It was an unforgettable experience

Our family of four had the absolute thrill of a lifetime on Denali Air's express flightseeing tour! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience, made even more special by our incredible pilot, Nat. His expertise and easygoing personality created the perfect blend of adventure, education, and humor as we soared over the breathtaking landscapes of Denali National Park.

Policies

  • Weather Policy

    The weather in the mountains is difficult to predict and we rely on a variety of sources to make decisions about flights and educate visitors about flight conditions. We check weather cameras in the Denali vicinity and also rely on pilot reports in addition to more traditional weather sources (radar, etc). The weather in the Park and especially Mt. Denali can be very different than the weather at the hotels/in the Park entrance area. We always recommend that visitors contact us directly to find out the most current weather reports.

  • Cancellation Policy

    Reservations may be cancelled with no penalty 24 hours or more prior to flight time. Flights may be rescheduled, as needed, based on availability. Weather cancellations are at the discretion of Denali Air.

  • Child Policy

    Children under age 2-years are lap babies and are free of charge; a lap baby does not get his/her own seat. We appreciate advance notice when you will be traveling with a lap baby. Children aged 2-12 qualify for a reduced fare.

  • Shuttle Availability

    We offer courtesy shuttles to and from all area accommodations and landmarks. Pick-up times range from 30-60 minutes prior to flight times, depending on location.
