The article highlights how Idaho, particularly Boise, ranks as one of the most expensive states to travel from in the U.S. Despite Idaho’s natural beauty and the appeal of its lifestyle, the high cost of flights is a downside.
In fact, Idaho ranks as the sixth most expensive state for travel, even surpassing Hawaii in terms of flight costs. Boise’s airport BOI is also the 11th most expensive in the country, with an average plane ticket costing over $400.
The article suggests that residents are “double-screwed,” facing high travel costs both within their state and from the airport.
This adds to the financial challenges of living in Idaho, as the cost of living continues to rise, and the article playfully suggests that Hawaii might become a more appealing option for those looking for more affordable travel.
