Spokane International Airport

Spokane uses a single terminal building with multiple concourses/boarding areas arranged around a central check‑in/security hall. Airlines operate from assigned gates within those concourses; most facilities (security, baggage claim, rental cars) are contained within the single terminal footprint, making inter‑gate transfers simple and mostly on foot.

Downtown Spokane is about 8-12 km (5-8 miles) from the airport and typically a 15-25 minute drive. Options:

• Rail/Metro: None (no direct train service).
• Buses: Spokane Transit Authority operates regular bus service between the airport area and downtown; check STA schedules for route times.
• Taxis: Typical fare to downtown is roughly $25-40 depending on traffic.
• Ride‑share: Uber and Lyft operate from the designated curbside pickup area.
• Driving: About 15-25 minutes to downtown depending on traffic; rental car desks are at the terminal.

The airport provides basic services for regional travel: several cafes and grab‑and‑go food outlets, vending machines, free Wi‑Fi (time‑limited), and charging points in gate areas. There are car rental booths and baggage services landside. Lounges are limited; check individual airline offerings if you need a paid lounge. Accessibility services are available - request assistance in advance.

There are airport‑area hotels with shuttle connections suitable for early departures or late arrivals. Check major hotel chains’ sites for availability and direct shuttle policies.

• Hilton Garden Inn (brand: hilton.com) - known to have a presence near the Spokane airport area and often offers airport shuttles.

Long‑layover tip: many airport hotels offer day‑rooms or short‑stay options; call the hotel directly to confirm availability and shuttle service.
