Vegas, Here We Come! Flying Out of Williston Is a Breeze

Vegas with the Girls

I’m going to Las Vegas in November with my friends Heidi and Mandi to go to a New Kids on the Block concert -don't judge us! We just booked our flights out of Williston with Sun Country Airlines. It’s so convenient to fly right out of Williston. And inexpensive, only $74 each way!

Sun Country Returns to Williston

In May, the Sun Country revealed that they would be bringing back their flights out of Williston in September. The airline joins existing XWA carriers Delta and United expanding options for travelers. 

Seasonal Flights to Vegas

Each year, Sun Country offers seasonal nonstop flights from Williston (XWA) to Las Vegas. Service runs on Mondays and Thursdays, from early September to mid-December. You can book flights now. 

Perfect for a Long Weekend

A Thursday flight out and a Monday return gives you the perfect long weekend in Vegas. Just enough time for shows, great food, maybe a little blackjack, and plenty of people watching. Plus, flying out of Williston makes it easy and low stress. 

Or, if you don't want to spend the weekend in Vegas, you can leave on Monday and come home Thursday, still a great way to enjoy the city without taking too much time off.

Why Fall is a Smart Choice

Winter travel can be a gamble of its own: delayed flights, cancellations, de-icing, and the stress of wondering if you'll make it back when you planned. That fall Vegas trip starts to look really smart. In and out before the snow traps you at the airport with a $12 muffin.
