Top tips for finding cheap flights to Alaska

  • Travelers from the greater New York City area will be pleased with an array of flight options throughout Alaska for competitive rates. Popular vacation destinations in Alaska, such as Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Anchorage, are reachable from New York’s three major airports – John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia International Airport (LGA), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
  • Flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Ketchikan International Airport (KTN) on Alaska Airlines will generally have one layover. Flights from LaGuardia Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport on Alaska or American Airlines will have one to two layovers and may include a combination of departures/arrivals from the two airports.
  • Many travelers start their Alaskan vacation in Juneau, the capital city. Juneau is a great destination for those planning wilderness activities, such as fishing, dog sledding, and kayaking, in adjacent National Parks. Flights with the shortest duration to Juneau International Airport (JNU) generally involve one layover, and they will take about nine to twelve hours.
  • Known as a prominent shipping, fueling, and international hub, Anchorage’s equidistant proximity to New York, Frankfurt, and Tokyo makes it a popular destination. As Alaska’s largest metropolis, Delta Air Lines, Alaska, American, and United Airlines all serve Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) from New York.
  • Vacationers may want to fly to far north destination Fairbanks, which is known for attracting visitors for the Northern Lights during Aurora Season, from August to April, and its midnight sun in the summer. John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport are your best bet for flights to Fairbanks International Airport (FAI), which will have one layover, commonly at Seattle (SEA). Passengers who fly from LaGuardia Airport to Fairbanks will have two layovers.

This time it is good, no delay and right on time

Miss bigger screens for movies Staff was friendly Seats comfortable Bathroom line long

If there were movies it would have made the flight much easier.

Plane was delayed getting boarded and then again delayed in take-off order. Alaska Airlines must have very little clout at JFK so they don't get priority treatment. All the delays meant we missed the last flight from Portland to Eugene. Alaska did give us hotel voucher for the night...but sent us to a downtown Portland hotel rather than to a nearby airport motel which made for a longer ride at night and then again in the morning. Just made an already long, late night even longer. Hotel was an old outdated Hilton in a slightly seedy part of town. Alaska gave us Lyft vouchers for getting to the hotel, but the return voucher for getting back to the airport in the morning didn't work.

Could not check in online - had to get boarding passes at the ticket counter and our daughter got bumped off our connecting flight. NOT OK!

I purchased the internet during the flight and it stopped working after 1 hour, so I barely got to use it.

I had a negative experience, the flight delay was very long, I didn't like it

The seats in first class are very dated and quite uncomfortable. I don’t need lie-flat seats for a 6 hour flight, but more recline is really necessary.

It was great. There was legroom. The food I ordered was creative and flavorful. The crew was kind and fun. Definitely would fly with them again.

We were in first class. Food was surprisingly good. Boarding was easy. Seats were lumpy. No video screen ...really? Service was good. Phone support was good

This route with Delta always has delays or is cancelled. Aircrafts seem smaller and older. I fly Delta quite a bit - haven’t had issues with the international flights. But this route has always been the troublesome one

I believe that a four-hour trip should have a meal. Delta had none.

Was charged for my luggage despite having been on one ticket from an international flight. Too tired to argue after 15 hours on flight. Was charged for rechecking it at JFK airport. Not sure why those off Kenya Airways were required to do that.

Flight was canceled, and no effort was made to help with rebooking, no hotel vouchers, no car transportation and minimal food voucher and most places for food were closed by the time the voucher was given. Waited for 3 hours for bags. Simply the worst travel experience I have ever had

At first, we were on the runway for about an hour, literally. The Captain did explain that the Control Tower just had a change shift (sounds like an unrealistic excuse) and then that we had to change a runway. A regular economy seat is made for 12 yo twiggy. I understand Delta wants to push for an upgrade, but after sitting in a Comfort seat and in First class. I would say First class is not worthy of my money. The landing was delayed because of the weather in NYC, I don't hold that against Delta, of course. The Captain did alert us to that upon takeoff in Vegas and again as we reached NY.

Not a "Delta" issue, but a JFK issue: We booked a connecting flight with 3 1/2 hours between to clearn immigration and customs. Our inbound flight (BCN to JFK) was on the taxiway 45 minutes which ate into our layover time. Immigtration was insanely quick with the CBP MPC app; however, clearing TSA (again, after we were ALREADY cleared in Spain on the inbound international flight) took over 95 minutes. This left us with 10 minutes before boarding the connecting flight (JFK to SAN) to walk to the far end of Terminal 4 and try to find food. We didn't find any food that could promise to serve us in under 10 minutes so we boarded the Delta flight after coming off a plance and an 8-hour flight knowing that we wouldn't be served any food on the next 5 1/2 hour flight. I feel like Delta needs to put pressure on the JFK TSA to open more screening stations (by our count, we saw only 5 scanners open and a line of - as we said - over 90 minutes. The insult is that we WERE ALREADY SCREENED through TSA, but as you come off one flight into the USA, you have to go through the whole process again. It seems like if you have a connecting flight, there should be a way to pass through immigration and customs without needing to return through TSA.

