It&#8217;s such an endlessly vast and breathtaking corner of the world that it will completely captivate you \u2014 but at the same time, your wallet is in for a serious shock \ud83d\ude05. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I dreamed about Alaska flights and this trip for ages, and the logistics alone always felt overwhelming. After all, this isn&#8217;t exactly a destination where you&#8217;d book a flight on Friday evening and hop on a plane with a small backpack on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turquoise lakes, majestic mountains reaching into the sky, bears catching salmon in wild rivers, and glaciers that will literally leave you gasping in disbelief \u2014 it&#8217;s all waiting for you here. But to see this beauty with your own eyes, you first need to actually get there. So I&#8217;ve broken the whole thing down piece by piece \u2014 from flights and ESTA to car hire and what to do when a grizzly pops out of the bushes in front of you. So you don&#8217;t forget a thing \ud83d\ude09 You&#8217;ll see that when you prepare in advance, it&#8217;s actually a lot of fun! \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured.jpg\" alt=\"Ted Stevens Airport terminal in Anchorage\" class=\"wp-image-169558\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ted-stevens-letiste-anchorage-featured-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ted Stevens Airport terminal in Anchorage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/alaska-travel-logistics-guide\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/alaska-travel-logistics-guide\/#When_to_Go_and_How_to_Get_to_Alaska\" >When to Go and How to Get to Alaska<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/alaska-travel-logistics-guide\/#1_Bureaucracy_and_ESTA_forget_about_a_full_visa\" >1.

Bureaucracy and ESTA: forget about a full visa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>American bureaucracy can be unforgiving at times, and mistakes aren&#8217;t easily pardoned \u2014 but for regular tourism, the process is fortunately quite straightforward. If you&#8217;re flying to Alaska for less than 90 days, you don&#8217;t need to deal with a complicated visa application at the embassy. The electronic ESTA registration is all you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation is a biometric passport valid for at least six months beyond your planned return date. Always complete the registration through the <a href=\"https:\/\/esta.cbp.dhs.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official government portal<\/a> only. It costs exactly 21 USD (around \u00a317) and you pay online by card. I&#8217;m deliberately stressing this because there are plenty of scam intermediary websites lurking on the internet that will try to charge you double or triple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officially, the authorities say approval can take up to 72 hours, but our experience is that the system usually gives the green light within a few minutes. An approved ESTA is then valid for a full two years (or until your passport expires), so you can use it for multiple trips to the States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Alaska_flights_no_direct_route_from_London\"><\/span>2. Alaska flights: no direct route from London<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Geography is geography, and there&#8217;s simply no direct flight from London to Anchorage. Your destination will be Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), an absolute giant and incidentally one of the busiest cargo airports in the entire world. The journey typically involves one or two connections, and you&#8217;ll spend anywhere from 16 to 22 hours in the air and at terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"940\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage.jpg\" alt=\"Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 on the runway in Anchorage\" class=\"wp-image-169559\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage-700x321.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage-768x352.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage-1536x705.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage-696x319.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage-1392x639.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-airlines-letenka-anchorage-1920x881.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 on the runway in Anchorage (Photo: Frank Kovalchek \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 2026 summer season, one of the quickest options is with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.condor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Condor<\/a>, which flies direct from Frankfurt to Anchorage \u2014 the flight on a modern Airbus A330-900neo takes just under 10 hours. A return ticket from Frankfurt to Anchorage typically costs between 600 and 800 USD (roughly \u00a3480\u2013\u00a3640). You can easily reach Frankfurt via a budget airline or Eurostar and onward train. Alternatively, flying from London Heathrow with connections via Seattle or Minneapolis on airlines like British Airways, Delta, or United is very common \u2014 expect to pay around \u00a3700 to \u00a31,400 return depending on how far in advance you book.

The main tourist season in Alaska essentially runs only from late May to early September \u2014 that&#8217;s your window. We prefer the period from mid-June to the end of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/seward.jpg\" alt=\"One of the most expensive excursions we&#039;d ever done \u2014 kayaking among glaciers in Seward.\" class=\"wp-image-128004\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/seward.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/seward-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/seward-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/seward-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/seward-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the priciest excursions we&#8217;d ever done was kayaking among glaciers.

