Wings of Alaska saved my vacation when Delta tried to screw it up! Delta overbooked my flight, and…read moreafter letting my wife and kids on the plane, gave my confirmed seat away. I decided I was going to make an adventure of it though, and chose to meet my family at their cruise stops. Wings of Alaska treated me right. The flight from Juneau to Skagway was around a buck and a quarter each way, and well worth it. Flying over some of the most incredible scenery in the world in a small 10 seater was definitely a highlight. The pilot was friendly and put me in the copilots seat. Plus he agreed to take me over the glaciers instead of the bay. Nice little extra. They took good care of my carryon as well as my son's guitar. Easy to get in and out with none of the hassle of the big boys. Wings of Alaska turned my Alaska experience into quite a trip!

From getting dropped off curbside to dropping off bags at the airline, going through TSA security and finding your gate, it's all a seamless process. I'm so accustomed to giving myself time for all the above that by the time I was finished, I had nearly an hour of wait time at my gate. There is a small gift shop on the main level. I don't recall seeing food or coffee options. They may have had these. I just didn't take notice or remember seeing either options. Airlines staff were friendly and personable. What I enjoy the most about this airport is that it doesn't have the drama and over abundance of people that other major airports do. Also, downtown is about a 15-20 minute drive from the airport. Uber, Lyft and taxi services are available to get you to your destination. Again, since Juneau is such a smaller airport, getting in and out is very seamless. Something to keep in mind is that you will most likely have a layover in another airport prior to arriving at your destination. I don't see this airport being a hub. As for me, I flew direct to Anchorage then hopped on another flight direct to Denver. Overall, I was impressed. I plan on visiting Juneau again so I'm looking forward to using this airport another time. I may even use it more often after possibly becoming a Juneau/Douglas resident.

I recently flew with Alaska Airlines for the very first time!…read moreAnd what's weird is...I have completed a lot of traveling and exploring around Alaska (all with local/regional/carriers on propeller planes), yet finally, I had the opportunity to fly ALK. I took their once a day afternoon flight from here in Juneau (JNU) to Gustavus/Glacier Bay (GST). When I looked up fares online...it was pretty basic... It was the same flights, same times, same prices. $108.50 each way = $217 in total. JNU 4:03pm --- GST 4:40pm GST 5:40pm --- JNU 6:12pm With the final total of $217, I got to choose my own seat for both routes without having to pay any extras. I was able to simply pick my seat at the end of the online booking process. Again, included in the $217, I was able to bring a carryon bag and place it in the overhead compartment of the Boeing 737 Jet. No fee for this. And then, I placed my bookbag underneath the seat. I don't know if Alaska Air charges for checking in luggage? I didn't have a large suitcase, so I don't really know. I also liked how simple the booking process was on Alaska Air's website. I downloaded the Alaska Air App and appreciated how I was able to check-in for my flight 24 hours in advance without having to create a username and passcode like I've been forced to with other airlines. In the end...I'm not from Alaska, and they don't really cater to routes where I'm from in South Florida...so it was nice to be able to just check-in as a guest without any hassles. Stepping back just a moment... From Juneau Airport, it's pretty much all Alaska Airline routes. Obviously, Alaska would dominate the capitol city here in Juneau. I noticed inside the airport there was a small check-in counter for Delta, though I didn't see any departures or arrivals for them on the overhead board. It was all Alaska Air. I did observe 2 small seaplane carriers with passengers waiting in front of their ticket counters. I didn't catch the names though. While waiting at Gate #2 passing through security...I saw Alaska Air had all 6 of the Juneau Airport departure gates. There's a small seating area with enough spots to accommodate people. Towards the left hand side was a small food cafe. Another little extra...whenever I fly an airline for the first time, (although they rarely carry them anymore), I always ask for those little souvenir "wings" that they sometimes or at least used to carry around. Lol, I have a pair of wings from almost every airline. I asked the gate agents and flight attendants on both routes if they had a pair to spare and unfortunately they didn't. But...everyone I inquired with was very considerate, and smiled to me knowing those wings are cool little keepsakes and...they all happily searched for extras. So, no problem, it wasn't meant to be, but I appreciated their efforts. Finally, I had no issues with either of my flights. Granted...this Juneau to Gustavus route was literally...20 minutes flying time in each direction...so what could really have gone so badly, lol? In the end, I was happy for Alaska Airlines to be part of my National Parks journey to Glacier Bay, my 62nd NP overall. I am grateful I finally got to experience them after all these years.

I wouldn't take this airline on a regular basis, but since this is the only option that gets me out of Alaska guess I have to. Several times, they have made unplanned stops that aren't listed on the itinerary but the ones you find out about as you're boarding the plane. Thanks for making me an hour late to Seattle, even if I was only spending the night there. And there's really no way to change your flight reservation once it's been made without being too costly, unless you fake your own death... good luck with that. Southwest, please expand your service soon to Alaska!

