I flew Horizon Air recently and learned they don’t have their own lounges or a true “priority boarding” system like the bigger carriers. When my plans changed last minute, I called 877-764-3622, and honestly, that saved me a lot of stress—they rebooked me instantly without me sitting on hold forever. Boarding was straightforward: families and people needing extra time went first, then everyone else. It felt more casual than the bigger airlines, which I actually liked because it moved quickly. If lounge perks or elite-style boarding are a must, you might be better off flying Alaska (since they’re partners), but for quick regional trips, Horizon keeps it simple.
