Minor Bay Lodge Travel Information

Delta is once again offering special "Fisherman's Airfares".  These fares are less restrictive than regular "excursion" airfares that are available on-line.  This season we are also seeing that the "Fisherman's Fares" are also significantly less expensive than the regular economy fares available online through the airlines web sites. 

These "Fisherman's Fares" are only offered through a limited number of approved travel agencies that are affiliated with lodges and outfitters.

To check on the "Fisherman's Fares" please contact Heather at Heartland International Travel.  Their contact numbers are:

Delta has changed both its flight schedule, the number of flights between Minneapolis and Saskatoon and the type of aircraft they are using. 

• For 2011 there are fewer flights from the U.S. into Saskatoon as Delta has decreased the number of daily flights between Minneapolis and Saskatoon from four in 2010 to two in 2011.  United (SkyWest) also has two daily direct flights between Denver and Saskatoon every day with the exception of Sunday which only has one flight.  United Airlines also offers one daily flight between Chicago and Saskatoon with one stop.

  • Delta Airlines will have two daily flights operating between Minneapolis (MSP) and Saskatoon (YXE)

    • Depart MSP @ 11:45 - arrive YXE @ 13:06
