          Commercial flight to Fairbanks, Alaska. From Fairbanks there are two basic options to camp fly or fly. First option is to fly on a chartered flight from Fairbanks into a staging strip or Kavik with Wrights Air Service. Second option is to fly from Fairbanks to Deadhorse, Alaska (also referred to as Prudhoe Bay). There are commercial flights each day into Deadhorse with Alaska Airlines on an average cost of $650. In Deadhorse, there is a hotel and restaurant and outfitters will have a small camp approximately an hour south of town, where you can stay if needed due to weather. If you are booking a flight into Deadhorse book it for a morning flight on the way in to allow for maximum amount of time to get into Kavik and into spike camp minimizing your chance to have to stay in Deadhorse at $250 per night. On the way out, book the flight as late as possible to allow enough time to get out of the field to Deadhorse.
