EGE Air Alliance Secures New, Non-Stop Flight on United from Houston to
Vail’s Eagle County Regional Airport this Summer
Inaugural Summer Flight Scheduled for June 27
“Houston is a natural extension of our summer flight market,” said Brown. “There is a large second homeowner base in South Texas and we believe the times of the flight will provide easy connections for our guests from Mexico and Latin America. We are excited to partner with United on this opportunity, which we believe is a great addition to the existing, year-round service they provide from Denver to EGE.”
The northbound flight will depart Houston at approximately 5:50 p.m. with an arrival at EGE at 7:20 p.m. The flight to Houston will depart EGE at approximately 7:20 a.m. with an arrival at 10:40 a.m. The flight times make it ideal for connecting to other major cities such as New York, Newark, Tampa, Washington D.C, Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans and international destinations such as Mexico City and Guadalajara.
Travelers will be flying on a Boeing 737-700 with 118 seats – 106 in coach and 12 in first class.
The EGE Air Alliance was able to secure this flight due to community support from more than 50 businesses; an historic level of support.
