Jackson Hole Airport

Jackson Hole Airport is about 9 miles (15 km) north of the town of Jackson, a drive of roughly 20 minutes on US Highway 89/191 through Grand Teton National Park. Taxis, ride apps, rental cars and pre-booked transfers all make the trip, and snow can slow the road in winter.

Teton Village, the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, is about 20 miles (32 km) from the airport, usually around 35 minutes by car. Most drivers go south toward Jackson and then west to Wilson and the village. Allow more time after heavy snowfall or on busy ski-season afternoons.

Yes. Jackson Hole Airport stands inside Grand Teton National Park and is the only commercial airport in the United States located within a national park. Its terminal height is capped to protect views of the Teton Range, and the airport closes overnight, so travelers cannot sleep in the terminal or in parked vehicles.

Jackson Hole Airport has one L-shaped terminal. The ticketing lobby is at the north end, baggage claim with three carousels is at the south end, and all gates share one boarding area past security. There are no jet bridges, so you walk between the aircraft and the terminal by stairs or ramp.

United, American, Delta and Alaska Airlines serve Jackson Hole. United flies year-round to Denver, American to Dallas/Fort Worth and Delta to Salt Lake City. Seasonal winter and summer nonstops add cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, Newark and New York JFK.

No. All flights at Jackson Hole Airport are domestic, so there is no immigration or customs on arrival. Travelers coming from abroad clear US immigration and customs at their first US airport, such as Denver, Dallas/Fort Worth or Salt Lake City, and then take a connecting flight to Jackson.

There is no regular year-round bus line from the terminal. In winter 2025-26 the START bus system ran a pilot airport shuttle to stops in Jackson, so check startbus.com for the current season. Most travelers use a rental car, a taxi, a ride app or a pre-booked transfer instead.

Uber and Lyft pick up on the north island in front of the ticketing lobby, under the Ride App Pickup sign. You request the ride in the app once you have your bags. Fares rise with demand, and fewer cars may be available late at night or at the busiest times.

Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz and National have counters in the terminal near baggage claim. Dollar and Thrifty have offices in Jackson, reached by a free shuttle from the center island across the crosswalk. In winter, ask for a vehicle suited to snow if you plan to drive beyond town.

No airline lounge has been confirmed at Jackson Hole Airport. Past security, the boarding area has Bar Osta and Cafe Bistro near gates 9 and 10, seating by a fireplace, a gift shop and a market, which is where most passengers wait for their flight.

The terminal opens at 4:00 am and closes at 11:00 pm. Because the airport is inside Grand Teton National Park, overnight stays in the terminal and sleeping in vehicles are not allowed. Plan any very late arrival or very early departure around these hours.

No. Bear spray is not allowed in checked or carry-on bags. From June to October you can rent it at the kiosk by carousel 3 in baggage claim and return it before you fly home, and recycling stations in the terminal take canisters you bought in town.

The short-term lot is at the south end of the terminal, next to the baggage claim exit, and the main and overflow lots hold long-term parking. You take a ticket on entry and pay online or at the exit kiosk. Spaces can run short on peak ski and holiday dates.
