*UPDATE: Since we sent out Save-the-Dates this spring, the Mammoth Lakes flight has changed several times. Alaskan Air had cancelled the flights around our wedding, which we mentioned to many of you and discussed alternate plans to travel to Reno. This has now changed, and Alaskan is offering a 4:15PM flight from LAX into Mammoth Lakes on Thursday, Oct 1 and Friday, Oct 2, with a corresponding departing flight back to LAX at 6:15PM on Sunday, Oct 4 and Monday, Oct 5. These flights do not come up on search engines but can be booked at the Alaskan site here.*
Please contact us if you have any trouble with travel options.
A) Coming From Southern California:
Drive to LAX, and take a short plane ride to Mammoth Lakes, CA (1.5 hour flight). *

B) Coming From the San Francisco Bay Area :
Take a plane to LAX (1.5 hour flight) to hop on the short plane ride to Mammoth Lakes, CA (another 1.5 hour flight).*

*In October, the only airline that services this airport is Alaskan Air, which departs once a day from LAX (Los Angeles). Once you've flown into Mammoth we can arrange to pick you up and bring you to June Lake (about 30 minutes by car) or you can rent a car from the Hertz car rental office there at the airport.
**It's unlikely, but possible that 120 or northern 395 might be closed due to snow in October, so check the Yosemite website for road conditions