My flight was 6 pm 6/6. Every hour they delayed it again - air condition issues then no pilot then the crew had worked too many hours and cancelled the flight at 11 pm. Sent customers to NJ a 45 minutes uber ride to a hotel. Had to be back by 5 am for a 7 am flight and again no pilot etc with another three hours of delays.

The entertainment and wifi mostly didn't work on this flight.

Terrible entertainment system - kept freezing and audio kept cutting out. Snacks were mediocre at best for a 5 hour flight.

I am still upset that my bag was lost on a recent trip to Rome ; we were inconvenienced and out €150 Euros ; delta has refused to reimburse us

Had a hard time checking into my flight on my phone because they gave me the wrong confirmation number. Otherwise everything else went well.

First class ticket. They ran out of food and I sat hungry watching the others eat

They we able to seat my companion and I next to each other. Plane’s temperature was very cool. Willl be more prepared on return trip.

All was good and they were able to seat my travel companion next to me. Thank you.

Like the ample leg room. May as well not bother with snacks if it's only a two ounce bag of pretzels. Didn't use the entertainment option. Was there one?

What an amazing flight. I haven’t experienced this level of service in a flight in years. This will be the only way to fly to Hawaii for me in the future.

Kayak sold me a ticket after check in time. Could not check in. Could not get on flight.

Love you guys are so friendly and kind and wonderful

Agents talk too fast over intercom. I know it’s memorized and we’ve all heard it before. Just slow down a little. Stop charging for checked bags. I was pleased to get my bags promptly at each end of my flight.

Everything was great except having to check in at Alaska. That was a surprise and took extra time and effort. Should have been explained somewhere maybe on the HA electronic ticket.

This flight was perfect. No complaints and only the highest regard for the crew and ground staff and how they executed perfectly. I fly a lot with United and would request predictability and transparency in their operations instead of last minute changes.

Survey sent before we actually left. Delay after delay. Now a crew problem.

I love flying with United. Unfortunately, I flew on an older plane with minimal upgraded technology (no Bluetooth functionality or handy charging ports). Otherwise, the flight was great and even arrived early.

They changed my seats after I checked in and I was stressed from the time I saw that information until just before boarding, when the gate attendant fixed it, but it shouldn't have happened. And if it couldn't be prevented, then the people on the phone I spoke with should have done something to help, which they did not, nor did they offer me compensation, just meaningless apologies.

Smooth flight, especially take off and landing, and great crew on board. Really loved the stroopwaffles!

Deplaning was delayed because of Jetbridge equipment issues in MKE, causing an issue on an otherwise great flight.

Not really their fault, but a 4.5 hour delay is pretty brutal

we were delayed going into and out of Newark Airport by 3-4 hours each way. Excuses/reasons given were misleading. Weather was cited at first when there was NO weather issue. Turns out Newark had a shortage of staff and runway construction. United knew this and should have NOT scheduled flights when they know we would be delayed so long. I will avoid United and EWR airport at all cost going forward. Delta never looked so good.

Stewardess spilled orange juice on my clothes/seat no help no apology just threw napkins at me to clean the mess up. Not Happy.

leg space better than expected. two washrooms for one plane isn't enough.

The plane was freezing cold. Asked for a blanket and there were none. Was told twice that the pilots would warm the plane and it never happened Worst experience flying ever

Multiple delays because they screwed up on the crew schedule and had to wait for over an hour for more people to come.

It was good. Basic flight. Drinks only. Pay budget. Get budget and I’m good with that. I want to get where I need to go. Not hard to please. Female First Officer is an absolute bonus for me!

The Wi-Fi was off, the arm rests are hard plastic.

The assistance with the wheel chairs was fabulous. All the people were so very friendly and helpful. I want to thank them all.

We almost missed our return flight. We got to the gate one minute from closing the cabin door, and the agent got us aboard the plane! We are so very grateful!!!!!

I already filled out a survey for this flight. We booked through KAYAK with airfare assist, and airfare assist did not confirm or honor our flight. Therefore, we had to go to a different place with a different travel agency. I tried very hard with airfare assist, They also promoted this on cheapair.com, but it was a bait and switch in both instances.

Boarded flight, issues with the place and had to get off the plane, wait, and then board a different plane at a different gate. This impacted my short trip negatively. A worker died outside of the plane window and we sat there the entire time while they tried to revive him, unsuccessfully, which was traumatic.

The flight there was frustrating but the flight home was very good.

Flight was delayed in phoenix by 1 hour. When Kenny got to minneapolis st paul, Kenny missed his connecting flight to Duluth on Sun country air. Sun country customer service did nothing to help Kenny get home to Duluth. We will not fly with sun country ever again.
