Just started looking myself. Southwest appears to have the best not-horrible flights MSY to Bozeman. That's all I got.

My best tip, we used the off-airport Enterprise for our week in Montana. It was WAY cheaper. Like $800/week cheaper.

Our Uber driver from Enterprise to the airport said she spent lots of time taking people from BZN to Big Sky. It surprised me a bit that people were Ubering over 1 hour each way.

Tons of those visitors are "big city" people from San Fran, NYC, Boston, LA, etc. that are chicken shits when it comes to driving in the snow and what not, or with directions.

OP there's not a ton of options. What time of year are you looking?

Something a lot of people don't know is that theres not a lot of spring due to the snow melt and mud season, and stuff closes down quickly for the fall. So be mindful of those if not planning a ski trip.

I google corporate codes and use the best one...

I did fly into Bozeman about a week ago and noticed a field with probably 100 expeditions and another one with tahoes and minivans at the airport. I guess the rental boom for summer yellowstone season is over and they keep them there for winter ski season? Seemed weird seeing so many of them and they still wanted like $1000+ for 4 days tahoe rental.

At the actual Bozeman Enterprise, we upgraded to a Tahoe for an extra $100 over the Full Sized car I had booked. It was $750 for a week + 1 day after the fees.

The airport location was approaching $2k for an SUV for a week. It was worth the $70 in uber costs.

I second Turo. We also got a 4 door jeep for around $500. Pick up and drop off right at front of the airport.

There’s a really good looking gal at the enterprise in Bozeman.

Depending on where you’re traveling from (assuming Louisiana) you can get there via Delta/Atlanta, United/Houston or American/Dallas from BTR. I believe Southwest can get you there from MSY via SLC or Denver.
