@AlexRMEF We just did both last week. Alaska air cargo for 618lbs from Kodiak to anc with hazmat was $425. A 68 lb cooler of meat checked on Alaska airlines from Kodiak to Minneapolis was $100. 618/425= .69 $100/68=.68
Reviving an old thread. For those going to AK in 2026, just be aware, Alaska Airlines has changed their baggage fees and bringing meat home as baggage just got a whole lot more expensive.
