Steamboat, Vail and Beaver Creek get more accessible each season thanks to ever-expanding flight schedules. In winter, you can fly non-stop into those regional airports from over 16 major US cities. As summer attracts more and more hikers, bikers, rafters, and all-around outdoor lovers, these airports continue to add new flights during this season.

Many Vail Valley travelers arrive via I-70 from Denver, but those in the know can avoid unexpected road closures and congestion by flying direct. With the Eagle airport being less than 40 miles to the resorts, you can literally step off the plane and into your ski or hiking boots shortly after landing.
Denver International Airport (DEN) is the most convenient airport to fly into and then it's a 2-hour drive to Breckenridge.
The Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) located in Eagle, west of Vail is another option. The drive is 1 1/2 hours from that airport to Breckenridge.
Between these options, you're bound to find a direct flight that will save you missed connections and delayed, or even worse, lost luggage.
And it's next to impossible to travel on mountain vacation with just a carryon! Between clothing and gear, the luggage piles up. So ship it ahead of time instead of lugging it through the airport. Ship & Play offers an easy solution for sending sporting equipment and luggage.
For our Vail/Beaver Creek guests, the Vail Valley Jet Center, located at Eagle County Airport (EGE), is known as one of the top FBOs in the country, often referred to as the “the Ritz Carlton of FBO’s”.
