ZACHAR BAY LODGE FALL TRANSPORTATION 2024
Hello and thank you for planning on visiting Zachar Bay Lodge
during the fall of 2024. We have been providing the primary
transportation to ZBL since 2016 with our DeHavilland Beaver. The
past few seasons, we have been faced with a few hurdles (weather,
scheduling order, cancellations/no-shows and Alaska Airlines) that
has put us in a position to re-evaluate our scheduling and pricing strategy.
What’s new:
Reservations:
Accepting and scheduling reservations starting January 1
Requiring a non-refundable prepayment of 30% transportation fee (you choose service level below)
Pre-Payment can be transferred to another person during same time, but not applied to another trip. . i.e – you need to find a replacement otherwise you will forefeit the prepayment.
Choose Service Level - Prices Per Person (Only available for scheduling Saturday):
PRIORITY (per person): $460 ONE WAY. $1.75 per pound extra over 300# total weight
GENERAL (per person): $360 ONE WAY. $1.35 per pound extra over 300# total weight
What’s the differences and how should you choose? Most of you know that I am one person, with one aircraft and sometimes have to make 4 to 5 flights to get everyone to/from the Lodge. There is not always enough time to get everyone moved with weather/daylight to catch the Alaska Airlines flight. If you are willing to schedule and pay for “Priority”, that is exactly what we will try to do – put you on the first or second flight, and the order will be determined by the order Pre-Payments are received. If there appears to be a high demand for “Priority”, I will try to schedule other Flying Services once my first two flights are filled – if there is no availability for “Priority” I will let you know. Weather can always be an issue in Kodiak.
Flights scheduled for Sunday through Friday (not Saturday):
$1650 Beaver: up to 1200# people + gear
$1100 Bush Hawk: up to 800# people + gear (not available after freeze-up)
Other Flying Services: If you prefer to utilize another flying service, please let Kingfisher and Zachar Bay Lodge know so we can plan accordingly. We are able to offer our per person rates with the anticipation of providing service to all the customers.
Ground Transport:
Courtesy van transport from hotels to Kingfisher/Aircraft prior to flight
Transportation to Kodiak Airport 2 hours prior to Alaska Flight
Storage of Hard Gun Cases / extra gear at our office
*Any other ground transport will be offered at our discretion. Kodiak offers several taxi
cab services and rental car services.
