Alaska: By air

Anchorage is no longer the major air crossroads it once was, but it's still easy to fly to Alaska. It is, however, very expensive. Most but not all flights from the Lower 48 are routed through Seattle. The most frequent service from the west coast is operated by Alaska Airlines/ERA Aviation (tel 1-800/252-7522, ), whose money-saving package enables you to fly to towns like Juneau, Sitka, Cordova and Fairbanks at little extra cost. Round-trip fares from Seattle to Anchorage are around $460 if bought three weeks in advance, but occasional short-notice deals turn up for under $200 - check the website. Better still, foreigners traveling from outside North America can make use of the "Best of the West" airpass.
