Q: My sister and nephew-in-law want to visit my nephew's brother in Ketchikan, Alaska. We're from Las Vegas, what is the easiest route and cheapest way to go there by air? Thank you and please let me know asap. —Mary

A: Mary, Alaska Airlines is the only carrier that flies into Ketchikan, thus your only choice. Sorry there are no other options! You might investigate flying another carrier from Vegas to Seattle, but once you switch in Seattle to Alaska Airlines, the overall fare may not be much different.

However, the good news is that Alaska Airlines has just announced 25% off on fares into Southeast Alaska for the rest of this summer.
