United Offers a Lift (Nonstop) to Jackson Hole For skiers in the Northeast who don't have a private jet at their disposal, getting to Jackson Hole can be a daylong journey that involves two, possibly three, layovers. For some, the prodigious powder of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort isn't enough to overcome the bother of getting to the mountain from the East Coast. United Airlines may change that. The carrier is offering daily nonstop flights to Jackson Hole from Newark Dec. 19 to Jan. 2, and flights every Saturday from Feb. 9 to March 30, according to the resort. "Hopefully these new direct flights, combined with one of the air-inclusive travel packages we offer, will open up affordable opportunities for travelers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut," Edye Smith, general manager of Jackson Hole Central Reservations, said in a statement. Ms. Smith added in an interview that a current airfare, lodging and lift ticket package offers a $200 discount per person through Dec. 31. The expansion in service comes as carriers have given travelers to Jackson Hole Airport new options, among them United's nonstop from San Francisco, and Delta's direct flights from Minneapolis this winter.
