Alaska has six times more pilots per capita and 14 times as many airplanes per capita as the rest of the United States. The Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport serves 5 million passengers each year. Lake Hood, in Anchorage, is the largest and busiest seaplane base in the world with an average of 234 takeoffs and landings daily, and more than 800 on a busy summer day. Merrill Field records more than 207,000 flights each year and more than 1,200 on a peak day in July. This is because of the many remote villages and parks in Alaska which can not be reached by road and are easily accessible only by air. Leave a Comment

If you plan months ahead of time the flight to Alaska from the main States are very low, but I do have to let you know that to drive would be crazy, Alaska is very far and deep, better you fly to Alaska then rent a car to get you around this vast region. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Unless you stay in SouthEast Alaska, all roads and airplanes come through Anchorage. They really are the transportation hub for Alaska. Anchorage is served by several major airlines, including Alaska Airlines, NorthWest, United, American, and even SouthWest.
Air service from Anchorage to the "bush" ( and it ain't the bush if you can drive there) is through a variety of regional carriers such as PenAir, Frontier and ERA. Alaska goes to several of the larger bush communities such as Nome, Barrow, Kotzebue, Bethel, Dutch Harbor, etc. Leave a Comment

Because of its enormous size and sporadic human settlement, Alaska has the highest number of licensed pilots per population. Next to Anchorage's International Airport, there's a floatplane airport by Lake Hood and Spenard Lake. These small planes can be dragged around by a car. Here I saw a traffic sign that says "Stop for Airplane" for the first time. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

It's easy to catch a flight to Anchorage. I flew direct from Germany to Anchorage this summer (via Condor). As it's a worldwide shipping hub, catching a flight is an easy dream... Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Once you get in Alaska, you might take Era Aviation to travel around the state. They don't operate any jets, but their prices are very reasonable! Leave a Comment

Anchorage has an international airport and is serviced by all major carriers. Some people choose to come on cruiseship, and some drive the AlaCan Highway. We are a long way away but you can get here if you want. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneWebsite: alaskaair.com

Anchorage has an international airport.
You can drive through Canada, too.
Cruise ships cannot dock anywhere near Anchorage that I know of.
We usually drive to Anchorage. The bus system is not something to rely on for quick transportation and cabs are expensive.
If you fly to Anchorage, I recommend you rent a car. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
