Juneau · before the booking layer

Should you fly? What kind? What can go wrong?

This is the research layer in front of Juneau Flight Deck. Resolve the expensive questions here—ship timing, weather exposure, landing versus scenic flight, group fit, and backup strategy—then move to the specialist site only when the decision points toward flying.

Existing DCC node

What is the backup if flight weather cancels?

Build the Plan B before the ship arrives rather than trying to salvage the day from the pier.

Existing DCC node

Whale watching or glacier flight?

Compare the two signature experiences before committing the port day.

Decision made?

If the answer is “yes, we want to fly,” leave DCC.

Juneau Flight Deck owns the next layer: choose the flight format and continue to current provider options. DCC does not need to impersonate the transaction site.
