Transportation
To reach the camp, you must first fly to Anchorage (ANC). Many airlines fly
to Anchorage, direct from major cites in the United States and many countries.
You can find a list of airlines serving Anchorage here
http://www.dot.state.ak.us/anc/travelerInfo/airlineInfo.shtml.
From Anchorage, you fly to Dillingham (DLG).
Two airlines fly to Dillingham, Alaska Airlines
www.alaskaair.com and Penair
www.penair.com. Penair is the more frequent
carrier and is especially convenient if you spend some time in Anchorage, because there is no
security check required for this regional airline. There is only one Alaska Air
arrival and departure each day to Dillingham while there are 3 or 4 Penair
flights. In any case, you can usually check your bags all the way through from
your home airport to Dillingham. The following table will help your plan your
flights, but these could change so please check their websites for their current
schedules. Bear in mind that Alaska Air's schedule is flexible, so plan extra time between your connections at Anchorage.
