Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, members of the order include deinotheres, gomphotheres, mammoths, and mastodons.
This in part because Delta goes directly to Sitka, while the Alaska Airlines flight usually bobs, making a stop in Juneau or Ketchikan that eats up an extra hour.
Itâs only an hour flight from Portland, and there appear to be many flights daily. There is a 9 pm Air Alaska/Delta flight to YVR, which means they could easily connect to the 2 am CX flight for Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, they could connect to a flight to Denpassar with only a 3 hour layover.
