What SUN Air Travelers are Saying
Both local and visiting SUN air travelers are praising the improvements to air service at SUN.
More Convenience
“I remember years ago when the only way to fly out of Sun Valley was through Salt Lake City, or drive to Boise. In September I am flying to Athens, Greece with ONE stop in Chicago. Having more flights options makes it so much easier to travel from here to anywhere!”
Kirstin Kolski
Ketchum, Idaho
"The air service in and out of Sun Valley has made my life so much more enjoyable. I have to travel for a portion of my work, with a new family this cuts down on travel and allows more time at home. I appreciate the expanded service from San Francisco and Denver as it allows our clients an easier and faster route to the valley. Thank you Fly Sun Valley Alliance and all the partners that make this service possible."
Mathew Gershater
Founder/Executive Director - Idaho Basecamp
For decades, I have relied on our local airport for excellent service...family, friends and clients have all used the airport to get into and out of Sun Valley. I personally like getting to Seattle, Denver and the Bay Area using an airport that is convenient and hassle free!
Jake Moe
Ketchum
"As a 28-year resident I've seen many things change here in our valley. Some good, and some not so good. Among my favorite changes are the new airport terminal, regional jet service and the expanded nonstop flight service. With nonstop flights to Salt Lake, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle I can connect to the world with just one stop. Along with the expanded flights comes the competition that also helps lower fares and leaves more spending money in the pockets of our guests upon arrival to the best place in the mountains."

More Competitive Fares
“I recently went on a trip Mexico with friends from Salt Lake City. Imagine my surprise to discover that flying from SUN to our destination was actually less expensive than what my friends paid to fly from Salt Lake City."
Dan Gorham
Ketchum, Idaho
"This past spring I flew to Boston for my daughter’s college graduation. After checking fares, including departing from Salt Lake City, I found it was over a hundred dollars LESS to fly out of SUN, and connect in SLC. Same flight from SLC to BOS and no driving!"
Jim Laski
Bellevue, Idaho
“I flew back east in September to visit family. I was so grateful to find a round trip from Sun Valley to LaGuardia (the easier airport in New York City), with only one stop for under $400. A great price and no drive to Boise!”
Denise DeLisser
Hailey, Idaho
“I am impressed at the added service and more competitive pricing that has given us opportunities to fly from Sun Valley instead of traveling to Boise and Salt Lake City because in the past, the pricing was usually out of reach for locals. While making reservations to head to the East Coast this coming spring break I started with the usual departure cities, but thought - let’s just see if Sun Valley can beat the prices and I was pleasantly surprised to find out - YES they can! Let alone saving time, gas to travel and parking costs. Fly Sun Valley Alliance is making it possible for all to travel by air! Thank you.”

Better for Business
“As a small business owner, I know how important air service is to my customers. As a local who only gets to travel during the off season, I really appreciate having more affordable flights available year-round, which allows me to get out of town conveniently, while saving money. I am grateful that our community has this resource, and the only thing better than getting out of town easily, is coming home.”
Jacob Frehling
Co-owner, Maude’s Coffee & Clothes, Ketchum
“Reliable and affordable air travel is essential to building a business in a place like Ketchum. It allows us to stay connected to partners, retailers, and customers across the country while choosing to base our company in the Wood River Valley. Without it, scaling would be significantly harder. With it, we’re able to grow thoughtfully and create more jobs locally—bringing opportunity back into the community we call home.”
