How should I structure my travel arrangements?

Travel Suggestions

3 pieces of advice

  1. Do NOT book your commercial flight early the next morning. The later the better. Better still, the day after that,
  2. Book a refundable/changeable ticket for your return flight home, and
  3. Purchase travel insurance.
Weather delays are always possible in the backcountry with bush planes.
The more cushion you give yourself before a committed departure flight home, the better.
Definitely don’t try to book something out on the evening of our return. Or the next morning. We SHOULD be back by then, but there are so many moving pieces to these trips, it’s much better to not have the stress of having to re-arrange flight schedules. Even if it’s just for something simple like road construction delays or flat tires, or a healthy travel schedule is one with some slack built into it.
