    Fairbanks International
    Airport
    by Stephen-KarenConn
    Fairbanks International Airport is located about 2 1/2 miles southwest of the city and is served by the following major Airlines:

    Alaska Airlines
    Frontier Airlines
    Northwest Airlines
    Lufthansa

    In addition there are numerous local and regional air carriers which take passengers and cargo to the many remote Alaskan villages which can only be reached, on a practical basis, by air. Because most of Alaska is roadless, the state has approximately six times as many pilots per capita and 14 times as many aircraft per capita as the rest of the United States.

    Most major automobile rental agencies can be found in the terminal. Also taxi, public bus, and shuttle transportation can be found to take you between the airport and the city.

All of these rental counters are located near the Baggage area of the airport, so you do not need to travel far with your luggage.

    If you don't like to fly, you can always drive the Alaska Highway (aka; the 'Alcan').
    There is no best way to get around in Fairbanks in the wintertime, but the safest is the the Borough bus. Driving around Fairbanks and Alaska during the winter months can be quite scary if you have never driven much on ice and in ice fog.

  • Tip Rating:

  • The quickest way to get to Fairbanks is to FLY here! Delta and Alaska Airlines are the only 2 major airlines to fly here from 'Outside' (as we call it) most of the year. From Memorial Day to Labor Day (approximately) Northwest Airlines also flies in and out of Fairbanks.

    HOWEVER! the best way to experience our distance from the rest of the U.S. is to DRIVE here - at least part of the way! Ferry from Seattle area (or B.C., Canada) will let you see the 'Panhandle' of Alaska, also known as Southeast Alaska. You can drive from Haines to Fairbanks - a LONG day, but best broken into 2 days if you're going to ENJOY this part of your trip. The Alcan (Alaska Highway) is mostly paved, mostly being the part that's presently under construction or improvement. There's always something that needs fixing on a road that long through the 'wilderness. Check with 'The Milepost' for the best, most complete information around. There are other guidebooks whose names escape me at the moment.
    If you fly here and can afford it, rent a car. Distances in and around Fairbanks make this the best transportation. If you're fit, bring a bike, or you can rent one from 'Beaver Sports' or 'All Weather Sports'. There is borough bus service, presently free during the winter. A day pass is $3.00 and covers a lot of territory. There is a good network of bike trails, wide shoulders on the roads, and graded crossings at intersections that make bikes and inline skates a feasible way to get around town. Out of town you'll need a vehicle. Cabs are outrageous for any distance. Don't even go there! Walking, if you have time and good shoes, is of course always a good way to get around.
