Alaska Airlines Best Connections to Waterfall: Promech Air is Waterfall’s chartered floatplane company. The Promech flight to Waterfall Resort departs at 12:30 pm from the Ketchikan airport and returns from Waterfall to the Ketchikan Airport or town side by 2:30 pm. Please organize your flights from your hometown to Ketchikan, as well as the return flight from Ketchikan to your hometown around these chartered Promech floatplane times.

The best direct connection from Seattle to Ketchikan is Alaska Airlines Flight #179 generally arriving Ketchikan Airport at 11:30 a.m. This flight transfers perfectly with our 12:30 p.m. Float Plane flight to Waterfall Resort. It is a scenic 40-minute flight by a 5 or 10 passenger Float Plane to the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island. You will travel over the famed Inside Passage as well as over scenic Bays, Islands and Rain Forests.

On Departure Day, the best direct connection from Ketchikan to Seattle is Alaska Airlines Flight #174 generally departing Ketchikan by 4:00 p.m. and arriving in Seattle around 6:30 p.m.

Checked Airline Luggage: Airlines are attempting to standardize their checked luggage services. Currently, Alaska Airlines will allow one (up to 50 lb.) checked luggage and allow on board the aircraft one small hand-carry bag and one small backpack or briefcase / purse size bag. Additional bags will be subject to a per bag fee charge. Possible hint: try to pack your clothes in an acceptable size hand-carry bag thus possibly eliminating any excess bag charges when you check in with your box of fish on your return flight home. Please note that neither Waterfall Resort nor Promech Air charges guests for excess bags.

What to Pack for your Waterfall Adventure: Based upon a 3 or 4 night trip. The first rule is to bring casual clothes and don’t over pack. Here are a few suggestions: medium weight water resistant jacket, hooded sweatshirt, 3 pairs of jeans, t-shirts and shirts, comfortable shoes (no leather soles) like basketball or outdoor style, baseball style hat, fishing style gloves. Medication should be filled and in your hand-carry bag, including medication for motion sickness. Maybe an extra pair of prescription glasses (or sunglasses)? Don’t forget your camera and extra batteries.

Waterfall Identification Luggage Tags / Yellow and Green: Within 3 weeks of your scheduled departure to Waterfall, by mail, you will receive these ID luggage tags. These are important in aiding our Ketchikan Airport and Resort luggage handlers to process your personal luggage and hand-carry items efficiently. Yellow is only for your airline-checked luggage. Green is only for your hand-carry bags.

Spending a Night or Two in Ketchikan: Please call Nola McCamy, (800-544-5125), to help you reserve accommodations at: Cape Fox Lodge, Best Western Landing, Gilmore Hotel, Narrows Inn, New York Hotel / Inn at Creek Street or Super 8 Motel.

General Transportation and Airport Shuttle Services To / From Ketchikan Hotels: The Ketchikan Transporter will pick you up at the Airport and shuttle you, guests, and luggage to Ketchikan via the ferry. Cost is $25 per person. There is a reduced rate for those traveling with you. The Transporter will drop you off at your hotel or other final destination.

If you prefer not to travel via the Ketchikan Transporter, you may carry your own luggage and walk from the Airport to the ferry departure gate (a short walk). The cost for the ferry ride is $5 per person. Upon arrival, taxis or hotel vans can assist accordingly; however, you must call in advance for pickup from the ferry gate.
