ANC: Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport

Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) is Alaska’s major airport. A free airport shuttle bus takes passengers to the South (Domestic) Terminal, North (International) Terminal and Rental Car Facility daily, every 15 minutes. If you want a car then plan ahead as most rental companies are pretty much sold out from mid-June through the end of August. Otherwise there is a good bus service into the city and a taxi ride shouldn’t cost you more than $25.
