THE ONLY WAY TO FLY

Nancy_A, Jun 2023

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE FLYING FROM VANCOUVER TO SEATTLE!!!! The staff in Vancouver were very friendly and helpful from the day I made our reservations right up until we flew. You show your passport when you check in. Your luggage is weighed and if you’re like us you’ll be a bit overweight as we came off of a cruise. We paid some extra for that but overall it is cheaper to fly with Harbor Air Seaplanes than to fly commercial! There are no long lines to wait in! You don’t walk forever through the airport. It’s a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!! (You fly low the entire way, enjoying an hour of magnificent scenery, land on Lake Washington, Uber 24 minutes to Sea-Tac and you’re flying home.) Then when you land in the US…another plus…your plane of 9 passengers are the only ones to pass through customs and border patrol. It’s quick, easy, a few steps from your plane and you’re on your way. We loved it!

Enjoying the flight in a small plane, not stress/ anxiety like in a big jet in a long distance flight. Spectrum viewing through window. I looked at every where - snow mountain, sea, town.

Spoiled forever

Shawn_W, Sep 2022

What a simple, seamless, and amazing way to get from downtown Vancouver to downtown Seattle. Plus... what views! Loved it. Felt very safe and the water landing is even more gentle than landing on an airstrip.
