KTS β TLA
Which side of the plane to sit from Brevig Mission Airport (Brevig Mission) to Teller Airport (Teller)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a direct view of the iconic Point Spencer sand spit and the expansive Bering Sea horizon during this short hop.
Point Spencer
A dramatic 15-mile long sand spit that hooks into the sea, defining the entrance to the harbor.
Point Spencer Facilities
The remnants of the historic Coast Guard LORAN station and current infrastructure on the spit's tip.
Bering Sea Gateway
The transition point where the calm waters of the bay meet the rugged, open Bering Sea.
This is one of the shortest commercial flights in the world, usually lasting under 10 minutes. Sit on the right and have your camera ready immediately upon takeoff to capture the unique hook shape of Point Spencer. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun reflects off the Bering Sea to the west.
Port Clarence Bay
The deep-water bay that serves as a natural harbor between the two remote villages.
Tuksuk Channel
The narrow waterway visible to the east that connects the bay to the massive Imuruk Basin.
Seward Peninsula Tundra
Vast stretches of treeless, rolling arctic wilderness stretching toward the interior of Alaska.
Look toward the horizon to spot the Imuruk Basin. In winter, this side is excellent for viewing intricate geometric patterns formed by sea ice and pressure ridges within the sheltered bay.
