It’s no secret that flying local has benefits, like added convenience, friendly faces, and local coffee. At the Casper Airport, we do our best to make your holiday travels merry and bright from check-in to takeoff. If you’re flying Casper this year, our guide to flying local this holiday season makes your travels a little easier and much more cheerful.

The Benefit of Flying Local

Flying locally not only supports the community you live in, but also saves you from driving to another airport, paying more for parking, extra hotel nights, extra travel days, and increased wear and tear on your vehicle. When you fly with C/NCIA, we’ll make the start of any vacation easier and less stressful with close proximity to your front door, quick security, and safe, inexpensive parking (just $7 per day) so you can truly celebrate the holidays.

Quick Tips & Fact:

  • Kids feeling like bah-humbug? Ask for a C/NCIA coloring book!
  • Don’t be tardy to the party. Arrive 90 minutes before your scheduled flight (added bonus: you’ll have enough time to enjoy a self-serve coffee when you get through security).
  • Your treats come too. Holiday foods like fruitcake, cookies, pies, and more can go through security. View TSA’s full list here. 
  • Save your wrapping paper. Gifts should remain unwrapped through security (or ship them ahead of time to your destination).
  • Know before you go. Get live assistance from TSA: text “TRAVEL” to 275-872 and get answers to your travel questions.
  • Flight Status information is available in real time on our website.

Easier Booking with FlyMyAirport®

Our new booking widget, FlyMyAirport, makes planning your trip out of Casper easier and more convenient than ever.

The user-friendly platform focuses on our local airport, so your search starts in Casper and shows relevant flights, hotels, and rental cars without being redirected to competing travel hubs. Results and prices come directly from KAYAK, and you book straight through the airline or travel provider with no extra fees from the platform.

Looking to the Holidays & Beyond

If you’re staying home for the holidays, but still need a break from winter, now’s the time to book flights in the new year. It’s always a good idea to book early so you can have as much flexibility as possible. Keep in mind, colleges and schools around Wyoming have spring breaks in March, which is only a few months away!

For domestic flights, we suggest booking at least 1-3 months in advance. If you’re traveling in March for spring break, we recommend you book before the end of the year to avoid price spikes and limited availability. FlyMyAirport’s calendar pop-up can help you plan by highlighting which days of the week low-cost carrier flights operate.

At C/NCIA, we do our best to keep your holidays merry and bright by providing the best customer service and affordable, convenient parking so you have fewer headaches and more cheer.
