The Telluride/Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is the primary airport for Telluride. Guests can take advantage of 14 direct flights from 11 major U.S. cities (Including Chicago O'Hare) to the Telluride/Montrose Regional Airport, a scenic 65 miles, or one and a half hours away from Telluride. All options are listed below. FLYING TO TELLURIDE AIRPORT The Telluride Airport sits atop Deep Creek Mesa and is North America's highest commercial airport. Flights into this airport are via commercial turboprop (Boutique Air), commercial jet (Denver Air Connections) and private jet aircraft. Airlines also codeshare with United (www.united.com) if you are flying from an area other than Denver. At times, due to weather, flights may be diverted to area airports 90 minutes away or cancelled outright. Should this occur, the airlines will provide ground transportation to your lodging, FLYING TO MONTROSE REGIONAL AIRPORT Montrose to Telluride – approximately 1 hour and 15 minute drive If you are flying into Montrose Airport (which we recommend due to its proximity and reliability), you should arrange for a shuttle with Telluride Express or Mountain Limo.

There are also car rental services on site at the airport, but please note that parking is limited in Telluride, and that there is a fee to park almost everywhere.
