"Thank you for starting my travel so well"

(United States)

Not Verified | Forgot my mask and expected to be greeted with a negative/cold attitude but it was quite the opposite. The attendant was quick to help me get my bag tags (helping me use the kiosk most efficiently) and a cloth mask. Each attendant I came across from the ticket counter-TSA security-gate were very friendly. Thank you for starting my travel so well.

"TSA in this airport need sensitivity training"

(United States)

Not Verified | A young woman was ahead of me at the TSA line and an older grumpy TSA agent told her to put a jacket on because her tank top was "pretty revealing." There was nothing special or revealing about this tank top, just your normal tank top that shows your shoulders as a tank top does. The airport is not a private school or a church. This man had no right to tell this poor girl to put a jacket on. Who does he think he is? The pastor of a church? She probably felt so embarrassed and ashamed and had absolutely nothing to feel that way about. He said it loudly enough that all of the people visibly turned around in line to look at her. The TSA in this airport need sensitivity training. This agent should be reprimanded. He is not this woman's father or authority figure in any way besides to check that she and everyone around her is making safe decisions to fly, he is not the dress code police. Despicable. It's 2020, women can wear a tank top if they choose to and absolutely nobody at the airport should feel that they have the authority to tell someone to cover up.

"they need more organization"

(United States)

Not Verified | Upon arrival at the airport, there was a huge line but only a few staff. I went through Alaska Airlines. It was very confusing where I was supposed to go because there were so many people and so many different lines. The lines didn't look like lines at all. I checked in at the kiosk, got my boarding pass, then a lady who was walking around helping people said I needed to get a bag tag printed. So I had to go back in line and wait to get the tag printed. I had to pay a $30 fee, even though I have elite status and have never had to pay a bag fee before. I had never gone through the kiosk before. Then when I got to the front, she said I needed to wait to answer some questions. After standing there several minutes and seeing many people get helped who were there after me, I was finally helped. They just needed emergency contact name and number. Then going to the line for the security check, there were about 300 people there. I got to the airport an hour before my flight and when I got to the gate, they were already boarding. Seriously, they need more organization and more staff to help customers.

"not great, but pretty good"

(United States)

Boise is a smaller sized airport which takes in most if the state's airline traffic. Walking into the airport from the parking garage in the winter time can be quite grueling and in summer afternoons the outside can be very hot. Check in lines are never too long and the check in area is large with very pretty murals on the walls to look at. Lighting in any part of the terminal is not a problem with great natural light. Pre TSA there is only one eating area that is nothing special and the baggage claim is older giving you a 90's esque feel. For the size if the airport, the baggage handlers do take their sweet time getting the bags to their destination. I have waited over half an hour for bags before. Moving on to TSA, the lines are usually quick and screening does not take long. There is only one full body detector but traffic still flows freely. Due to the recent TSA problems though, the lines have reached back towards check in, but lines are never hectic in the morning. Post TSA is a set of large windows and an eating area. The windows give a great view across the airport. Food in the airport is classy, but a little sub par. The McDonalds that used to be the main attraction is now replaced with more Boise-like restaurants. Five guys and Einsteins bagels take up most of the hunger goers. On the other side of the eating are is a local brewing company. Shopping in the upper terminal is nothing to write home about - there is an MSNBC and cute convenience stores. The airport has no specialty shops and the stores all sell the exact same things, like candy, magazines, and little Idaho potato dolls. The C terminal below is dark, and again, very 90s esque. Birds have been seen inside the upper terminal before, they are adorable and not a nuisance to passengers. They give a somewhat natural ambiance. One of the biggest problems with the airport is their horrendous seats and very few charging ports. Most of the ports are up against walls or beams. Restrooms are located in one spot in the B terminal, and one location, just past TSA. Overall, the airport seems very clean friendly, like most of Idaho. A pretty good airport. Not great, but pretty good.

Boise Airport customer review

(United Kingdom)

The airport is a small regional airport. However there is a nice souvenir shop and a decent number of places to eat given its modest size. One thing you will see in the airport is life size cardboard cut outs of the famous Boise State American Football team the town's most famous export. There is a bus link from the airport to downtown but when I went it appeared to be having serious delays. A cab into downtown is not too expensive. The queuing times are very quick as this airport never really gets too busy as it is small.

Boise Airport customer review

Pleasant enough airport small yet not crowded enough for it to be oppressive. Free internet for your laptop throughout the terminal is good (take note Seattle Dulles and O'Hare). Easy enough to find your car hire too and the petrol station outside the airport isn't too much of a rip off. Only real complaint is the signs to/from the airport could be better.
