Boise Airport Cell Phone Lot Moving – More Space Available

Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 15, the cell phone lot at the Boise Airport will be in a new, much larger location just a short drive away from the current waiting area. The new location is a parking lot with individual stalls—no more pulling forward as others leave.

The new cell phone lot is adjacent to the Boise Airport Economy/Shuttle Lot and has its own entrance at 2950 S. Curtis Road. It remains free to use and is just a short 5-7 minute drive from the terminal—about the same amount of time it takes a passenger to walk from their gate to the curb for pickup.

The Treasure Valley has grown tremendously since the previous cell phone waiting area was constructed. With the increase in passengers served, the previous location caused congestion within the airport’s drive lanes which blocked access to parking facilities and impacted motorist safety. The new dedicated parking lot can accommodate more than three times as many vehicles as the other waiting area—and can grow to accommodate even more, if needed.

The existing cell phone waiting area will close on Monday, Oct. 14 after the last flight arrives and will no longer be available. Please follow signs to the new cell phone lot or use a smartphone mapping app to navigate to 2950 S. Curtis Road. Driving directions below:
