Don’t know how you’re getting to Forks?

Well, now…

You can take Bella’s Flight!!

That’s right!

Get your Summer School in Forks off to the right start by arriving the same way Bella did! You know . . . Page 3 of Twilight . . .  the small plane from Seattle to Port Angeles , landing in the rain, and then the drive to Forks?

Well, they can’t absolutely guarantee it will be raining on arrival, but rain or shine,Kenmore Air Express is the only airline that flies between Seattle and Port Angeles. Stephenie Meyer didn’t say so, but Bella must have flown on us, and you can too!

We offer several flights daily between downtown Seattle’s Boeing Field and Port Angeles, as well as complimentary shuttle service between Boeing Field and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for those flying in from elsewhere (Phoenix, for example!). The flights are only 35-minutes, cutting hours off the drive time, and instead of battling Seattle ’s infamous traffic, you enjoy stunning views of the city skyline, Puget Soundand the snow-capped Olympic Mountains .

And for Sumer School in Forks participants, we’re offering a special Twilight deal!

Book any flight to Port Angeles Monday, June 22–Thursday, June 25 and/or any flight from Port Angeles Sunday, June 28–Tuesday, June 30 for only $69 each way — that’s $20 off regular fare!

We’re also offering optional van transportation between the Port Angeles airport and Forks, with stops at the six main Forks motels. Van fare is $20 per person, and seats must be reserved at time of flight booking.

Finally, if you’d rather drive yourself, ask about our preferred rates with Budget Rent-a-Car.  No old Chevy pick-ups, but clean, reasonably priced cars waiting for you at the airport.

Kenmore Air’s Port Angeles flight schedule is available online at  www.kenmoreair.com

To book flights, shuttles and rental cars, call us toll-free at 866.435.9524 and be sure to ask for the Twilight Summer School Special. We look forward to seeing you on board!
