Delta begins summer flights to capital of Alaska

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) – Delta Air Lines has begun its seasonal flights to the capital of Alaska.

The Juneau Empire reports flights from Seattle to Juneau started last week. They will run once a day during the summer season.

Planes will land in Juneau at night and depart in the morning.

Airport Manager Patty Wahto says Delta is more prepared this year for weather conditions that regularly make Juneau a difficult place to land.

Delta officials advise passengers to allot two hours for checking in.
