Off-Season Flights Boise-Salmon
October through May
Summer flights are offered 7 days/week, but in the Fall, Winter, and Spring, we slow down. We are pleased to continue offering flights October-May on Mondays and Fridays. See below for times, but please always give us a call to check flight times before making firm travel plans, as we do make frequent adjustments.
Charter is always available for this route, if you’d like to fly a date/time/route we don’t offer regularly. Charter pricing tends to work best with larger groups of travelers.
June-September
Please see our specific pages for Main Salmon and Middle Fork flights, or take a look at other backcountry options.

Need a Different Schedule?
Call us and ask about a charter. With a small community like Lemhi County, scheduling multiple round trips every day of the week just doesn’t make sense (except in the summer, when we DO fly every day of the week!). We try to talk to potential customers and choose a winter schedule that we think will suit the highest percentage of people in the area, but it doesn’t work for everyone, every time. If you have a good sized group, charter can be a cost-effective way to fly, and YOU decide the schedule.

Why Fly? Flying can save you...
Time: Ask yourself this when deciding whether to drive or fly: How much is your time worth? Aren’t you always wishing you had more time in your day? Whether you travel for business or pleasure, Gem Air flights can give you some of that time back. Some Gem Air flights save passengers over 7 hours of travel time. That’s worth something.
Money: Each trip is different, but you might be surprised at how cost-effective flying with Gem Air can be. For example, consider that you are less likely to spend as many nights in a hotel if you travel with Gem Air from Salmon to Boise. It’s possible for many business people to get to Boise with an early flight on Tuesday, do business, and fly back home on the evening flight. That means no hotel cost or expensive restaurant meal at all! Plus, you save gas money and wear and tear on your vehicle. Once you add in the value of your time, a flight starts to look pretty good.
Energy: Flying with Gem air also saves you travel fatigue. How many people step out of the car after hours of driving and feel great? If you need to make a good impression, don’t be the person that shows up to an important meeting bleary-eyed from watching for deer and rocks on the road. Look over your notes while you fly, and arrive fresh and well-prepared after a short Gem Air flight.
