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 $552. If you find a fare below that, you're getting a strong deal.
  • If your travel dates are flexible, consider flying to Ketchikan in May. Round-trip fares historically average $591, making May 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 $110 per round-trip. Noon flights to Ketchikan average $629 compared to $739 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

Flight took additional prep time since plane came from Mexico, which resultrd in boarding and plane prep being delayed for additional cleaning procedures. Once boarded, plane tire was identified as being low on air and needed to be replaced, which creared the need to deboard and further delays for what was already a late night flight. Would have expected a better scheduled turn around and prep buffer that would have not created that degree of delay and deboarding

My luggage was lost at some point during my layover between Chicago and LHR. I landed Tuesday morning, and did not get it until Thursday night. Ironically, the people at the ticket desk had added a “priority” sticker to my tracking tag.

The guy sitting in front of me kept pushing hard his sit against my legs… very uncomfortable

The customer representative that helped me when I checked in was horrible as she told me I couldn’t check my bag because I missed the 45minute rule by 2 minutes - because of the line at the counter My connection flight was delayed too

My experience was fine, with one surprising exception. After leveling off at cruising altitude, the main cabin flight attendant made an announcement that he had a cold, so he would not be coming through the aisle to provide cabin service. He claimed this was in consideration of his health and safety and ours. However, if passengers wanted a beverage, he invited them to come to the back of he plane, where he would provide service. I understand that a flight attendant's primary responsibility is to ensure passenger safety, but a secondary role is to provide service. If this flight attendant was too sick to perform his duties - and if he truly cared about passenger health and safety , as he claimed - he should have stayed home and called in sick, rather than exposing the cabin to his germs.

The flight was delayed multiple times. Breakfast was not served and only an apology given and statement that we could find better pastries in Paris. Seats were extremely narrow and uncomfortable.

Seats are very comfortable but WAY too small...i'm only 5'11" and 170 lbs but i barely fit in the chair! Food is just abysmal. I don't even bother eating. Staff were very professional, boarding was smooth, and plenty of room in overheads.

The flight was normal, until it wasn't. I fell asleep after boarding, woke up still on the ground, the flight couldn't leave the gate due to mechanical issues, including a/c failure. The air felt thin, similar to high altitudes, not sure if that's why I fell asleep but it happened to the passenger next to me too. They hooked us up to external air but it didn't seem to help much. They finally decided to deboard us after nearly 2 1/2 hours. We reboarded about 45 minutes later and landed about 3 hours 15 minutes late. Some passengers got water or something but I was never offered either. Honestly, with that big of a delay, they should have provided full service to make sure their sweating passengers had fluids. Yes, it was a typical over 90 degree day in Texas. The lady in front of me said she was getting a heat rash. It was rough . . .

The boarding and flight announcements need to be honest and accurate. These were not. While flight delays cannot be avoided, please. be honest with the passengers in informing us about the timing of the delays. Deceptive delay times is not good business. Deceptive and/or grossly inaccurate boarding times are not good business either.

My number one reason for satisfaction is that there were no delays. Secondarily, the boarding process is always easy. The flight staff are friendly. I will say that the pretzels are not great. They need to revamp their snack offerings like what United has done.
