Pullman-Moscow Regional (PUW) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Pullman-Moscow Regional (PUW) Airport

Flights into the Palouse touch down at a terminal that opened in 2024, and the ride that follows should match that standard. Our Pullman-Moscow Regional (PUW) Airport Limo Service puts a professional chauffeur at the curb of the new building for every Horizon Air arrival from Seattle or Boise, then carries you to Washington State University, downtown Pullman, Colfax, Spokane, or any address across the state. As part of our wider Washington airport limo service, Union Limousine covers PUW with flat pricing, licensed drivers, and vehicles sized for one executive or a full athletic roster.

Travelers choose PUW because it sits five minutes from both Pullman and Moscow, Idaho, and because the single security checkpoint moves quickly. We build on that advantage with real time flight tracking, so a delayed QX 2364 arriving near midnight still finds a driver holding a name sign at baggage claim.

Chauffeured Rides Between PUW and Every Corner of Washington

Whitman County roads wind through wheat country, and winter fog can slow the drive from the airport to Interstate 90 in Spokane. A chauffeur who drives the Palouse every week knows the pace of State Route 27, the timing of Pullman Transit buses on Grand Avenue, and the game day closures on Stadium Way. We assign drivers with that local knowledge to every PUW booking.

Why Travelers Choose Our PUW Limo Service?

• Flight monitoring for every Horizon Air arrival and departure, with pickup times adjusted automatically
• Meet and greet inside the new terminal at baggage claim, or curbside pickup at the arrivals lane
• Flat rate quotes for Pullman, Moscow, Lewiston, Colfax, Spokane, Walla Walla, and the Tri Cities
• Child seats, luggage trailers, and wheelchair accessible vehicles on request
• Licensed, insured, background checked chauffeurs in professional attire
• Round the clock dispatch for the 6:03 AM Seattle departure and the 11:56 PM arrival alike

Union Limousine has delivered chauffeured limo service since 1997, and that experience shows in the details: cold water in the cabin, phone chargers at every seat, and drivers who load bags without being asked. A ride that begins at the Schweitzer Field terminal should feel settled from the first step into the car.

Who We Drive on the Palouse?

Our PUW clients include visiting faculty arriving for Washington State University symposiums, recruiters heading to Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, families attending graduation at Beasley Coliseum, and alumni returning for Cougar football at Gesa Field. We also handle group moves for conference attendees staying in Moscow, wedding parties bound for Palouse venues, and corporate teams who need a quiet cabin for calls on the way to Spokane.

Pullman Moscow Regional Airport Guide

Pullman Moscow Regional Airport, code PUW, sits at 3625 NE Airport Dr, Pullman, WA 99163, about three miles northeast of downtown Pullman on the Pullman Moscow Highway. The airport office answers at +1 509 338 3223, and the official site at flypuw.com posts live arrivals, departures, and parking notices.

History and Regional Importance

The airfield began as a 1932 survey by Pullman reserve officers who needed a proper flying field for the crowd arriving for a Washington State College football game. The city bought 50 acres in 1934, Civilian Conservation Corps crews drilled the first well, and a joint agreement signed by the mayors of Pullman and Moscow on September 5, 1939 created the regional airport that still carries both names. The field was dedicated on May 24, 1940 before 5,000 spectators, trained over 5,000 Army Air Force cadets during the Second World War, and welcomed its first scheduled passenger flights from Empire Air Lines in 1946. Whitman County joined the governing partnership in 1971. The modern era arrived with a $158 million runway realignment completed in 2019, followed by the $92 million terminal at Schweitzer Field that opened on May 22, 2024. Together those projects brought the airport into full compliance with current federal safety standards and positioned it as the primary gateway for two state universities and a growing technology employer base.

Airlines Operating from PUW

Alaska Airlines is the sole scheduled carrier, with all flights operated by its regional partner Horizon Air under the QX code on Embraer 175 jets. A typical weekday sees up to four Seattle rotations and one Boise round trip. The Boise route is supported by the State of Idaho and the University of Idaho to connect Moscow with the state capital.

