Flight
Fly into Glacier Park International Airport (FCA). The airport is located in Kalispell, only a 20 minute drive from downtown Whitefish. Direct flights from LAX to Kalispell are approximately 2.5 hours.
Rental Car
Uber is available in limited areas and is not a reliable source of transportation in the Flathead Valley. We suggest renting a car if you are planning on exploring the area and advise booking rental cars in advance as they will sell out. Four major car rental agencies are located within the terminal, immediately adjacent to the baggage claim area. Three additional agencies are offsite, with a short shuttle ride away. Turo is another good option if rental cars have limited availability. Some hotels provide free round trip shuttles to and from the airport. Check with your hotel to see if a free shuttle is available.
