It seems wild to think that Boise has nonstop flights to Honolulu again. Everything I've heard indicates that Allegiant's Las Vegas flights have been a winner for them, and I really hope Hawaii does well enough to bump it up a few more times per week, maybe even daily in the long run.

Also, American and US Airways are merging. Huge, huge news in the airline industry. How will this affect Boise? Well, I think fares top to bottom are going to be quite a lot higher than they have been in the past. Make no mistake about it, the merger is a big loss for consumers. However, as American does not currently serve Boise, we may be less affected than other cities particularly those in the Eastern US. But I'm afraid that the higher fares may result in a continued dip in passenger numbers.
