Comments from first guests of 2008

"Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the excellent trip we just had in Alaska. Pete, Tony and the crew were excellent! Mike and I have been talking about your camp for the past few years and it was everything we told our two friends about and more. Even with the change in regulations, it was most excellent. My other two friends were very impressed and are still talking about it." - Chuck from Arizona

Alaska Airlines baggage policy change

Well it was just a matter of time, but Alaska Airlines is changing their checked baggage policy to go along with others who already started. As of July 1 you will be charged $25.00 for the second checked bag. If you travel before July 1 or booked your ticket before May 1, the old policy is still in effect: no charge for the second bag.

Why is this important? Most people take home 2 boxes of filleted, frozen and vacuum packed fish. We have always suggested people check these as their baggage. We strongly recommend you try very hard to bring your clothes in a carry-on bag as the 3rd checked bag for an individual will be an addtional $100.00!!!

Hmmmmmm. Do you suppose this is their way of offsetting part of the rapidly increasing fuel costs without having to call it a fuel surcharge?
