What, and fly into Pullman from Seattle for the game?

And drive in for the game? Take another look at the map, there.

I would think that would be your best bet.

Looks like a little less than $500 (~450) to Spokane, a little more than $500(~560) to Pullman....either way, right now it's a little pricey

Take a look at the Boise prices. Boise is not a far drive -- for the West that is.

You're right....but a 6 hour drive after five hours on two planes? Then you have to turn around and do it again...hungover!

I just threw it out there. May be the only chance in your lifetime to see such pretty country. The Cascade Mtns. are breathtaking.

I thought Moscow, ID was your best bet to fly into...I may be way off though.

The Moscow, ID airport is actually the Pullman, WA airport...it's in (well, just outside) Pullman, within Washington State.

If you want to see the Cascades, I would fly into Seattle, since the Cascades are in the western half of Washington. They are quite breathtaking though--as are the Olympics.

The drive in from Boise is pretty flat most of the way (unless you go way out of your way,) but you would go through the Hell's Canyon area, which is definitely worth spending a little time in.

I've flown into Pullman before. Long time ago.

I think now Horizon is flying the 70 passenger q400 turboprop in there. Very cool comfortable plane that flies almost as fast a regional jet and is much much more comfortable.

No big deal and a quick connection at Seatac.
