Second airline serving Pellston

Question

Had anyone else noticed that Skywest (as United Express) is adding service to Pellston and Chippewa County from Chicago this spring? I booked very reasonable seats with them to Pellston for this summer.

Answer

Yes, you're right! SkyWest, operating as United Express, has indeed started offering service to Pellston and Chippewa County Airport (PLN) from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) starting this spring. This is great news for travelers heading to northern Michigan, as it provides more options for getting to this scenic part of the state. The flights are being offered at reasonable rates, especially for those booking in advance, and they’re expected to provide an easy connection from Chicago to Pellston.

SkyWest’s service is a great addition since, historically, Delta Airlines was the main airline offering service to the area. The United Express flights will be operated by SkyWest, which is known for offering comfortable regional flights and friendly service. This will likely provide more flexibility and better options for anyone traveling to the region, particularly during the summer months when northern Michigan sees more visitors for its outdoor activities and attractions.

As for your summer trip, it sounds like you've locked in a good deal with them. Since Pellston is a smaller regional airport, it’s nice to see that more competition and options are now available, making it easier for travelers to access the area.

Advantages of SkyWest/United Express service:
- Reasonable ticket prices, especially if booked in advance.
- Direct service from Chicago O'Hare, making it easy to connect from other major cities.
- Convenient flight schedule during the summer months, ideal for tourists heading to northern Michigan.
What this means for travelers:
- More flexibility and options for those flying into Pellston or Chippewa County.
- Potential for better flight availability and competitive pricing compared to Delta’s existing offerings.
- Improved access to the popular tourist destinations of the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan.

It’s exciting to see more airlines providing service to smaller regional airports like Pellston, which can make travel more accessible and affordable. It’s a great move for the area!
