joro2548 Posted August 19, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Any opinions on Mt. Mckinley flight tours. Can't decide on grand tour with a glacier landing or the summit flight to see the top. Anyone done both? How about K2 or Talkeetna Air Taxi? Thanks in advance.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted August 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yes, I have done both. I pick the summit flight over and over, the glacier landing was more done for the ski plane experience, since the landing is just about all snow. My husband is a private pilot, the trip was great, once! Syracuse is in the snow belt, so I definately get plenty in New York State. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stired Posted August 21, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have only done the glacier landing flight and loved it. Talkeetna Air Taxi was very professional and accommodating when our 1st try had to be canceled due to weather conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyIL Posted August 21, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2008 We did the McKinley Base Camp Tour with glacier landing with Talkeetna Air Taxi 2 weeks ago - and it was fabulous! http://www.talkeetnaair.com/flightseeing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Teach Posted August 21, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Has anyone used Talkeetna Aero Services for a Summit flight seeing? Would you recommend them? They will be having a 2 for 1 coupon in the 2009 Toursaver as I have been emailing them about next June. So far they have responded quickly and professionally. Thanks ahead of time for any comments!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ahead of time for any comments!!!:) I haven't used them personally, but I know they are one of the 3 vendors most often recommended on these boards, particularly by BQ. The big 3 seem to be Talkeetna Air Taxi, Talkeetna Aero and K2 Aviation. And actually, I understand that TAT uses Aero for their summit flights, as TAT doesn't have the necessary airplanes for that trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveScotland Posted August 22, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2008 We've booked Rust's out of Anchorage for the only flight they have to Denali. We'll be on a float plane and will make one landing somewhere for a photo op. I think we follow the route that will take us up to some of the glaciers but no closer than 6 miles to the summit. Anybody have any experience with Rust's? Our flight day is September 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
