It's been 15 years since I last flew out for a hunt. I almost always drive. But at age 60, Indiana to Oregon destroyed me last year, so I am looking to fly out for antelope & deer hunts I have in south central Oregon this year. Wanted to see if anyone might have any general tips for me to avoid mistakes. I have it down to either Southwest Airlines out of Midway Chicago, or American out of South Bend. (1st & 2nd baggage costs are offset by long term parking costs + extra drive) All costs I've evaluated seems like a draw, except price for a 3rd bag. SW is $75, AA is $150. Anybody got any strategy tips? I was thinking maybe shipping a box of clothes or something and flying with the meat. Not much on an antelope, which is the first hunt. Firearm policies seem similar. Thanks for any input.
Flying via Reno seems like a no brainer compared to options Boise or Portland. Hotels much cheaper in Reno, 2 hour shorter drive to Warner Unit. Rental truck for two weeks is pretty brutal @ $1,160. But doesn't seem like any way around that.
