Zachar Bay Lodge · Fall transportation
Your lodge stay and your fall flight are separate reservations.
Fall guests arrange and pay for transportation directly with Kingfisher Aviation. Start here before submitting your flight request.
First: which season?
The transportation arrangement changes in the fall.
You arrange transportation yourself.
Your lodging reservation does not reserve a seat on the airplane. Submit a separate request to Kingfisher for everyone whose transportation you are paying for.

Before requesting
A few details prevent surprises.
Complete the request for the people whose transportation you are paying for. Guests paying separately should submit their own request.
The 30% prepayment may be transferred to another person traveling at the same time, but it cannot be moved to a different trip.
If you arrange another flying service, notify both Kingfisher and Zachar Bay Lodge so passenger and lodge movements can be planned correctly.
Fall weather, daylight and freeze-up affect the operating plan. Do not build tight airline connections around the lodge flight.