Only other way to get there is a 7 hour ferry ride or to fly to anchorage and drive 15 hours (through Canada). My flight was as at 8:30am, which was a rookie error on my end. These little planes do not fly in fog and due to poor visibility I sat in the airport until 3pm where they gave up and told me to come back tomorrow and try again! Booked the same flight for the next day and came back and early in the morning it was foggy but the fog burned off by 10am and we made it. Do t bother scheduling a flight BEFORE 10am! No need to go through security/TSA. They call your name and you walk right out on the runway. Plane had 4 seats (half the plane is used for cargo). Flight was AMAZING and well worth the wait! We flew Pretty low to the ground with amazing views of this beautiful area. Views of the water and mountains. Makes you thankful to be alive!

One of the worst shipping experiences I have ever had…read more On December 17th I finally picked up a crated package in Juneau that was scheduled to arrive 11 days prior. It would have taken longer, but I was told the package--due to the holiday season--was subject to be bumped for "weeks" if not upgraded to priority. I found this odd and unprofessional--the fact that in order to receive the package I had already paid to ship, I would now need to pay a premium to see it anytime in the near future. And although, the service member I spoke to on the phone left a bad taste in my mouth due to their "take it or leave it" demeanor, I begrudgingly took it. Once the package arrived, I went to pick it up. The crate was loaded into my truck via forklift, and it was shortly after unloading that I noticed the crate and contents inside had been damaged by the/a forklift. When I went into the Alaska Air Cargo office to deal with the issue, I was told (once again in this "I could care less" attitude) that the damage was noticed when they had unloaded it from the airplane. I'm not sure why they did not mention this to me before loading the package into my vehicle, but nevertheless they said the damage MUST have occurred in Anchorage and to now sit quietly and fill out a small mountain of paperwork for my trouble. Which I did. "How long will it take to hear back on this claim?" I asked. "I don't know, a few weeks or months maybe" I was told. I followed up with emails every few weeks. Sometimes I would hear back and would be told that they were "working" on it. Sometimes I would hear nothing back. Finally, I called and got ahold of someone in March who told me that there was nothing they could do, and that I needed to talk to the person who shipped the package and have them open a new claim. Awesome. I did that very thing, but at this point, being months after the incident, was told the statute of limitations had run out and it was case closed. So here I am. With a formerly priceless 19th century dresser, shipped all the way from Japan, only to have it destroyed by a (presumably stoned) forklift driver--and not even an apology from Alaska Air Cargo. So, I guess the point of this long winded story is to say that this company is the devil and I would rather hand carry my shipments on foot, over the glacier, than give them another penny.

Lunch at a lodge, fresh caught and smoked salmon, hiking a bit of that barely touched land. It's a bit of a walk to the Wings Airways check in and shop- not too bad, but longer thanks to construction. Check in was easy and they can hold bags for you to pick up when you return! Great since we had about 45 minutes to explore before boarding. We got Orange/Orcas group- they have a fleet and each plane seats about 10. I'm mad at myself for not paying attention to who our pilot was- June 22- 9:30am- he was excellent! Has been flying for 13 years, very smooth take off and landing! I knew that someone gets to ride up front with the pilot and my hand shot up so fast when the question was being asked! Birthday girl- me me, pick me. lol- yes, I got front seat- right next to the pilot! Prepare to be stunned. Simply, unequivocally, utterly in awe. I lost count of how many times I said wow. Five glaciers, plus tons of smaller glaciers, jagged mountain peaks and smoothed over mountains, the waterfalls!!! The rivers!!! I felt like my entire being couldn't comprehend the enormity of what I was seeing. Alaska made me feel so small in its vastness. Reminded me how little I've seen or done. Landing at the lodge, it is directly across from Hole in the Wall Glacier. The grounds are glorious- it was buggy outside- and the gracious hosts have bug spray on a barrel head right outside the front door. Our feast was incredible- smoked salmon, caught fresh right downstream from the lodge. A family owed property, they bring in 9 additional hands to work the summer and all stay on the property- self sustained. The food- my goodness. First, I have never been a fan of salmon- but there was no way I was eating chicken at an Alaskan Lodge! The salmon was delicious- cooked perfectly. Everything was delicious- the herbed biscuit- perfection. I tried the spruce tips oil in my iced tea and promptly bought a bottle to take home! And just when you are done your meal and enjoying the atmosphere, they bring out gingersnap cookies- freshly baked. Ginger is great for your stomach, even though I was stuffed, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire cookie. Next up, our naturalist took us on a short hike and talked about the flora and fauna, about the glacier, the local plants that they use daily. I broke from the group to check out the trickle of a waterfalls at the back of the property- enjoyed the quietness of the forest & was grateful for my hoodie to keep the mosquitos at bay. Return flight was just as spectacular. Alaska stole a piece of my heart for sure. Thank you to every staff member between the Wings and the Lodge! You were all fabulous!

Wild Coast made the whole experience feel both thrilling and respectful to the wildlife. Wild Coast Excursions is the best opportunity to see bears in Juneau and probably Alaska! I cannot wait to go again and check out Pack Creek next time -- already dreaming of it! Don't miss this if you're in Juneau -- it's pure magic.
