We have flown with Paul for years as we have spent many summers and falls in Haines. Paul has always put safety and maintenance first which is most important to us and has always been MORE than willing to fit us into a trip. His plane and tours are definately the best in the area and we will not let... More

I recently flew with Paul Swanstrom, the owner and pilot of Mountain Flying Service, based in Haines, Alaska. I found Paul most accommodating and helpful. In my case, I needed a last-minute charter flight to do some professional aerial photography. I'm picky, make that very picky, with whom I hire for flying in small aircraft (planes or helicopters) for obvious... More

I was on a trip to Haines with my family, and I flew over Glacier Bay National Park with pilot Paul of Mountain Flying Service. The airplane was NEW and amazing, and I couldn't get over the size of the windows. I felt like I was one with the glaciers, and could touch the mountain. Paul was knowledgeable, and guided... More

I have lived in Haines for 16 years and have never seen Glacier Bay (which is literally in my back yard). However, not being a Bush Pilot, or willing to spend a week (and thousands of $$) on a cruise ship to get there, it might as well have been a thousand miles away. The fjords and mountains separating us... More

We took a flight over Glacier Bay with Mountain Flying Service. It was an evening flight and the scenery was breathtaking. The plane was awesome. Huge windows for both the front seat and the back seats. You could see almost to just below the plane. It was even equipped with skiis which allowed a graceful and safe glacier landing. Paul... More

We took a cruise to Alaska in June 2011. I had booked this tour prior to leaving for our trip, and merely kept in phone contact with their office to solidify our plans based on the cooperation of the weather that day. We went flightseeing when our cruise ship was docked in Skagway. My husband and I took a walking... More

We went on a Glacier Bay flight with Mountain Flying Service to do some photography and first hand research for our website. It was the most incredible flight we've been on. The windows were so huge it was like riding with a Jeep with the doors off. There was so much room and the windows were so big I was... More

I am Paul from Mountain Flying Service and would like to review the " Tucson Bob " review. First off Bob was alone, only one fare. We need atleast 2 fares and with these fuel prices really 3 fares. He wanted to go to Gustavus and I said that I could probably work him in on another flight. That I... More

We arranged this flight while we were on a tour Holland America. It was a last minute decision to see the mountains and glaciers from the air. We called Paul's office and lined it up with one phone call. Paul picked us up in Skagway. We took the 1.5 hour tour and saw lots of mountain peaks and glaciers. Paul... More
