HOW TO GET TO YAKUTAT
With no roads into
Yakutat most visitors arrive by air. The village is also served by the
Alaska ferry system, but the schedule is limited and books up very
quickly for transporting vehicles to Yakutat (Check with the Alaska
Marine Highway online for detailed information). Unlike many rural
Alaskan destinations, the service offered by Alaska Airlines makes it
easy to plan your travel. Alaska Airlines serves Yakutat with two daily
flights on Boeing 737s. Yakutat is the smallest village with this level
of customer service and quality jet service.
