American Airlines’ Decision on Its Bismarck-Chicago Flight

 Keeping Its Service

According to a Facebook post from the Bismarck Airport, American Airlines is planning to keep its daily flight between Bismarck and Chicago year-round. The decision was based on the carrier's response to bookings from North Dakota travelers.

The Flight Stats

This flight departs Bismarck for Chicago's O'Hare Airport once daily, and the flight lasts about 2 hours and 30 minutes. The aircraft used is usually a regional jet such as the Embraer 175. This flight typically leaves Bismarck around 1 pm daily.

Thanks to strong local demand, this flight will continue for the foreseeable future. Having a non-stop direct flight to Chicago's O'Hare Airport really helps western North Dakota travelers with more options for connecting flights all across the United States and the world.

The Other American Airlines Flight

American Airlines also offers one other flight with direct service from Bismarck to Dallas, and this flight operates up to twice daily. This route is dependent upon peak travel periods like summer vacation months and major winter holidays like Christmas on whether it flies once or twice daily.

We have some very nice options flying out of the Bismarck Airport with not only American Airlines, but with Delta and Allegiant Air as well. Something to keep in mind as we enter the busy holiday season. Now, if we could only get a nonstop direct flight to Nashville.
