At the airport

Confirm South or North Terminal with the carrier. The airport identifies the South Terminal hotel-shuttle pickup outside level-one baggage claim across from door 6; other carrier pickups can differ.

Winter travel

Check Alaska 511 and the destination access road. Arctic Valley requires a suitable winter vehicle; a local Anchorage bus is not a service up that mountain road.
