We are going to YNP this summer and due to time restrictions our DD & SIL will have to fly up to join us. Just checking prices to Jackson! Even this far out, tickets are approx $1200 for both round trip! I've not flown a lot so am wondering if it would be less if the flew to another airport in the area...I will do some more pricing, but am just wondering, as a rule of thumb, are all prices on same airline going to be approx the same? TIA!

you might find it cheaper to fly into a larger airport and then rent a car.

Prices can vary a lot for different airlines, different days, different times, number of connections, etc. Billings would be cheaper, but farther away. Salt Lake City would be cheaper still, but even farther away.I never use travel agents, but using one in this case would be helpful in finding all your options.

Or Salt Lake City. One year when we skied in Jackson Hole, we flew into Salt Lake City and drove up from there.

Allegiant flies into Idaho Falls. I book the DW on a flight from Vegas to Idaho Falls, leave early in the morning, and drive straight through to pick her up at the airport if I'm not towing. It saves her a 12 hour ride, and with no luggage I can get her in for about $50. Just an idea.

Idaho Falls should be much cheaper. It's a 2 hour drive from there to W. Yellowstone. I did a quick look and assuming you are flying from Dallas and picking a random week in July, fares were as low as $377. Major airlines are United, American and US Air.

Don't forget Idaho Falls, Id. Not far over the pass to JH. I would check all airports within reasonable driving distance.

We flew into SLC back in June of 2010 and rented an RV from Access RV for a week. Drove it to Yellowstone and it was awesome. It was a small 22-23' Class C and I could park it anywhere. Stayed in a couple different campgrounds and was really a great way to see Yellowstone since I never had to leave the park.
