*Very Important - Do not bring extra traveling clothes, suit jackets, or non-essential items as space is limited on flights and our lodge is very casual.

When getting dressed in the morning in Anchorage at your hotel, leave your street clothes and shoes in the storage area at the hotel as you do not need them in Cold Bay. You should travel in warm hunting clothes while wearing your parka and warm boots as well as gloves and warm hats in case of a weather delay along the way, as it is winter and space is limited. It is also a best practice to do so in the case that one of your bags gets lost or bumped due to any reason.

Carry on any medications or essential items you need for the week as occasionally the airlines can bump or temporarily have luggage delayed, due to weight and balance issues.
