Built more than 60 years ago and currently named after its home state's most famous political figure, the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport provides regular flights between the American state of Alaska and many destinations in the Lower 48 and Hawaii, as well as limited European cities. As the largest airport in the state it's often the first port of call for visitors to Alaska; hire a car from Anchorage International Airport to ensure your trip to Anchorage - or one of the surrounding regions - runs according to your schedule.
The placing of Anchorage on the map makes it a prime location for transportation and storage of much of the world's exports, while the layout of the city allows for convenient access to Anchorage's most-visited attractions. If you're beginning your trip in Anchorage, you may find that hiring a car from Anchorage Airport is the best way to get there; regular trains run between airport and city but you might find a hire car more suitable when working out the logistics of your trip. For fun and diversion we highly recommend checking out the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, which hosts large concerts and performances by established and upcoming talent.
