Your questions about flights to Ketchikan, answered

Find helpful route details based on KAYAK data, including flight times, airports, airlines and booking questions.

  • What is the best way to get from Ketchikan Airport to Ketchikan city center?

    Since Ketchikan Airport sits on an island separate from Ketchikan, no road connects to the city. Rather, a ferry connects the two locations.

Passenger fares are about $6 for people aged 12 and older, around $3 for children aged 6-11, and free for kids 5 years and younger.

  • Can I rent a car at Ketchikan Airport?

    Yes, you can. Car rental agencies are among the amenities the airport offers travelers to make their journey seamless.

You can rent a car beforehand online or once you land at the airport.

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, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to land around $552 round-trip. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a strong deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, time your trip to Ketchikan around May. Round-trip fares historically average $591 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on 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. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • 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 and a checked bag in Economy Class, American Airlines includes a cabin bag in Economy Class and Hawaiian Airlines includes a cabin 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.

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 was smooth and on time: however, this flight was filled with advertising. We got it over the speaker system both when we took off and when we landed. Flight attendants were handing out sales flyers when we landed. It was not a good look.

More space for economy, and the bathroom size is only for people with size XS

We were delayed in CLT for 4 hours for mechanical issues resulting in us not leaving till 1:30AM and landing at 2:30 AM, so getting home at 4AM. The crew at the desk had no answers and provided very little information. I received a food voucher via email/app however there were no food places open. Even the walk up and scan your own places did not accept the QR code. I know mechanical issues occur but better communication would have made an unfortunate situation less frustrating.

The first leg of my trip from Dallas to CLT was smooth from check-in to landing. The snack, biscott cookie really needs an upgrade. Even if the upgrade is a choice of the cookie or pretzels.

If the service crew didn't make difference between people and they change my seat without asking me if is okay or not with me

Great for a small Commuter. Quiet and relaxing. Seats were better than most.

The plane was late getting to Ontario by half an hour which makes it inconvenient when you have people waiting for you.

Luggage handling and communication is extremely poor. I landed in india 15th and recived luggage today. Based on my itag the luggage was in Germany. They kept me in dark. Etihad num er in india was non operatuonal. Had to call USA etihad. It should not be so difficullt. I came for 1 week business trip everything was screwed . This is the first and also will be last for me

There was no service on the flight even though there was no turbulence or any other issues on the flight. Nobody greeted at the entry or leaving the airplane, staff crew looked annoyed and not helpful at all.

mechanical problem delayed more than 2 hours on the run way.
