Rendezvous Tour

Each time I travel on business or pleasure, I seem to always try and find something to do for fun that involves airplanes. A trip to Seattle recently was no exception.

As I stood on the Marriott Residence Inn’s balcony overlooking scenic Lake Union, a unmistakable sound began reverberating across the marinas below. What made me grin widely was the wonderful sound of a large radial engine pulling a beautiful yellow and white De Havilland Beaver seaplane off the lake. To me, it was like going to the symphony.

The seaplane airline – Kenmore Air – offers one of the finest views of Seattle, Victoria and the San Juans you can find. Their sightseeing flights fill up, so when I called, I told them I was a pilot/writer and was eager to take my first seaplane ride and then write about the experience here. Kenmore’s Lake Union Supervisor found a way to accommodate me by slipping me into the right cockpit seat of their afternoon multi-stop run from their busy Lake Union Terminal to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island and then on to Deer Harbor and West Sound on Orcas Island. It was one of the most awesome trips I have made by air ever…a “media ridealong” I will never, ever forget.

I had my pre-conceived notions about flight in a seaplane, and all were proven incorrect. Pre-conceived notion #1 was obliterated when I assumed the pilot, Chuck Perry would prefer to be called “Captain”, but determined quickly that “captains” drove tugboats, and Alaskans that fly off the water in planes equipped with floats are really just like the rest of us aviators.

Pre-conceived notion #2 came when Chuck lit up the 750-shp PT6 hanging on the Otter’s nose. Blindfolded, Perry could have done this maneuver quickly, since it appeared he had done it about ten millions time before. Calmly, he brought up the power, pointed the nose to the middle of the lake where there were no sailboats, and sent the throttle to the forward stop. With just three passengers and no luggage on board, we were off the water in well under half the distance I expected, wiping out my expectation that seaplanes took forever to launch. (more…)

Are you preparing for a trip that requires air travel?  If you are, you may want to take the time to familiarize yourself with a few helpful tips.  Some of these tips are outlined below for you and, when properly implemented, they may be able to save you both time and money.

Before leaving for the airport, as well as before packing your bags, be sure to familiarize yourself with airport security rules and restrictions.  If you keep a close eye on the news, you may already know most of the rules, but you may still want to visit the online website for the TSA before leaving.  This will result in you making it through airport security a lot quicker.  Also, when you pack your bags based on existing rules, you are less likely to have to throw away any prohibited items, which can cost you money.

When packing your bags, be sure to pack with care.  This is extremely important with your checked baggage.  If you will have liquids in your checked bags, like shampoo or lotion, be sure to wrap them in a plastic grocery bag.  This will be a lifesaver if anything spills or breaks open.  If packing items these items in a carry-on bag, make sure that you are following all rules.  For example, only small travel sizes are allowed and you are required to keep them separated in a plastic ziplock bag.
