Boise Airport Guide

BOI Airport Overview

Boise Airport (BOI) has one terminal with Concourses B and C. The airport is compact and straightforward to navigate, with dining and shopping before and after security, free WiFi, bottle refill stations and several 24-hour vending options. There are no airport lounges, public showers or luggage storage facilities.

Sleeping in Boise Airport

If you’re planning to sleep at Boise Airport, the public area of the terminal remains open 24 hours, but the security checkpoint closes after the final departures. Overnight sleepers should therefore plan on staying landside. Travellers have reported padded, armrest-free benches near the ticket counters, including a quiet alcove near the United Airlines counter. Read our Boise Airport Sleep Guide for the best sleeping spots, overnight tips, and what to expect before you settle in.

For uninterrupted sleep, some hotels are within a short shuttle ride of the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.
