However, based on general knowledge, Boise Airport offers several ground transportation options to downtown, which is about 3 miles away. Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available and are the fastest and most-used methods, typically taking under 10 minutes. There is no rail link, but Valley Regional Transit bus route 3 provides mass transit service with a travel time of around 20 minutes.

The most expensive months are December, June, and July, where average prices reach $410–$434. Low season (September, January, October, February) offers the best value, while high season (March, July, June, December) is priciest.", "methodology": "This seasonal price baseline is a 365-day daily curve of typical round-trip fares for the route, precomputed monthly in-house from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive (the same data that backs the site), not a third party. For each calendar day we take a representative round-trip fare — a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings — and Gaussian-smooth the series so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. Thin and international routes are neighbor-filled: the seasonal shape is borrowed from the nearest dense routes (by origin-and-destination great-circle distance) with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings, so a sparse route still shows a plausible curve. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.

Booking much earlier, like 175-180 days ahead, can push fares up to around $530, so the sweet spot stays in the 4-6 week window.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. It expresses the typical round-trip fare as a function of how many days before departure a trip is booked — from about 180 days out down to the day of departure — aggregating the route's bookings by advance-purchase days and Gaussian-smoothing the curve the same way as the seasonal baseline.
