The Latest: The 10 Worst Connecting Airports From Boise

Have you ever found yourself rushing to make a connecting flight only to discover that your next gate is practically in another zip code? If you've been through Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) or Denver International Airport (DEN), you might know exactly what I'm talking about.

The journey from security to the gate at SLC can take a whopping 19 minutes. That's enough time to listen to most of a podcast episode or nearly half an hour of your favorite album. And don't get me started on DEN, where the longest trek between two gates can consume 34 minutes. That's more than half an hour of power-walking, suitcase-dragging, and clock-watching stress. Fun, right?

These two airports have something else in common besides their vast expanses: low connectivity scores. This means they're not exactly ideal when it comes to making connecting flights, which is a bit of a bummer if you're a frequent flyer.

Here's an interesting tidbit. Did you know that Salt Lake City and Denver are the most common destinations for connecting flights from the Boise Airport? You may find yourself asking, "Why these two?" It could be due to a variety of factors, such as the airlines that operate at these airports, geographical location, or even flight demand.

So next time you're booking a flight with a connection, maybe give a second thought to routing through SLC or DEN. Unless, of course, you're a fan of long walks in the airport. Who knows, you might just get a good workout in between flights!
