It's Official! You can fly from LAX to Mammoth!
Costs: Horizon Air (part of Alaska Air) is officially selling tickets from LAX to Mammoth / Yosemite Airport! I just went to http://www.horizonair.com/ and plugged in LAX - MMH on December 18th and it quoted me $207.50 round trip including taxes and fees! They will have some reduced fares ($79 each way) for select days in January...probably Mammoth Ski Area's annual "Midweek Madness" which occurs each January.
About the airplane: From http://www.marketwatch.com/ 's announcement today about the Horizon flights to Mammoth, "Horizon's flight to Mammoth will be operated with the airline's Bombardier Q400. This 74/76-seat, high-speed, twin-engine turboprop is one of the most technologically advanced regional aircraft in the world. It's as quiet and comfortable as a jet - thanks to its special technology that suppresses noise and vibration, its generously sized overhead storage bins, its unobstructed under-seat space, and its ample headroom (6' 5"). The Q400 is also among the most environmentally friendly aircraft today, burning 30% less fuel and producing 30% lower emissions than comparable jets. "
Promotion: We're so excited that we're offering to pick you up. Be the first to email us if you are on one of the first flights to Mammoth on December 18th or 19th and we'll pick you and your family / luggage / skis / snowboards for free and deliver you to your place! Just email your itinerary confirmation to info@MammothRealtySearch.com and we'll coordinate the details. We'll also deliver you back to the airport for your departure flight.

Air Service to begin from LAX to Mammoth Yosemit Airport Dec 14th, 2008
It seems as though dream will finally become reality according to a blog by Michael Carter of Aero Pacific Images / SoCal Aircraft spotting & airline news. According to this recent blog, Horizon Air is scheduled to begin selling tickets for their new route from LAX to Mammoth Yosemite Airport starting July 14th, 2008. Air service is scheduled to begin on December 14th of this year with one flight a day until spring of 2009.
This is a huge step for the Town of Mammoth Lakes and the stunning year round resort community of Mammoth Lakes. Not only will it allow visitors the option of being able to fly (currently only private planes and charters fly here), but it will also give locals the opportunity to leave for their coveted vacations directly from Mammoth as opposed to having to drive to Reno, NV or Los Angeles first.
No word yet on what ticket costs will be, however we'll keep you posted.

Mammoth Airport - Conflicting News / 4th of July
According to http://www.ifyouski.com/, scheduled air service will begin for the 2008-2009 ski season to Mammoth/ Yosemite Airport (MMH) from Los Angeles International (LAX) on December 18, 2008. Daily service provided by Horizon Airlines will continue through April 12, 2009. Airline reservations will launch July 14th, 2008. Flight schedule is as follows:
LAX - MMH 14:20 hrs - 15:25 hrs
MMH - LAX 16:05 hrs - 17:10 hrs
The aircraft used will be the Q400, an 80-seat aircraft which services many of Horizon Airlines shorter domestic routes. Mammoth/Yosemite Airport is located only 15 minutes away from the Mammoth Lakes.
However, http://www.visitmammoth.com/ says, "At this time there is no scheduled air service into the Mammoth/Yosemite Airport. An annoucement regarding commercial air service to MMH Airport from LAX will be made on Monday, July 14, 2008. "
And yet, reliable sources say that Bill Manning, airport manager, confirmed that a contract has been signed with Horizon Air.
If/when an official announcement is released, we will post it here.

Happy 4th of July! I'm getting ready for our Footloose Freedom Mile put on by the High Sierra Striders to pass by my window here at RE/MAX, followed by our town parade (the usual horses, hokey floats, and shamelss plugs by local businesses), and then the 1st annual Pops Concert at Mammoth Creek Park at 2pm, where yours truly will be tooting his own horn in the back of the orchestra for rousing renditions of Star Spangled Banner, America, and the like.
