Boise Air Trml/Gowen Field to Tulsa International BOI → TUL
1,032 nautical miles (1,188 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 108°, about 095° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13E). At 120 knots that is 6 h 29 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 39-knot tailwind), arriving about 3:32 pm CDT (20:32 UTC). Right now BOI is VFR, wind from the northwest (310°) at 4 knots; TUL is VFR, wind from the south (180°) at 13 knots. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 2 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 08:00–15:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed
The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 8 forecast points nearest it (BOI, PIH, RKS, DEN, GLD, GCK, ICT, TUL). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 12:00 UTC for use 08:00 to 15:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
