SEATTLE, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- We just can't
help ourselves. Alaska Airlines is growing again in Boise with a pair of new nonstops we know our
guests have been eager to see. Starting June
16, we'll begin year-round, daily flights to Idaho Falls and Las
Vegas from Boise. With
these additional routes, we'll fly up to 36 daily departures from
Boise to 15 destinations by next
summer – all nonstop.
"We have deep roots in the Treasure Valley and our commitment to
our guests in southern Idaho keeps
getting stronger," said Brett
Catlin, vice president of network and alliances at Alaska
Airlines. "Reconnecting Boise and Idaho
Falls with nonstop air service will drive economic activity
and enable further growth of our Boise focus city, including today's
announcement of new nonstop service to Vegas."
Our service between Idaho Falls
and Boise will offer an easier,
more convenient way for our guests to connect with Idaho's capital city, which is important for
businesses and leisure travel. The flight times work out well for a
day trip from Idaho Falls to
Boise: a mid-morning departure and
then a return flight in the early evening. The added route will
also link all key population centers across the state to
Boise, joining our existing
flights from the Spokane/Coeur
d'Alene and Pullman/Moscow areas.
Vegas is Vegas. This new route has been on the wish list of many
of our guests. Las Vegas is one of
the most popular destinations from Idaho
Falls, so we worked on perfect timing: Our guests in
Idaho Falls can catch our new
flight to Boise and then
seamlessly connect to our new flight to Las Vegas.
Tickets for both new routes are available for purchase now on
alaskaair.com.

"We are so pleased that Alaska Airlines is bringing more
intrastate connectivity to the residents and businesses of
Boise. Nonstop service between
Boise and Idaho Falls enhances both communities, making
business and leisure travel more convenient between the two," said
Boise Airport Director Rebecca
Hupp.
"The flexibility Alaska Airlines' new intrastate route provides
to local residents is immeasurable," said Idaho Falls Mayor Rebecca Casper. "It provides the perfect
work-life balance to those looking to live in the beautiful
Idaho Falls region while still
maintaining access to Boise for
business reasons or connections onward for leisure travel. It's a
win for everyone."
We have more good news for our Boise guests. Starting Nov. 19, we begin flying daily nonstop service
from Boise to another heavily
requested destination in the desert: Phoenix. Originally scheduled for seasonal
flying during the winter, we'll now fly the route year-round.
