    My girlfriend and I flew Ravn back in February for our trip from Anchorage to Homer. Our overall experience with the airline was fantastic. The ticket counter staff were friendly and helpful. The boarding process was conducted smoothly and with ease. We grabbed our seats and settled in for a brief 40 minute flight. Thanks to a suggestion from the staff, we sat on the left side of the plane in hopes of capturing the best possible views. The plane took off and sure enough -- miles and miles of beautiful wintry Alaska. The flight attendant was kind, joyful, and professional. Per usual Ravn flights, she offered us a complimentary cookie, but because it was Valentines Day, it was in the shape of a heart! Ah, the little things. We enjoyed a local beer and before we knew it, we reached our destination. Thank you to the Ravn team, and this flight attendant in particular, for making our trip special.

    I have very limited experience with Ravn (pronounced "raven") Alaska. I rode it Sunday, 12/17/2017 as part of my tour package with the Alaska Railroad Corporation. The tour I was on consisted of me riding a train from Anchorage to Fairbanks the day before and then returning to Anchorage via Ravn Alaska flight. I'd never even heard of Ravn before paying for my Alaska Railroad train ride. I have no idea how much the flight cost because it was part of the tour package, so I'm just going to rate my experience in regards to their customer service. Ravn Alaska is a regional airline that's very important to the state because it not only flies to established cities like, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome, etc. but also to rural, remote settlements; some of which are only accessible by either boat or plane. Keep in mind Alaska is a state that covers a land mass that's more than twice the size of Texas yet has a population of fewer than 750,000 people. If New York City had Alaska's population density (or lack thereof) there would only be about 16 residents in Manhattan. That certainly puts things in perspective. I caught my flight at Fairbanks International Airport. One thing that's very different about Ravn is you don't have to go through TSA to ride their planes. I just walked up to the counter, gave them my luggage, explained that I was riding as part of the Alaska Railroad tour deal, showed my ID, and that was it. I just sat in the lobby and waited until it was time to board the plane. It was delayed less than an hour but at least it wasn't canceled like one of their planes going to another location was. When it's time to board, you go outside and walk up the steps to get on the plane. Ravn Alaska planes are much smaller than the ones for more popular commercial airlines. The plane I rode had less than 40 seats and was filled near capacity. They also have some planes that seat less than 10 people. The seating is open seating so you can sit wherever you like. The aircraft looks older on the inside but has comfortable maroon seats. We were greeted by the only flight attendant on board, a slim white woman with short brown hair who appeared to be in either her late 30s or early 40s. She wasn't bad looking but seemed to be a little fatigued and was seated facing the passengers. She was polite and went beyond her normal duties to assist everyone. For example, a woman sitting next to me proclaimed, "I'm going to be sick," and then proceeded to barf into a plastic bag. She did this twice and each time handed the bags to the poor attendant to dispose of. You could tell the attendant was grossed out but she did her job without complaint. After waiting a few more minutes for the plane to de-ice, we were on our way. The food on board was a big cookie in plastic wrapping (free of charge). That was okay because it only takes about an hour to fly from Fairbanks to Anchorage. The flight itself was smooth and we didn't have the turbulence you'd expect from small aircraft. Upon landing, our luggage was available within a few minutes at their baggage pickup area. I know that Ravn Alaska has been getting low ratings but just based upon my brief experience with them I'll give them a four.

    Julia on flight 7H 6, from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor, is a true credit to flight attendants . Great at her job, super friendly and a perfect compliment if an issue arises. Well done Julia!

    I was visiting a friend in Alaska and was flying alone, and I'm a nervous flyer in general but the great staff at Ravn Alaska put me right at ease. The boarding process was easy and we left and arrived right on time. Though a short flight, the staff made sure to put everyone at ease and made sure we were all comfortable. On top of the fantastic views on our flight, the flight attendant was personable and professional and the cookies were just the cherry on top to a great flight! I will definitely recommend Ravn Alaska to my family and friends who are flying in Alaska in the future.

    Delta: please keep copying Alaska Airlines…read more On a scale of United to 10, Delta gets a 5.5. Delta is OK. It's usually a bit cheaper than Alaska Airlines. It's not quite as good though. I'm frugal grandpa and even I think it's worth paying a little extra to fly on Alaska Airlines. Why? Delta has craft beer and food like Alaska, except they're always out of everything good. No fancy brews for you, Bud/Miller/Coors or water! The seats are cramped compared to Alaska. The free media player in every seat is nice, but the video constantly skips every 20-30 seconds. I found myself just waiting for the next skip to happen, rather than being engaged in the content. Gogo inflight WiFi is worse than Chinese water torture (OK, this is a problem on all flights, I admit) The flight attendants are a bit absent-minded and/or loopy. The best part about Delta is that you can use your Alaska Airlines' frequent flier mileage number INSTEAD of Delta's, which you should do.

