothing was exceptional.

Check in went smoothly. Flight attendant who was assigned my area barely paid any attention to me! She acted as though she was extremely busy and flustered. Maybe she was new?! I told her to change the language on my screen, she said she’d come back to help me but never did so I was able to solve the problem on my own. She came back and said she’d made adjustments on her end. Highly doubt it because I found the setting to change the language! Also, I noticed everyone was eating before we landed so I pushed my help button and she never came so I got up to find her to ask her if I can have breakfast. She said they are not serving breakfast but I can have a sandwich. Yes, that was her response as I saw everyone eating breakfast!!!

United staff were very communicative, the new starlink Wifi is amazing as I was able to work easily.

Starlink internet made the flight time shrink and I was able to work.

Seats are made for children. An 8 hour flight with tiny seats is more like a cattle car. Lost bags at Rome airport caused a 7 hour delay.

We sat on the tarmac in Denver for over 30 minutes because a plane was in our gate. The pilot kept saying it will just be 5 minutes or less. However, we sat for over 30 minutes. Experiences like this make customers not trust what the pilot is saying.

Sitting on the runway after we land for almost two hours! Not sure if we should blame United or Just Dumpy Vance.

Please please take consideration when setting cabin temperature. The vents were not functional and it was over 70 degrees in the cabin during the winter months when most people are used to much cooler indoor temperatures. I was down to my white t-shirt and the sweat pants I wore from Auckland to San Francisco and was sweating profusely and there was NO VENT!

Flight was comfortable- just had to endure a 1 hr delay because of some maintenance issue. Happy that American Airlines does these final checks but just wish they would conduct this maintenance before the flights.

All good. Flight crew was super friendly at the end of a long day

All good. Easy check in and boarding. Lovely flight crew

Friendly crew and pilot. And thank you to the pilot for his smooth landing technique where the wheels don't hit the ground hard - that should be table stakes but doesn't seem to be the case nowadays.

Four hour delay due to late plane arrival- second year in a row on MCO - DCA route. Pitiful service reliability from American. Will avoid in future

Flight was fine, food could have improved (Chicken Enchiladas) and so could the entertainment options on the seat rest (there was none).

I have generally had positive experiences with American Airlines (outside a handful of delayed flights), which is why I wanted to share this feedback constructively. On my recent flight, my travel experience was extremely uncomfortable because my seat mate significantly encroached into my assigned seat space for the duration of the flight. As a result, I was forced to sit partially sideways, with much of my shoulder and upper body extending into the aisle. Unfortunately, my back still hurts from maintaining that awkward position.I recognize that this is a sensitive and challenging issue for airlines and cabin crews to address. Everyone deserves to travel with dignity and respect, and I understand that individual circumstances can vary. However, fairness also requires that all passengers have reasonable access to the seat space they have paid for. When one passenger's use of space substantially impacts another passenger's ability to sit safely and comfortably, there should be a practical solution available.I appreciate the complexities involved, but I hope American Airlines will continue exploring ways to ensure that all passengers can travel comfortably and equitably. This experience detracted significantly from what should have been a routine flight.

The crew was great! The issue for me is the aircraft. The Airbus A32x is just not comfortable enough and the entertainment delivery via personal devices is problematic.

It was a 3 hour flight from Dallas to Missoula. The aircraft did not have power plugs, internet or in-flight entertainment. When boarding, one flight attendant was "somewhere in the airport" so delayed the boarding process (not coming from another flight) although we did take off on time and landed early. In flight there was little to no service - we got the standard beverage but no real connection with the crew which feels unusual for a 3 hour flight. A passenger needed help stowing her bag and got no assistance, and actually some passive aggressive comments from the flight attendants about "she needs to remove the extender" and "she'll have to find a place for it". I have seen others be helpful and put a bag in the closet, or support assistance as the boarding door was already closed. Just not a great experience considering the cost of my round trip ticket {$1000}.

You were more on time than United. I'm so over united delays.
