Flying (Commercial Airline)
Commercial air service to Valdez.
This is by far the most popular and convenient method to get you to the heli skiing in Valdez. The nearest Airport is the Valdez Airport, (VDZ) but you'll need to get to Anchorage first!
There are five major commercial airlines that provide year-round service to Anchorage (Alaska Airlines, Delta, Northwest, Continental, and United). Era Aviation is the only scheduled airline in and out of Valdez, Alaska and makes the 30 minute trip two or three times a day, each way, between Anchorage and Valdez. Era is an Alaska Airlines partner and you should be able to schedule flights through most of the major carriers.
We will meet your flight with one of our private VHC airport shuttles and deliver you to our lodge just 5 minutes away. You can find information on the commuter airline flights to Valdez at: www.flyera.com; or call them at (800)-866-8394 or (907)266-8394.
