No need for layovers or multiple stops (adding countless hours to your trip).

These 2 major airports allow for more flexibility (many direct flight options available).

While it will require you to drive 3-5 hours to drive to the park from there, you have several advantages with these options that you wouldn’t get if you went with the other local airports above:

Las Vegas (McCarren International Airport).

Therefore, out of the 7 options above, that leaves 2 worth considering for that: Here are the the 2 major and closest airports to Zion National Park: You’re way better off in my opinion landing in a major airport, then driving to Zion directly because it’ll be far less travel time (provided you drive directly there). In my opinion, that’s too long so if you’re looking for direct flights to an airport closest to Zion, you can technically omit 5 of the options above since it would likely have similar results (unless you are OK with the higher costs and extra stops). The total flight time (I looked this up) on average is around 17 hours of (stop/s included). There are flights from major cities like NYC that’ll take you there, but you will have to make stops in other major cities and in this case, it’s usually Las Vegas or Salt Lake City first, then taking connecting flights to Cedar City Airport.

You can fly into these airports, but there are usually 1-2 stops along the way, adding more flight time overall to your trip.įor example, let’s take Cedar City, the airport closest to Zion:.

The flights to these places are typically more expensive (including renting cars).

Because they are local, most major airports do not have direct flights there.

Most of these airports are local airports (not major).

Salt Lake City Airport (4-5 hour drive from Zion).īased on this list, you would think that the first 3 options are the best right? Well there are 4 catches to keep in mind with all of them:.

South Valley Regional Airport (3-4 hour drive from Zion).

Provo Airport Utah (3-4 hour drive from Zion).

Las Vegas, McCarran International Airport Las Vegas (3 hour drive from Zion).

George Regional Airport (1 hour drive from Zion).

Kanab Airport (30 minute drive from Zion).

Cedar City Regional Airport (officially it’s airport closest to Zion, it’s a 25 minute drive to it).
