How delays work at BOI

A ground stop holds flights bound for BOI at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • Treefort Outpost Food and Drink is a full-service restaurant on the pre-security side, open daily from 4:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  • Vending machines in the arrivals lobby and baggage claim are open 24 hours a day and offer snacks and drinks.
  • The public side of the airport is open 24 hours, but the checkpoint closes after the last departure. Overnight travelers should plan to stay landside.
  • Look for the curbs by color on the lower level to find taxis, hotel shuttles and paid shuttles quickly.
