Every summer I take a few trips to Helena MT, to have fun and visit family, but, recently, I have encountered a problem. There are no reasonable First class flights from Billings MT to Helena MT. BY reasonable, I mean Time efficient. The last time my travel agent found a flight, it went to Texas, and then back, with WAY to may layovers. I know that Helena is a 4 hour drive, but I hate road trips and will not fly economy (so Big Sky air lines is out of the Question) Are there any airlines that have a none-stop First Class flights to Helena that you have heard of? I used to be able to go through Salt Lake. Do you know of any good places to rent a private jet? (other than Edwards)

The only flight I was able to find online is United, connecting to Delta. You would have to change planes in Denver and Salt Lake City. The entire flight time is over 7 hours, but this may be a better option than having to fly through Texas.

If it takes 4 hours to drive, then that means the flight usually takes around 40 minutes and I doubt that they have any first class seats for a 40 minute flight. Economy really isn't that bad for that short distance.
