As of June 2020, the airline only operates to domestic destinations within the state of Alaska in the US. These destinations include Angoon, Elfin Cove, Excursion Inlet, Gustavus, Haines, Kake, Whitehorse and more. Whitehorse is only a seasonal destination for the airline.
No free carry-on baggage is allowed on board the aircraft.
All baggage must not weigh more than 50lbs (23kg). Any oversized baggage may not fit the aircraft and passengers must notify the airline in advance.
Any baggage weighing more than 50lbs will be charged an excess baggage fee. If you wish to buy excess baggage, please contact our customer service team.
Online check-in is not available for passengers. All passengers must check in at the airport.
All passengers must check in one hour before the scheduled flight departure time. Passengers who fail to check in on time may be charged by the airline and will miss their flight.
When passengers arrive at the airport, please follow the signs for the designated check-in area for the airline. Valid photo identification is required for check-in to verify travellers' identification.
The airline reserves the right to deny boarding for any passenger that is late for check-in or boarding.
Air Excursions makes air travel hassle-free. Its planes can only carry up to eight passengers per flight, so there are no long queues to check-in or waiting around at security. Passengers can show-up for their flight close to boarding time and not worry about missing their flight.
The plane itself is fitted with large and comfortable padded seats, with bigger seat width and pitch than you'd expect from a traditional airline in Economy Class. The airline uses the same planes for both its scheduled and charter flights, so you can expect a private business jet styled cabin whenever you fly on the carrier. Each seat is placed independently within the cabin, so passengers are seated next to both the aisle and window.
As flight times are short, the airline doesn't have any in-flight entertainment, WIFI or meal services. Although, water and a snack may be provided on select flights. And, passengers are welcome to bring their own food and drink on board.
This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