    Alaska, I love you and in the case of Delta I have to say the same…read more.. Its all good here. Great gate agents, now in B concourse and generally always on time. I get a kick out of the mass of humanity that accumulates in preparation for red-eye flights in and out of ANC. Most of the year, Delta's flights out of ANC depart around 1am immediately following a flight arrival...the terminals are like half way houses for travelers, tourists and other wandering sorts who find themselves out of their hotel or home at a time when they are normally expecting to be asleep. Delta does a good job of keeping the chaos to a minimum, getting the planes loaded and in and out on time. However, there was that one time that a complete drunk made it on board and passed out in an emergency exit row...that was almost comical to watch the flight crew coerse him out of his seat so that a competant individual could man the emergency exit in the event of an emergency. I wanted to beat the idiot sensless but he was already there so why waste the energy, right? These are Delta jets here too so no small planes and generally great on-board service. The flight attendants keep liquored up in the front and sufficiently satisfied in the back to make it through the typically 5 hour flight from ANC to the lower 48. I have flown other airlines in and out of Alaska and find that Delta gives me the best service, best opportunity to upgrade and reliable departures. Oh yah, during the peak travel season they throw in some extra day time departures too...but be prepared to pay for the atypical travel times to Alaska.

    Trivia: I think you saw this one coming. What's the mascot for UAA and what name does it go by?…read more Lots of great things about this place: 1. Volleyball matches. The volleyball team is really good. They are really fun to watch. 2. Basketball games. There are both Men's and Women's teams. Both are so fun to watch. The arena is huge. I've only been to one event where they open the top deck so every seat is great. I'm not sure that it's necessarily open seating, but the massive arena allows a person some options for choice. 3. Sponsored events. Concerts and state tournaments for high schools and so forth. During all the UAA sporting events, the concessions are ran by volunteer groups who, I believe, are given some percentage of the profit. I know they at least get tips. The concessions are the one just okay part. The chicken tenders and fries are meh at best. The chicken often hard and tough, the fries sort of cold. The only other food is hotdogs and snacks like popcorn and candy bars. Beverages are pretty standard soda and water. Nothing unique in this area. There is a beer and wine booth inside the arena at the far corner. There are usually 7-10 options here. Beer, wine, and seltzers. A person is required to sit in the ropped off area while consuming alcoholic beverages. I'm not sure if this is different during a concert. The Women's basketball team holds a yearly tournament before Thanksgiving. Something to keep an eye out for!

It reminded me of the Cabbage Patch Dolls sales that resulted in riots in the 80s. RIDICULOUS

    Great service between Homer and Anchorage. They are on top of things in the customer service arena…read moreas well...hope they are able to stick around.

    Reboot is for terminal/hangar in Bristol bay in with Bristol Adventures…read more Don't get me wrong--I had an absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable experience at Katmai National Park and Brooks Falls. This was a dream trip that I had saved for, and it was expensive. Getting there was mostly smooth. The connecting flights with Katmai Air were excellent, and their waiting area was clean, comfortable, and had restrooms. The park itself was everything I had hoped for and more. The scenery, bears, and salmon made it a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. The problem was the trip home. After our return flight from Katmai, we were taken to Aleutian Air's hangar and left waiting for well over an hour. Everyone was tired, hungry, and likely a little cold after a full day outdoors. Instead of a comfortable terminal, we waited in what was essentially a basic hangar with a few chairs. There were no restrooms, no food or drinks available, and not even a vending machine. The building itself was dirty, with windows coated in years of dust and dead flies and spit stains on the walls. I fed bad that terminal employees don't have access to bathrooms either! For context, I've lived in Alaska for over 30 years, including in Bush Alaska, and have traveled extensively on bush flights. I understand that rural Alaska isn't luxurious, and I don't expect it to be. But in all my years of traveling throughout the state, I've never experienced a terminal or waiting area as poor as Aleutian Air's facility in Bristol Bay. When guests are paying around $1,500 or more for a premium, once-in-a-lifetime adventure, providing a clean waiting area with restrooms and access to basic food and drinks shouldn't be too much to ask. Katmai was worth every penny. The way the trip ended was not. I hope Bristol Adventures works with its transportation partner to improve the final experience because customers deserve to leave with the same sense of awe they felt in the park.

