Williston Basin International Airport

Williston, United States · North America

A one-hall City of Williston field with first-hour-free parking, a live $11 daily / $66 weekly lot, Refinery after TSA, a 2019 Sloulin Terminal, and no passenger lounge — useful for United DEN and leftover Sun Country LAS if you can skip leftover Delta MSP copy and leftover ISN Uber cells.
