Are there any discussions in the works for creating direct flights from Boise, Idaho to either Portland, OR and/or Seattle, WA? As far as I'm aware, the only possible way to fly between Boise/Portland or between Boise/Seattle is to fly all the way to Oakland, CA, which turns a 60-minute direct flight into a 4-8 hour ordeal depending upon the day/time one flies and the length of the layover. As Boise continues to grow--with many coming from Oregon and Washington--I know that this question is being asked by many. Many SW regulars have opted to fly Alaskan Airlines and pay the additional baggage fees simply to cut down the time it takes to travel from Boise to Portland/Seattle. As a loyal SW customer, feedback and input on this question is greatly appreciated 🙂
