Airlines & Ferry Information
The town of Craig and Prince of Wales Island is served by both scheduled air and water transportation originating from Ketchikan, Alaska’s first city. Ketchikan is about 90 minutes north by air from Seattle.
Seattle to Ketchikan
All direct flights to Ketchikan originate from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington State. Alaska Airlines is the only carrier currently providing jet service to Ketchikan. During the summer at least 4 non-stop flights arrive daily in Ketchikan from Seattle, starting early in the morning through late afternoon, so further connections to the Island are convenient.
