Economy Class

Alaska Seaplanes operate very small aircraft, which only gives it space for one cabin — Economy Class. The seats in the cabin are spaced out and give more room than normally found in Economy Class on other airlines.

Economy Class Facilities

The service is lead by one of the airline's pilots, who goes through all of the necessary pre-flight safety checks in great detail. 

As services are usually short and simple, there's no in-flight entertainment. However, all Alaska Seaplane flights offer incredible views of the surrounding scenery during the journey. 

Economy Class Seats

Seats are set out in a 1 x 2 or 1 x 1 formation. The cabin is small but spacious, which gives passengers a good amount of space around their seat.

Alaska Seaplanes flies services to Whitehorse

From 15th June 2018, Alaska Seaplanes added a new service to Whitehorse. The airline will fly between Juneau and Whitehorse three times a week — once on Tuesday, once on Friday and once on Saturday. Alaska Seaplanes will use a Pilatus PC12 aircraft to operate the service. The flight is expected to take 55 minutes.

Whitehorse is Alaska Seaplanes 13th destination from its airport hub at Juneau International Airport (JNU). The airline also flies to other destinations including Sitka, Kake and Hoonah.

Alaska Seaplanes launches flights between Whitehorse and Juneau

 Alaska Seaplanes has announced plans for thrice-weekly flights between Whitehorse, the capital to the Yukon, and Juneau, capital of Alaska, on a seasonal basis. From May to September, the 45 minute flight will link the two cities, which, despite being only 270km apart, normally take poor passengers 8 hours to travel to and from by ferry. One unfortunate thing about life in the North is that the transportation corridors tend to run North-South. It’s relatively cheap and easy to fly from Juneau to Seattle, Whitehorse to Vancouver, and Yellowknife to Edmonton. But it’s hard to go East-West between circumpolar cities.

Juneau is one of the few places on earth left inaccesible by road (for another se our blog post on Iquitos). For this reason, this new route is going to have an immensly positive impact on the residents of Alaska's capital. The route also makes it easier to foster community ties. The past Juneau tennis and soccer exchanges I have participated in have been a lot of fun. They offer participants the chance to hone their skills against new competitors, experience different facilities, make new friends and see another northern city.
