I…read morethink a lot of people forget, these planes are Dash 8's, they aren't your normal commercial airline with all the bells and whistles. Which means, under some weather conditions they won't be able to fly or have delays until the weather clears up. The weather where you're waiting to board could be significantly different from where the flight is coming in from. I would much rather have them cancel a flight than to fly passengers in conditions they aren't comfortable with. Fog for an example - they don't have the technology like the commercial airlines to land safely with an auto pilot setting. Flying Ravn also means not having to deal with TSA, which is always a plus! Cuts off so much time! So you can literally just show up 30 mins prior to your flight. They also serve fresh cookies in flight - super delicious. They have various flavors. The white chocolate is probably my fave. The flight attendants & front counter folks are friendly as well! Can't wait for them to start their Northern Pacific flights, which will include Japan as a destination!! And PS - you can get Alaska Airline miles with each flight now as well!

Usually, I cannot make out what is being said over the PA system on the plane. But this time I…read moreheard that my bags would be on carousel #4. Most all airports have excellent signage so that even the most oblivious can find their way. As my family has elevated my rank to, "Captain Oblivious" I especially appreciate the ease with which I can navigate. Usually finding the right baggage carousel is a toss up as most are split left and right from the entrance/escalator. 50/50 chance of getting it right unless they are labeled with the airline. Since I knew where I was going, I took my time and snapped a few pics. As I've said in previous reviews, this airport is a walk-through art show. Sacramento has a bit of that here and there, the luggage display, that big red rabbit, etc. I took a video of the lightening cloud art in the hallway to the rental cars. Enjoy!

I flew into Alaska for the first time recently. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is the…read moremain airport in Alaska and is also a stopover point for people going to Europe and Asia. It is a major cargo hub and has a seaplane base adjacent to it. The airport itself isn't very large compared to most airports that I have been to. But it has a nice cozy vibe to it. Ted Stevens has two terminals and around 30 gates. When I arrived, I noticed several taxidermy mounts of animals all around the airport. There was also a seaplane on display. It made me feel like I was in the wild. It was a nice way to welcome me to the state of Alaska and got me excited for some of the outdoor activities that we had planned for the week. I did a lot of fishing while I was here and even flew on a small plane over some of the glaciers. The fish count was higher than usual when I was here. Most people were checking in 50 pound boxes of fish when I departed. I checked in a box myself. Overall, getting in and out of this airport went smoothly for me and my crew. This airport is named after Ted Stevens. He was senator of Alaska from 1968 to 2009.

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.

Recently I flew round trip from Anchorage, AK, to Los Angeles, with layovers in Seattle. My…read moreexperiences at the boarding gates and aboard the flights were good. However, Delta's scheduling practices and timing on the ground for arriving flights need more work. Yes, there are more air travelers in 2019, but that should not be the reason for a 35 minute delay to get to a taxi way for a flight that just landed. My inbound flight had last minute arriving gate changes that caused anxiety for flyers that had connecting flight layovers of under 60 minutes. The flight crew could do little, but meekly offered that "all flights are delayed, so you may still make your connecting flight." At my final LAX destination we had a 45 minute ground delay; we docked at a changed gate, it was 35 minutes before the plane could leave for the correct terminal.

Disorganized. Unsafe…read more Made people stand in line for entrance for hours, prohibited outside food and drink, but then offered nothing for sale inside for graduates or attendants. This meant that everyone felt sick, dehydrated and cranky on one of the most important days if their lives. Seating was so incredibly disorganized it was like bulls leaving the gate, I'm surprised no one got trampled after waiting in lines for hours. It reminded me of the Cabbage Patch Dolls sales that resulted in riots in the 80s. RIDICULOUS

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!

Missed our Alaska Airlines flight from Anchorage due to Sportsmans indifference. Weather was excellent and there were no mechanical issues. The lodge was only 30 minutes flight time from Anchorage.

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!
