Travel


Arriving in Moscow Idaho is fairly easy, but since it is not a major metropolitan area, there are some considerations:

Moscow is serviced by the Pullman/Moscow Airport (PUW), Pullman/Moscow Airport (PUW), which is approximately 5 miles from the University of Idaho and 2 miles from downtown Pullman. There are a limited number of flights from Seattle, Washington each day (SEA www.portseattle.org/seatac), and these planes hold 37 passengers. This would be the recommended way to arrive at the conference, but dependent upon availability.

The Recommended alternative is to consider the Spokane WA International (GEG) airport, www.spokaneairports.net. The airport is a 1 hour and 30 minute drive from the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. The Spokane International airport has daily, non-stop jet services to and from major U.S. International airports, including Seattle, Boise, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Portland Oregon, and Salt Lake City.

Shuttle Service from Spokane to Moscow Idaho

The Wheatland Express Company offers daily shuttle services to and from the Spokane International Airport.  For the latest pricing and availability please visit their website at:  http://www.wheatlandexpress.com/airport.htm.

Other options.

You also have the option of using the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport (LWS) (www.lcairport.net) in Lewiston, Idaho. The Lewiston-Nez Perce Count Airport features connecting flights from Boise and Salt Lake City.  It is a 45-minute drive to University of Idaho from Lewiston. Hertz and Budget rental car agencies operate in this airport.
