At the airport
Check the county airport transport page and reserve the Airport Flyer or another carrier where required. Confirm flight coordination, the Mammoth Lakes stop and ski-bag allowance.
Flying into Bishop Airport for a ski holiday
Bishop Airport (BIH) is in California’s Owens Valley south of Mammoth Lakes. It is a commercial arrival gateway for Mammoth Mountain, distinct from Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH). Flights, service dates and onward vehicles need checking for the actual winter trip. Eastern Sierra Transit lists an Airport Flyer service to Mammoth Lakes; a stop in town still leaves a local shuttle, walk or taxi to the selected lodging or mountain base. Rental cars and reserved rides provide other ways north on US 395. Give the correct airport code and ski-base name when booking, because confusing BIH with MMH changes both the pickup location and road journey. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Bishop Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Winter travel
Use Caltrans QuickMap for US 395, chain controls and the final Mammoth road. Main Lodge, Canyon Lodge and Eagle Lodge are different arrival points.
