Idaho’s busiest civil field — fourth straight record year. - >- One three-level terminal, Concourses B and C, one TSA checkpoint. Official ask: two hours before departure. Landside is 24/7; TSA is not. - >- Eight official airlines (Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, Sun Country, United) and 29 official nonstops. Trust FIDS — HNL / STS / some LAS and LAX metal are dated starts. - >- No passenger lounge. Live Priority Pass USA has no Boise / BOI pin. Sleeping in Airports (13 Aug 2026): no pay lounge. Aggregator “Idaho Central Credit Union Lounge” is not on any official page. - >- CLEAR and TSA PreCheck are at the one checkpoint. Official liquid dump sits next to TSA so you can empty a bottle and refill airside. - >- No terminal rail. VRT Routes 2 / 3 / 20 Mon–Sat, $1.50 adult / $2.50 all-day. Rideshare is the east end of the upper curb — not downstairs with the taxis. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Official ask is two hours — TSA opens one hour before the first departure detail: >- Landside stays open 24/7. Overnight sleepers stay in front of TSA. REAL ID (Idaho Star Card), passport, or TSA’s other acceptable IDs — from 1 Feb 2026 a $45 Confirm.ID fee is the fallback if you still want to fly without one. summary: >- Ticket counters and kiosks sit on Level 2. The checkpoint opens one hour before the day’s first scheduled departure and typically closes about 25 minutes before the last. category: timing - label: Concourses title: >- One checkpoint, then B upstairs or C downstairs — C is mostly stairs to the ramp detail: >- Wikipedia’s gate-by-airline map is useful but stale the moment FIDS moves a bank. There is no Concourse A today — the master-plan A is still a 2027-start project. Do not walk south toward Gowen Field / the 124th Fighter Wing. summary: >- Concourse B is the jetbridge hall (United, Southwest, Delta, American, common-use). Concourse C is Alaska-only; only C8a and C12 have bridges. category: terminal - label: Food title: Clear first — the real kitchen is the food court plus Tap House and Turas detail: >- Nothing except vending stays open overnight. Travel@Ease is 24 hours on B; Concourse C has a 24/7 hot-food / espresso machine. Construction-updates HTML still reads like a renovation notice — trust the Restaurants & Shops list, not that page. summary: >- Landside Treefort Outpost (04:30–21:00) is the only sit-down before TSA. After security: Bardenay, Idaho Tap House (B), Turas Flights & Bites (C), plus a food-court stack. category: food - label: Live checks title: 'No lounge, no PP, no Spirit — and this is not Gowen Field ops' detail: >- Homepage and the destinations page say 29 nonstops / eight airlines. The 23 Jan 2026 press release still said 27 — ONT and later seasonal adds closed the gap. Confirm HNL (Alaska from 17 Dec 2026), STS (Alaska from 2 Nov 2026), Frontier LAS (from 10 Sep 2026), and Southwest LAX (from 11 Mar 2027) on FIDS, not a blog map. summary: >- Live Priority Pass USA (9 Sep 2026) has no Boise pin. Official airlines: eight names, no Spirit. Gem Air and McCall Aviation ticket on Level 1 west of bags — they are not the jetway product. category: status lounges: [] waterOptions: - kind: refill name: Airside fillers near the food-court restrooms / SARA zone: airside summary: >- Official pages do not publish a filler map. Sleeping in Airports (reader note May 2024, guide still current 13 Aug 2026) says bottle stations throughout.
