Flying "direct" to Sun Valley
From Hailey: Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) is ~25 minutes from Sun Valley, ID. Taxis, rental cars, and shuttles are available from Hailey to Sun Valley.
Uber and Lyft are sparse to non-existent in Sun Valley. However, public bus routes are regular and somewhat convenient. If you are not staying directly in town (e.g., Airbnb) or at a hotel with a driver/shuttle, you will need to rent a car.
Enterprise, Budget, Hertz, and Avis operate out of Hailey airport.
We strongly recommend flying into Hailey due to the drive from Boise in potentially snowy conditions. To accommodate travel times, fly in on Thursday, March 19th.
