Spirit's two summer BOI-LAS flights leave barely a half hour apart. I don't know if one of these flights is up for cancellation or some cost saving measure. I guess they feel they can load up 300 people within an hour.
Jump to postAs noted before it is likely BOI passenger numbers will be flat or decline slightly as "revenge travel" ends, population growth slows/frozen real estate market, and the headwinds in the airline biz.
Jump to postIt appears Alaska’s “focus on the West” for BOI comment means beefing up existing routes fall onward:
BOI-PDX 6x daily (+1)
BOI-PHX 2x daily (+1)
BOI-SMF 2x daily (+1)
All E175s
The resumption date for BOI-IAH has been delayed once again. UA made some changes to the summer it looks like: BOI-IAH cut as noted BOI-DEN 5x daily, all mainline BOI-SFO down to 3x daily, one mainline BOI-LAX now 2x daily, Skywest BOI-ORD 2x daily, one mainline upgauged to 738 I noticed Allegiant ...
Jump to postFrom mid-March onward only full Y fares are available on UA BOI-ORD. As noted, this usually means flights are about to be scrapped. This would be a pretty shocking cut.
Jump to postFlying to Boise is getting too expensive. I can often fly to Europe from Chicago for cheaper. Alaska dumping BOI-ORD won’t help.
Jump to postBoiseDev is reporting on continued airport improvements. Their writing is so embarrassingly bad, describing the new Concourse A: “like Concourse B, hoisted up on pieces.” Continues with terms such as “glow up.” I digress. This makes it sound like they are looking to complete all of the 10 planned ga...
Jump to postInteresting AA added GEG-CLT. This is one of the few times in recent memory GEG got a new route and BOI did not. I was surprised too when I saw that. I really didn't think CLT would be a route BOI would see any time soon, but if they are willing to try GEG and it works, I wonder if we will see it i...

Jump to postAUS was always a little opportunistic from BOI, but I am surprised they can’t make BOI-ORD work even seasonally with the AA/oneworld connection opportunities at ORD. The problem is that AS and AA didn't really cooperate on the BOI-ORD flight. I think it had to do with the settlement when AS bought ...
Jump to postFor the amount of people that have been moving out of Chicago area there is still an incredible amount of home construction going on! Everytime I take Metra I see so many apts/condos going up next to the tracks. In the southwest suburbs, farms are still disappearing to new home builds. And I know p...
Jump to postIt appears AS is ending BOI-AUS/ORD permanently. They will now have no flights going east from BOI (except PHX if you’re being technical). BOI-ORD seemed to have erratic loads from my own experience and a QX FA friend’s experience. Full or half full. Not much in between. AUS was always a little opp...
Jump to postThis will be a record year at BOI. These routes started during COVID. COVID did not hit BOI that hard since the population moving in and those living outside of the city of Boise acted like COVID wasn’t real. I would agree that some of Alaska’s BOI-California adjustments have been related to tech a...

UA summer adjustments
BOI-DEN 5x daily, 4 mainline/1 E175
BOI-SFO 4x daily, all E175, summer 2023 saw mainline service
BOI-ORD 2x daily, 1 mainline/1 E175
BOI-IAH set to return late spring
BOI-LAX unchanged at 1x daily

By the way, LAXBUR, you don't get to dictate what I say. From what I can tell, you're not a moderator. You have no power over me. "Cheers."
Now, with the announced intention to merge and considering the current yield, it just does not seem to me to be a necessary expansion. BOI might be labeled as a "focus city" for AS, but it simply does not have feed to make a flight a surety with, maybe, the exception of GEG. Even then, th...
Jump to postI 100% disagree with you. If AS or HA wanted to do BOI-HNL, then they would have started it and tried it by now. HA could have tried already to connect BOI to HNL and onto the other islands now with the A321neo. I actually think this potential merger will hurt BOI. Previously for HA the costs of op...
Jump to postPersonally, I could see the AS/HA merger slightly increase the chances of BOI-HNL. Now Alaska will be able to connect BOI passengers in HNL. The other islands still see relatively limited service from the coast, while inter island will give endless connection options. I 100% disagree with you. If A...

Jump to postThere really is no "value" to value (ULCC) airlines. Unless you're short, thin, and traveling with the clothes on your back, ULCC rarely pencils out.
Jump to postUnited did some cuts in JAN/FEBish for BOI. ORD-BOI 1x to E175. DEN 3x 2 E175, 1 739. SFO to 3x E175. Always a slow time, but must be looking really slow this year with UA and AS cuts.
Jump to post[twoid][/twoid] BOI had their monthly commission meeting today. (https://www.iflyboise.com/media/1962/august-commission-2023-august-2-final.pdf) In the presentation, it was revealed that the parking garage will open August 22. You're ignoring the fact that the metropolitan is still one of the fastes...
Jump to postReal estate is not a very good reason to use for level of air service, in my opinion. Boise's housing market is not as white hot as it was a couple of years ago, but it's not Detroit which has one of the busiest airports in the nation. BOI's passenger numbers are still increasing. Buying real estat...
Jump to postI suspect Alaska was growing ahead of the market. You're seeing the real estate market freeze and tech layoffs, which is likely why you're seeing some CA routes reduced - with the exception of SAN. I would guess AS is serving more O&D on these routes which makes them more sensitive to economic c...

Jump to postAlaska has had growth spurts followed by cuts in Boise before in the last 20 years. At the moment only PSP appears to be a perm cut out of this.
Jump to postI’m guessing growth will slow. Outside of economic conditions you’re seeing staffing and plane availability issues. So I think the next “boom” of expanded service is a few years away.
Jump to postIf someone claims their flights are late “more often than not” wouldn’t that suggest that Alaska’s on time performance is around 50%? Or they just have bad luck? Or they aren’t telling the truth?
Jump to postAlaska adding back some flights for at least part of the summer: BOI-BUR goes daily 6/29-8/11, incrementally adding flights in June from 4x weekly, then back to 4x weekly. BOI-LAS goes from a planned 4x weekly to 6x weekly, also beginning 6/29, going back to daily 8/13. BOI-SJC had been down to 4x w...
Jump to postI believe AA and AS are not allowed to codeshare on flights operated by one airline to the other airline's hub - such as AS operating BOI to AA's hub, ORD - as part of the condition of AS entering Oneworld. I should also stress that I really, really think AA's ORD hub is the main issue here, not th...

I've been surprised at the number of options travelers have on that route with AS, DL, and UA all serving the route. I think last summer BOI-LAX by AS was ...
Jump to postLooks like some more cuts for summer:
UA suspending BOI-IAH, 06/01/23-10/28/23
UA suspending 2nd BOI-ORD, 5/1/23-9/28/23 (one mainline flight remains)
DL will not add back a second BOI-LAX till 9/5/23
Spirit’s second BOI-LAS flight will now start 8/9/23
