When to Go
The best time to book an alpha helicopter flight in Alaska is during the warmer months, from May to September. During this period, the weather is more predictable, and the landscapes are lush with greenery and wildlife. However, each season offers its unique charm, and winter flights provide a magical view of snow-covered peaks and frozen lakes. For current weather conditions and forecasts, visit NOAA or Weather.gov.
What to Wear
Dressing appropriately for an Alaska helicopter flight is crucial. Layering is key due to the variable weather conditions. Start with a base layer for warmth, followed by an insulating layer, and top it off with a waterproof and wind-resistant outer layer. Sturdy boots and gloves are recommended, especially if you plan to explore on foot after landing. For more detailed advice on dressing for Alaskan weather, check Travel Alaska.
