Flying into Steamboat Springs Colorado is a Breeze!
If you plan on flying out to Colorado for your family vacation to Steamboat Springs, you can either fly into the Steamboat/Hayden (HDN) airport which is only 22 miles from the city of Steamboat and provides year round jet service, or you could also fly into Denver Colorado (DIA). Obviously, the most convenient of those 2 options is flying into the local Hayden airport. You might spend a little more money on your flights versus flying into Denver, but keep in mind you save a ton of your own personal time that can be spent at the Steamboat Ski Resort, shopping/dining in downtown Steamboat, or relaxing in the strawberry hot springs and not dealing with the traffic to get back and forth between Denver Colorado or even having to rent a car. The Denver airport is obviously serviced by many other airlines and also provides both domestic and international flights (we know how you Aussie’s love visiting Steamboat, so this might be your best option!).
The Hayden/Steamboat airport has also been recently renovated with a new restaurant, bag carousels, curbside bag claim and overall expansion to ensure your arrival and departures are as smooth as ever. Flying into a smaller airport like Hayden is a huge plus when you have young children, bags and ski equipment to tote around as well. The bag claim, car rentals and shuttles are all located on 1 level and within a short walking distance of each other. I would bet it takes longer to enter and exit the bathrooms at O’Hare than it does to land and grab your bags at the Hayden airport! If end you up flying into Denver, the drive is about 160 miles to Steamboat Springs, and you could easily break this up by spending a night in Denver along the way, or even staying a night or two in another one of Colorado’s Ski towns to mix things up!
The Winter season for 2011-2012 includes nonstop flights from nine major airports into Hayden on American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines and Frontier Airlines.