    I flew Lake and Penn Air this past weekend from Anchorage (Merrill Field, the local/regional…read morecarrier airport, not Ted Stevens) to Port Alsworth, Alaska to spend the weekend at Lake Clark National Park. I paid $530 roundtrip for my flight, which is pretty standard for catching an Alaskan Bush Plane out to all the remote national parks that cannot be reached by vehicle. For finding the Lake and Penn Air Terminal, I simply plugged Merrill Field into Google Maps and had no issues finding them. I parked in an open spot right beside the aircraft building. This was free of charge and all that Lake and Penn Air asked of me was to leave my car keys with them in case they had to move my vehicle for any reasons. Departing Anchorage for an 8am flight, I was told to show up at the airport by 7am. Upon arriving, I simply check in at the counter and then walked outside to a hangar-like building where they weighed my luggage bags. I was allowed to have up to 50 pounds of weight without being charged an extra fee. That was no problem. I was just venturing around Lake Clark for a few days and didn't need much luggage with me. I departed right on time at 8am. As per my usual routine, I asked one of the employees to take a photo of myself standing in front of the propeller plane, as I was venturing out to my 60th National Park! Of course, the girl obliged and took a few picks before I boarded. The Bush Plane departing to Port Alsworth had 4 rows and 8 passengers on board including myself. There was one unoccupied seat across from me in the 4th row which actually worked out well as I was able to change seats during the flight because the views flying to Port Alsworth were beautiful! Amazingly beautiful, lol! So yes, I highly recommend getting your camera and phone out ready to take pictures and videos while flying. Most of the wondrous scenery came as we were away from Anchorage and closer towards Port Alsworth. Btw, the flight was roughly about 1 hour long. Also great about Lake and Penn Air is that when I arrived at 9am in Port Alsworth, my cabin that I had reserved wasn't available until 3pm so they happily stored my belongings in their office/garage until I was finished exploring for the day and ready to be driven to my cabin by my Air B&B host. For my return flight, it was scheduled at 5pm in the late afternoon. Once again Lake and Penn Air told me they had no issues storing my luggage until departure time because I had to check out of my cabin by 11am. So that was great of them. Now...since it was so rainy and there were tough conditions throughout my Lake Clark visit, the day prior I stopped by Lake and Penn Air's office and asked them if they had an earlier flight leaving the following day for which I could change departures. They did have a 7am flight back to Anchorage and since there was space onboard the aircraft, they simply switched me without even clicking a button! Finally, for my 7am departure back to Anchorage, I had Lyle (who I believe is the owner of Lake and Penn Air) as my pilot. And...I really appreciated Lyle! here's why.... It was 7am in the morning and it was pouring rain! I was nervous to fly, lol, actually frightened. But Lyle told me not to worry I'm in good hands. Although the flight back to Anchorage was pretty bumpy and we flew through clouds the entire way, I trusted Lyle (obviously) with my life, lol, and yep we landed safely back at Merrill Field. I tell ya...I'll never understand how these pilots fly in such tough weather, but they can do it, and Lyle was a professional and I couldn't have asked for more! I'm happy to be writing this review about Lake and Penn Air. I know there is also Lake Clark Air that flies out to Port Alsworth...and people do have choices, but I am here to recommend that Lake and Penn Air are 5 stars worthy fantastic! Thank you, Lake and Penn Air, for being a memorable part of my national park journey experience.

As I've written in my other reviews, I spent months and months and months planning a 5-week trip around Alaska to visit the eight National Parks in the nation's largest state. Without Lake and Pen Air, my Dad and I would not have met our goal of visiting all the parks. We were able to fly with Lake and Pen Air from Anchorage to Port Alsworth to visit Lake Clark National Park in July of 2019. The check in process in Anchorage was very easy and our overweight luggage was able to accommodated. Our flight was amazing as we flew over scenic, snowy mountains, glaciers, lakes, and even a volcano. Dave Wilder, Founder of LPA, was our pilot! We even made another stop along the way which was like an added bonus for me. The ride was smooth and I had complete faith and trust in Dave. My Dad and I also flew with LPA to go from Port Alsworth to King Salmon to visit Katmai National Park and Preserve. After extensive research, chartering a flight with Lake and Pen was actually the cheapest and most convenient option. As my Dad joked, the flights on our trip kept getting smaller and smaller and this time around it was my Dad, myself, and our LPA pilot Barry. We flew over Lake Iliamna, enjoyed the views, and before we knew it we were landing safe and sound in King Salmon. Barry helped us figure out where to go to find the Katmailand Shuttle and we were well on our way. I can't thank Lake and Pen Air enough for helping to make my dreams come true. Every correspondence I had with them whether it was via email, phone, or in-person was professional, prompt, and just delightful! The prices were definitely fair, the service was great, and the adventure was unforgettable. Thank you!