On the flip side, this is also when Anchorage fills up with crowds, accommodation prices skyrocket, and the highways are lined with convoys of motorhomes. Even with the crowds, though, it&#8217;s absolutely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Anchorage_and_How_Much_It_Costs\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Anchorage and How Much It Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anchorage isn&#8217;t actually the state capital (that&#8217;s surprisingly Juneau), but in practice it&#8217;s the hub where everything revolves. You set off from here, and you come back here. Nearly 300,000 people live here, which makes up almost forty percent of Alaska&#8217;s entire population. This is most likely where you&#8217;ll launch all your excursions from, so you&#8217;ll spend at least the first and last nights of your itinerary here. Fair warning: accommodation cost us more than we expected, and we&#8217;d come prepared for high prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu.jpg\" alt=\"Streets of Anchorage after arriving in Alaska\" class=\"wp-image-169561\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/anchorage-ulice-po-priletu-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Streets of Anchorage after arriving in Alaska<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me be completely honest \u2014 pricing in Alaska is subject to insane seasonality. A cosy little room that would go for a hundred dollars in February can climb to 350 to 500 USD (\u00a3280\u2013\u00a3400) for a single night in July. Forget budget travel here. If you&#8217;re after luxury, the iconic Hotel Captain Cook offers city-wide views with prices starting around 450 USD. We prefer the happy medium right in the city centre, where you can choose from hotels in the 250 to 350 USD range (roughly \u00a3200\u2013\u00a3280).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got a very early morning departure or you&#8217;re arriving exhausted late at night, it makes great sense to stay right near the airport or by the floatplane base at Lake Hood. Prices are slightly friendlier there \u2014 expect around 200 to 250 USD per night. Many people also solve the first night by picking up their rented motorhome straight after arrival and sleeping at a campsite just outside the city, which saves the budget significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Car_Hire_and_Getting_Around_Alaska_What_to_Watch_Out_For\"><\/span>Car Hire and Getting Around Alaska: What to Watch Out For<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Independent travel in Alaska stands or falls with a rental car. Public transport might just about work for getting around Anchorage itself, but you simply can&#8217;t reach the wilderness without your own set of wheels. On top of that, rental company fleets are severely limited due to the short season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Book_the_car_before_the_flight\"><\/span>4. Book the car before the flight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This might sound like an exaggeration, but trust me \u2014 it&#8217;s not. Having flights to Alaska is all well and good, but discovering there isn&#8217;t a single car left to hire at the entire airport is enough to make you cry. Booking six to nine months ahead is an absolute necessity here. A standard compact SUV like a Toyota RAV4 will cost you roughly 150 to 300 USD per day (\u00a3120\u2013\u00a3240) during peak season in July and August. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I have had consistently great experiences with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalcars.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RentalCars<\/a>, which we use all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We booked our car back in January and even then we were grabbing one of the last vehicles in our category. Make sure you get unlimited mileage, because distances rack up in the blink of an eye out here. And a top tip: check whether the rental company offers free cancellation. It gave us huge peace of mind when we later tweaked our plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_gravel_road_trap\"><\/span>5. The gravel road trap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I always flag this to practically everyone I know. The contracts at those big, well-known international rental chains absolutely and strictly prohibit driving on unpaved gravel roads. If you break this rule and something happens to the car, they&#8217;ll instantly void your entire insurance without any discussion, and you&#8217;ll be paying for the damage out of your own pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna.jpg\" alt=\"Gravel road in Alaska \u2014 a trap for car rental companies\" class=\"wp-image-169562\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alaska-sterkova-cesta-gravel-pujcovna-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gravel road in Alaska \u2014 a trap for car rental companies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically off-limits are legendary routes like the Dalton Highway, Denali Highway, and McCarthy Road. If you&#8217;re planning to visit these areas, you&#8217;ll need to seek out local specialists who rent specially modified vehicles with two spare tyres. Be prepared to dig deeper into your pocket, though \u2014 local operators charge 30 to 50% more than standard rentals. We ultimately stuck to the permitted roads and even then it was occasionally an off-road experience we still smile about today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Motorhome_freedom_on_four_wheels\"><\/span>6.

The advantage is that they hand over the vehicle fully kitted out with bedding and cooking gear, so you can head straight to the shops for food and hit the road. Campsites do fill up quickly though, so if you opt for this route, don&#8217;t forget to reserve your pitches well in advance \u2014 ideally by spring \u2014 otherwise you&#8217;ll be scrambling to find a spot for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_What_Alaskan_highways_actually_look_like\"><\/span>7.