Domestic Destinations

• Seattle Tacoma International (SEA): multiple daily nonstops, roughly 80 minutes in the air, with onward connections across the Alaska network
• Boise (BOI): daily nonstop, about 55 minutes, serving University of Idaho travel and southern Idaho business

Terminal Information

The 47,000 square foot terminal replaced a 1990 building of under 9,000 square feet. It offers three gates, passenger boarding bridges so nobody walks across the ramp in Palouse weather, two Transportation Security Administration screening lanes, three ticket counters, three rental car counters, indoor baggage claim, and a separate screening area for university athletic charters. Concessions and a sit down restaurant space are located past security. Alaska Airlines recommends arriving 90 minutes before departure, and the airport closes check in 45 minutes before scheduled push back.

Passenger Traffic

PUW set a record of 75,027 boardings in 2022, grew again in 2023 with roughly 150,000 total passengers through the building, and is forecast to reach 155,000 annual boardings by 2034 as added gate capacity allows up to five Seattle flights a day. Peak demand follows the academic calendar: move in weekend in August, Thanksgiving week, winter break, spring break, and May commencement at both universities.

Parking Overview

The terminal lot holds 426 public spaces plus 90 spaces reserved for rental car fleets. Parking costs $10 per day with the first two hours free, which covers most pickups. Drivers pull a ticket to raise the barrier, then pay by card at the exit kiosk or the terminal kiosk beside baggage claim. Travelers leaving a car for a two week trip should budget $140 before a Seattle connection even begins, which is one reason a round trip chauffeur booking often costs less overall.

Pickup and Drop Off Guidance

Departing passengers are dropped at the main entrance on the terminal loop road, where our chauffeur unloads luggage directly to the ticket counters. Arriving passengers walk from the gate to indoor baggage claim, and your driver meets you there with a sign. If you prefer curbside pickup, we stage in the short term lot during the free window and pull forward the moment your bags appear. Our PUW airport car service uses the same procedure for sedan and SUV bookings when a stretch vehicle is not required.

Ground Transportation Options

Beyond chauffeured cars, the airport is served by Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Hertz counters, local taxi companies, rideshare apps with limited driver supply in the evenings, and hotel courtesy shuttles. Pullman Transit runs a dedicated airport bus for $1 that leaves downtown 140 minutes before each departure and departs the terminal 30 minutes after each arrival, with no service on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Day.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Cell signal is strong at the terminal but drops on rural stretches toward Colfax, so share your pickup details before boarding in Seattle
• Late night Seattle arrivals land close to midnight; confirm your ride in advance because taxi and rideshare availability thins after 10 PM
• Winter visitors should allow extra time on US Route 195 and State Route 270, where fog and black ice are common from November to February
• Football Saturdays close Stadium Way and parts of campus, so a chauffeur who knows the detours saves real time
• Game day visitors can check WSU Transportation Services for lot closures, while Moscow bound guests can find campus maps through the University of Idaho site

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Beats Taxis and Rideshare at PUW?

A small regional airport means a small pool of on demand drivers. Rideshare requests at PUW frequently show no cars available after the last evening flight, and taxi queues disappear once the handful of waiting cabs leave. A prebooked chauffeur is contracted to your flight number, tracks delays, and is already parked when the aircraft taxis in. You know the price before departure, the vehicle fits your group and bags, and the driver can continue 75 miles to Spokane or 30 miles to Lewiston without renegotiating a fare.

Service Area Across Washington

Our Washington limo service reaches PUW from every direction. We cover Pullman, Colfax, Palouse, Garfield, Rosalia, Tekoa, and Uniontown in Whitman County, cross into Moscow and Latah County, and run longer transfers to Spokane, Cheney, Clarkston, Walla Walla, Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco. Travelers who need an alternate airport can pair a PUW pickup with our Spokane International (GEG) Airport limo service when schedules shift. Union Limousine also provides hourly chauffeur service in Washington for campus visits, Palouse Falls excursions, and multi stop business days.
