VAIL, Colo. – Nov. 9, 2009 – This winter marks the 20th anniversary of commercial air service to Eagle Airport (EGE), and with it, the continuation of the ever-popular Kids Fly Free program. For each paid adult fare (age 18 and above) for direct commercial flights into Eagle Airport, American Airlines is offering one free child’s ticket for ages 2-12. Upon arrival, children also receive free transportation to and from Vail or Beaver Creek via Colorado Mountain Express (CME) with a paying adult; free skiing or riding at Vail and Beaver Creek with a paying adult; and free lodging with a paying adult at select properties in Vail and Beaver Creek.
The entire family can get in on the deal with two specials unique to Vail and Beaver Creek; Fly In Ski Free at Vail, and Ski Free Stay Free – the value-oriented “buy three, get one free” lodging and lift ticket offer.
Guests flying into Eagle Airport on a direct commercial flight from Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, Denver, Miami and Newark between Nov. 20, 2009 and Apr. 11, 2010 can ski or ride for free at Vail and Beaver Creek on their day of arrival. To participate, skiers and riders simply show their same-day boarding pass and Vail Valley lodging confirmation at any Vail or Beaver Creek ticket window to redeem their free lift ticket valid the day of arrival only.
Guests save even more on lodging and lift tickets with the Ski Free Stay Free offer. Purchase three nights of lodging and three days of lift tickets and receive the fourth night of lodging and day of skiing or riding free. For current Ski Free Stay Free rates and details, visit www.snow.com.
