I have taken Northwest/Delta to Alaska since my first trip in 2001. Just happened to be in the bush on 9-11 without any contact with the outside world. We came back to Michigan on 9-19 on schedule, although a tense flight and 4 hours early for our flight out of Anchorage.
Went back to Anchorage with Delta on August 12, 2015 and from Michigan went to Atlanta, Georgia. Kind of strange to backtrack but then a straight flight to Anchorage. Usually from here we stop in Minneapolis, MN. I usually use frequent flyer miles and this was the cheapest flight at 25000 miles for the round trip, so I didn't complain about the route.
I was bowhunting caribou on the haul rd and took a handgun for bear protection and checking the gun was no problem as I carried it my checked bow hard case.
I am not happy with Delta and their trophy policy from Africa but hope they change.
