Boise Adds Nonstop Flights to Nashville

Idahoans who want to get away to one of America’s most fun and desirable locations can enjoy a new nonstop flight from Boise. Southwest Airlines announced that beginning next summer, folks can fly to Nashville. Idaho’s location hasn’t allowed many nonstop flights, so this announcement is big news.

The flight will be once a week flying on Saturdays. The Idaho Statesman reports the flights will begin June 5, 2027, through July 31, 2027. The addition of the Nashville flight shows that more and more people are moving to Idaho. Folks won't have to travel to Denver, Salt Lake City, Chicago or other cities to get to Nashvegas.
