Travlin grrl Posted July 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Has anyone done the float plane in Ketchikan on a cloudy, rainy day and if so how is visibility? Also what about the wind conditions? At what point would you say is too windy to go. I'm scheduled to go in about 10 days and not sure if I want to go if the weather isn't so good. Let me know your experience and the weather.

Budget Queen Posted July 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2013 You have to be willing to leave this decision to the pilot's expertise. There are visibility and wind standards which cancel flights. I have flown in less than ideal weather, no issue for me. But, I've flown this area over 20 times, so I'm coming from a different perspective. There is no way to predict what you are going to encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted July 12, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2013 As typical Budget Queen has nailed this issue. If the pilot cancels you get a refund. If you cancel on the day or even a few days ahead, you likely won't get a full refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeMark Posted July 13, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We flew on a kinda cloudy spitting a little rain sort of day. It was still magnificent. Went with SE Kayaking - did sea kayaks and then the plane taxiied right up to the big boat and we jumped in. Great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
