I really like BLI and wish it had more nonstop flights. BLI-SEA is a really cool flight on a sunny day as the flight goes right along Puget Sound, sometimes as low as 11,000-12,000 feet.

The new terminal at BLI is very nice; the old one left a lot to be desired, but was extremely clean and functional. The new terminal is large, bright, and still extremely clean.

I've flown G4 before and if one can manage the additional fees, it can be a decent deal. Nothing beat the $99 each way last minute BLI-LAS tickets on AS with complimentary MVP upgrades though.

If I was flying to HNL or OGG, I would choose BLI over SEA as the experience is a lot less stressful.

Fun fact: In the old terminal, one would hear: "Final Boarding for the Horizon Air flight to Seattle. Now would be a good time to go through security."

You save something like $13 each way on G4s ticket if you purchase them with a debit card during the 2 hours each day that the BLI ticket counter is selling tickets.
