Flight duration, scheduling, and layovers are among the considerations that may influence age limits. We recommend that you double-check with the airline you are booking with for travel to Alaska.

Question 10

The travel and health documents you'll need for your trip to Alaska may differ based on your itinerary and personal situation.

It is always advisable to seek advice from your airline or a trusted third party, such as IATA.

Question 11

From where can you fly directly into Alaska?

Accepted Answer

You can fly directly to Alaska from a number of U.S. cities, including New York, Dallas, and Chicago. From New York, there is one nonstop flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), in Anchorage, Alaska. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) are the other airports from which you can find at least one daily direct flight to ANC. Alaska Airlines is the only airline currently offering nonstop flights to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage, from any of these airports. However, the largest number of flights to Alaska is from Washington, in particular from Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Dulles International Airport (IAD), and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). You have a higher chance of getting cheap Alaska flight deals if you book one of the airlines flying from DCA, BWI, or IAD, which make one or two stops along the way. For instance, if you book Alaska Airlines flying from DCA, you will have a 1h 20min layover at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) before proceeding to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Alaska. If you fly with American Airlines from BWI, you will be making one stop at ORD before proceeding to your final destination at ANC. Apart from ANC, Juneau International Airport (JNU) is another popular destination airport for flights to Alaska. American Airlines and Alaska Airlines are the main carriers flying from DCA, BWI, and IAD to JNU. American Airlines offers two-stop flights from Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to JNU, with Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and SEA serving as the layover airports.

Question 12

How do you get to the downtown from Alaska airports?

Accepted Answer

You have a variety of transportation options when connecting from two of the major Alaska airports to the city center. From Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) to Anchorage city center, you can use Bus Lines 40 or 65. These bus services are available at the airport every 5-10 minutes from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. A bus from ANC to the city center takes about 25 minutes. Alternatively, if you want to take the shortest time possible to connect from ANC to the city center, you have the option of taking a taxi, which can be accessed from the parking lot adjacent to the baggage claim area. From Juneau International Airport (JNU) to the city center of Juneau, Alaska, you have the option of using either buses or rental cars. In particular, Bus Lines 3 and 4 offer direct connections from the airport terminals to the city center, a journey that takes 20-25 minutes. To avoid the inconvenience of long queues at the various bus stops, you can opt to rent a car as an alternative means of getting out of the airport. The airport has an on-site rental car facility located just next to the terminal building. It takes about three minutes to walk from the baggage collecting area to this rental car center.

Question 13

What passport or visa requirements are there when visiting Alaska?

Accepted Answer

U.S. citizens require neither a visa nor a passport when flying to Alaska from any of the cities or states in the U.S. However, foreign travelers connecting to Alaska from different U.S. cities, including Washington, Dallas, New York, and Chicago, must have visas and passports, with the requirements varying with their respective countries of origin. For those required to have passports to fly to Alaska, the passport must be valid for at least six months from the date on which they arrive at any of the airports in Alaska, and they each should have at least two blank pages.
