Should You Fly into Denver or Eagle for Vail and Beaver Creek?

Should you fly into Denver or Eagle for Vail and Beaver Creek?

Fly into Eagle County Airport, code EGE, if you can get a flight and value your time: it is about 35 minutes from Vail and 30 from Beaver Creek. Fly into Denver International if you want more flights and lower fares, then plan on about a two hour drive west. Many regulars fly into one and out of the other.

The case for Eagle

Eagle is the valley’s own airport. Seasonal nonstops arrive from major hubs all winter, private aviation lands at the Vail Valley Jet Center year round, and you can be on the mountain within an hour of touching down. The runway sits in the mountains, so severe weather occasionally diverts flights, which is the main tradeoff. For ground transportation, we meet every arrival curbside, commercial or private. See our Eagle Airport and Vail Valley Jet Center car service.

The case for Denver

Denver International has nonstops from nearly everywhere, more daily frequencies, and usually cheaper fares. The cost is the drive: about two hours to Vail in good conditions, longer on storm weekends. A private chauffeur turns that drive into the easy part, door to door with your gear handled. See our Denver to Vail car service and Denver to Beaver Creek private transportation.

The smart hybrid

Plenty of travelers fly into whichever airport has the better schedule and out of the other. Since we serve both, one company can handle both ends of the trip, and you never touch a rental car or an I-70 storm.