Alaska&#8217;s road network is extremely sparse, and the vast majority of this enormous state has no road access at all. Overland logistics essentially rely on just a handful of main routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord.jpg\" alt=\"Road along the Turnagain Arm fjord \u2014 a typical Alaskan highway\" class=\"wp-image-169567\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aljaska-dalnice-turnagain-arm-fjord-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Road along the Turnagain Arm fjord \u2014 a typical Alaskan highway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The paved Glenn Highway takes you to the stunning Matanuska Glacier. The backbone Parks Highway connects Anchorage and Fairbanks and is the only access point to the famous Denali National Park. And my personal favourite is probably the Seward Highway, which hugs the coastline. It can get terribly windy along there, but that feeling when you spot white beluga whales from the car window is absolutely priceless.

On top of that, many petrol stations close over winter, so you need to constantly watch the fuel gauge and fill up at every opportunity. We&#8217;ve heard more than a few stories about tourists who had to sleep in their car until a snowplough rescued them in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Money_Internet_and_Safety_in_Alaska\"><\/span>Money, Internet and Safety in Alaska<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right, flights and car sorted \u2014 but that&#8217;s only the beginning. The American way of life throws up a few things that nobody warned us about beforehand, so let me put that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Currency_tipping_and_the_nonexistence_of_taxes\"><\/span>9. Currency, tipping and the (non)existence of taxes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The currency is, of course, the US dollar, and from my experience Alaska is extremely card-friendly. Visa and Mastercard \u2014 including contactless and Apple Pay \u2014 are accepted almost everywhere, even at a remote petrol station in the middle of nowhere. That said, I&#8217;d still recommend carrying a small amount of cash, around one to two hundred dollars, for smaller purchases or camps where there&#8217;s no signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What might catch you off guard is the tipping culture. Tips follow the pretty firm American standard, and service staff rely on them as their primary source of income. In restaurants, it&#8217;s customary to leave 18 to 22% of the pre-tax bill. Leave housekeeping two to five dollars per night on the bedside table, and glacier tour guides generally expect around ten percent of the excursion price. One nice perk of Alaska, though, is that it&#8217;s one of only five US states with no state sales tax! Electronics or quality outdoor jackets can sometimes be bought here more cheaply than in the rest of the States, although some smaller towns do add their own local tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Mobile_data_and_why_your_UK_provider_wont_save_you\"><\/span>10.

The infrastructure here is quite specific, and even the American giant T-Mobile operates purely on roaming in Alaska. The absolute best coverage comes from the local operator GCI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I solve this with an eSIM, which we download to our phones before we even leave home \u2014 no stressful scrambling at airport kiosks.

Carrying bear spray on your belt during hikes is an absolute non-negotiable standard here \u2014 you really shouldn&#8217;t set foot in the wilderness without it. It works on the basis of highly concentrated capsaicin, sprays up to about seven to ten metres, and you can buy it in Anchorage at outdoor gear shops for around 50 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska.jpg\" alt=\"Bear-resistant container \u2014 essential gear for Alaska\" class=\"wp-image-169571\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bear-spray-bezpecnost-aljaska-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bear-resistant container \u2014 essential gear for Alaska (Photo: Grantbackpacker \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f Now for the most important rule: bear spray is banned from all commercial flights according to strict aviation security regulations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t take it in your hand luggage or in your checked bags. There&#8217;s a risk of explosion under pressure, so security will simply confiscate it. The only option is to buy it after you land in Anchorage and hand it in to a ranger station or hotel reception before your return flight. Trying to smuggle it through is genuinely not worth the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Travel_insurance_a_broken_leg_that_costs_as_much_as_a_mortgage\"><\/span>12.

The American healthcare system is notorious for its astronomical prices \u2014 even a straightforward treatment and cast for a broken leg can cost between 15,000 and 30,000 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alaska adds the problem of extreme distances. An injury somewhere deep in the mountains of a national park will inevitably require a rescue helicopter. An air evacuation like that can easily swallow a hundred thousand dollars (over \u00a380,000). I&#8217;d recommend setting your minimum medical cover at no less than \u00a3200,000, ideally more. If you&#8217;re planning any higher-altitude treks into the mountains, carefully check that your insurer covers mountain hiking above 3,000 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Power_sockets_time_difference_and_drinking_water\"><\/span>13. Power sockets, time difference and drinking water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s quickly run through a few small details that people often forget before the trip. The time difference from the UK is significant \u2014 Alaska is nine hours behind (GMT-9), so for the first few days you&#8217;ll probably be seriously jet-lagged, waking up at four in the morning feeling like it&#8217;s lunchtime. The mains voltage is the American 120V with two flat-pin sockets. A basic passive travel adapter for a couple of pounds will do the job perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for water, tap water in Anchorage is completely safe to drink \u2014 it comes from a glacial lake. Once you head into the wilderness, however, all water from rivers and mountain streams must be properly filtered. Even crystal-clear water flowing straight from a melting glacier can contain nasty parasites that&#8217;ll land you with days of stomach cramps \u2014 and that&#8217;s really not how you want to spend your holiday \ud83d\ude01.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

