Your guide to booking Ketchikan flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For flights to Ketchikan, a good round-trip fare is around $551. If you find a fare below that, you're getting a strong deal.
  • If your travel dates are flexible, consider flying to Ketchikan in November. Round-trip fares historically average $579, making November the cheapest month to travel based on KAYAK data from the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat-selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to noon to save up to $88 per round-trip. Noon flights to Ketchikan average $666 compared to $754 for morning flights.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class and route. On flights to Ketchikan, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, Alaska Airlines includes a cabin bag in Economy Class, American Airlines includes a cabin bag in Economy Class and Island Air Express includes a checked bag in Economy Class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • Since Ketchikan has no direct road network access to the outside world, flights are the easiest way to reach this Alaskan city. The best way is to fly into the nearby airport on Gravina Island, Ketchikan International Airport (KTN).
  • You have the freedom to select between direct and changeover flights to Ketchikan International Airport (KTN). If time's an issue, a direct flight will suffice. However, it wouldn't hurt to journey a longer route if you're a leisure traveler and get to save some bucks while on your adventure.
  • Once you arrive at Ketchikan International Airport, it's wise to place all your gels, liquids, and creams in a separate container before passing through security. That will enable you to complete the security check in no time and spend the least time possible on the airport grounds. Note that you can only pass with liquids in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters), and the container should be a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Seniors and disabled travelers can take advantage of the free transportation (you'll only pay your ferry fee) between Ketchikan International Airport (KTN) and the Light House Grocery area or Fawn Mountain Road vicinity. However, ensure that you reserve a spot a day in advance to give the service provider enough time for scheduling rides.
  • When traveling on a budget, we recommend that you mix and match your fare types and airlines. That way, you'll get to select the best deals and minimize travel costs.

Our gate agent was absolutely amazing. Personable, kind, and helpful. She alone makes me want to return to use Alaska Airlines.

Our gate agent was absolutely amazing. Personable, kind, and helpful. She alone makes me want to return to use Alaska Airlines.

Don’t fly with Alaska if you have a layover in Seattle. Guaranteed to screw you over. We waited at terminal S3 &were >2 hours delayed(mechanical issues)and told to change terminals to a different plane that required riding 3 shuttles to get to new terminal N14. Then they delayed the flight even further and changed gates again. when I went to the customer service in terminal N, the manager turned me away without apologizing & refused to assist me but mandated I leave her alone as her shift is nearly finished and insisted I totake another 2 shuttles to terminal C so I can just talk to another service rep while dragging my family of 4/ kids in tow.

Everything was good. Please have a wheat free option for snacks in the future.

Not delay for a few passengers. That was uncalled for. If idiots can't make the flight on time thats their fault. Why should I be punished for them? No more holding the plane for one or two people

How can I review what was denied to me. Instead of offering to let me pay for the ticket I got booted of my flight with no way home and no choice but to purchase another ticket for 12 hours later. Filing a complaint with the DOT

I like them since I live in Alaska and I don't have much choice

Coke zero offered...good. The proptness of flight was late. This has been a everytime thing for my last 9 flights. And is putting alot of pressure on my connecting flights. Not a bit punctual. I am always early, but Ak. Airlines is not. And people i happen fly beside, parrot the same thing. The baggage delivery to baggage claim, is not prompt. Its slowwwww. The seats are poorly padded, very crowd. We need more room, not padding the airlines bottom line. Its like a cattle car. More leg room, more side to side room. And attendants need upgrade of verbal skills. I have been faithful to Ak. A., but it will change if changes are not made. Not the only planes in the sky.

We were very late to take off, late exit plane, and luggage took a long time.

It was very good. I love flying with Alaska air.

Beware when booking this flight! It’s not immediately obvious that there are 2 stops before landing in Ketchikan… the same flight continues to Seattle after (all with the same flight number!) When searching to book, it shows a direct flight even though it has multiple stops. The flight later on the day (which I booked originally when falling into this trap) stops 3 times before Ketchikan!!! Had to pay an extra $50 per ticket to do a same day switch to the morning flight with less stops. Very upsetting

Business class flight attendant was very good. But our flight was delayed two hours for a “mechanical” bathroom issue that literally took 5 minutes to fix. Our plane landed early from its previous flight but still waited for a mechanic to show up to fix an obvious minor issue for almost three hours. This caused us to miss our connecting flight. They put us up in a Days Inn that was 17 miles away from the airport that took a half hour of driving just to get to and this was at 11pm at night. Then when we finally got back on a plane after a full day delay they left our luggage back in the airport. This was an international flight, so no luggage or belongings after flying 8 hours to a different country. We will NEVER fly American Airlines again.

12 hour wait in pdx to my initial flight to Dallas to hunstville

I was able to enlist on standby for an earlier flight, and eventually made it (last row). However, the experience was poor and felt unfair. On the standby list, I was ranked #2 (#1 had been cleared a seat). The person ranked as #3, who was also in the queue alongside me was given a seat much earlier - with group 4 boarding (a seat within the first 2 rows after business class). When inquired about why I was skipped-over on the priority list, the gate agent first paused (likely cuz she couldn't explain) - and then gave me the standard expectation that if a space opens up, she'll give me the seat. Despite my priority ranking being higher, I was unduly held-back, and could have missed the plane - unfairly giving advantage to someone else. Luckily one seat opened up; but given the unfair assignment of standby seat by gate-agent, this was a subpar boarding experience.

The airline was small and the seats were not comfortable to sit in for that length of time.

Everything was fine except they changed the gate number and we ended up running all over LAX because of it.

Flight DFW > CVG was delayed with late notice. My flight into DFW from CVG (previous) was delayed by multiple hours with very poor communication & advance notice. And having the flight attendants announce the credit card during the flight when I can't opt felt very insulting and cheap. I already paid you for the flight, you shouldn't be able to take my time and attention hostage for further advertising.

Im sitting here waiting over an hour for my golf clubs

Flight was 2+ hours delayed and they “misplaced” all 3 of our checked-in bags.

It was freezing in the cabin. That's on me to be better prepared in the future.

Overall, really good experience, on time and the comfort was there. Wi-Fi was easy to connect