In 1964, the second most powerful earthquake ever recorded hit here with a magnitude of 9.2, destroying much of the original neighbourhoods. Even so, there are some brilliant spots that will help you soak up the atmosphere before heading out into the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Tony_Knowles_Coastal_Trail_and_views_of_Denali\"><\/span>14. Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and views of Denali<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This nearly eighteen-kilometre paved trail is the city&#8217;s pride and joy, reserved exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists. It starts right by the train station in the centre, and if you hire a bike you can comfortably ride all the way to the vast Kincaid Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our favourite spot is the Point Woronzof viewpoint, where on a clear day you can see the snow-capped Mount Denali over 200 kilometres away \u2014 and with a bit of luck, you&#8217;ll spot white beluga whales swimming near the shore. We always pack a little snack and just sit there gazing at the water. After that long flight, it&#8217;s the perfect reset for both mind and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Culture_at_the_Anchorage_Museum\"><\/span>15. Culture at the Anchorage Museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the weather isn&#8217;t cooperating, go and get a dose of culture. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anchoragemuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Anchorage Museum<\/a> covers an impressive 10,000 square metres and admission for an adult costs around twenty-five dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside you&#8217;ll find over six hundred incredible artefacts from Alaska&#8217;s indigenous peoples. What impressed us the most were the war helmets of the native tribes \u2014 honestly, I didn&#8217;t expect to be standing in front of a display case with my jaw on the floor. It&#8217;s a wonderful way to understand the complex history of the north before you drive out to smaller indigenous villages in the countryside. Take your time exploring \u2014 it&#8217;s worth every penny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Hiking_Flattop_Mountain\"><\/span>16. Hiking Flattop Mountain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alaskans love the outdoors, and their favourite weekend activity is hiking Flattop Mountain. It&#8217;s hands-down the most climbed mountain in all of Alaska. The trailhead is roughly a twenty-minute drive from the city centre. The trail itself is just over two kilometres, but it&#8217;s a proper steep climb with 410 metres of elevation gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage.jpg\" alt=\"View of Anchorage from Flattop Mountain\" class=\"wp-image-169573\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/flattop-mountain-vyhled-anchorage-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of Anchorage from Flattop Mountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just below the summit, the hike even involves a bit of easy scrambling over rocks, so sturdy boots are an absolute must. Your reward, though, is an incredible panoramic view of all of Anchorage, the vast ocean, and the surrounding mountain peaks. Breathe in that crisp northern air to the fullest, because moments like these are exactly why we flew to Alaska!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat_in_Anchorage_From_Pizza_to_Reindeer\"><\/span>Where to Eat in Anchorage (From Pizza to Reindeer)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Food in Alaska can be fantastic \u2014 the portions are proper American-sized (meaning enormous) and the fish is fresher than anywhere else, of course. There&#8217;s nothing better after a full day of trekking than ducking into a warm pub and ordering something gloriously unhealthy, right? \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An absolute and undisputed institution is a place called <a href=\"https:\/\/moosestooth.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Moose&#8217;s Tooth Pub &amp; Pizzeria<\/a>. It&#8217;s actually one of the highest-grossing independent pizzerias in the entire USA! They bake incredible giant pizzas and brew their own beer in a small on-site brewery. Fair warning though \u2014 they don&#8217;t take reservations, and dining here in peak season can mean queuing outside for a good hour and a half. I&#8217;d recommend trying their &#8220;Large Avalanche&#8221; with chicken and bacon \u2014 it&#8217;s absolute heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a fantastic brunch so filling you won&#8217;t need lunch, head straight to Snow City Cafe in the centre. Their Eggs Benedict with crab meat is legendary. And if you fancy something uniquely Alaskan at a more reasonable price, stop by one of the street stalls on 4th Avenue. They sell the iconic Reindeer Sausage hot dogs piled high with caramelised onions. It&#8217;ll set you back around 10 dollars and tastes simply brilliant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_and_Tricks_How_to_Save_Money\"><\/span>Tips and Tricks: How to Save Money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s wrap up with our tried-and-tested tips that we use on every trip, not just to the States, to avoid throwing money down the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_find_flights\"><\/span>Where to find flights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Search for affordable Alaska flights on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwi.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kiwi<\/a> \u2014 it&#8217;s our favourite comparison site, and we love using it to piece together even complex multi-stop itineraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It pays to set up a price alert up to nine months in advance.
