Top tips for finding cheap flights to Alaska

  • Alaska is the largest state in the U.S. It’s about 20% of the size of the 48 states in the continental U.S. Because of this, you will have many options when you’re trying to pick an airport to fly to in Alaska. Fairbanks International Airport (FAI), Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), and Juneau International Airport (JNU) are a few. You will need to select the airport closest to your final destination, and you’ll also need to pick the right airline to bring you from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Alaska, as Alaska Airlines, Delta, and United Airlines will all be on the table.
  • Many of the flights from Vancouver to Alaska will make at least one stop, if not two or three stops. However, you may also have the option to fly directly from Vancouver to Alaska, depending on which airline you choose. Direct flights tend to be few and far between, though, so you will need to look hard for them.
  • To make sure you don’t miss a flight from Vancouver International Airport to Alaska, you will need to plan to arrive at YVR at least two to three hours before your flight to ensure there’s time to get through security. When you arrive, you can kill any extra time in one of the airport’s lounges. The Plaza Premium Lounge is one option that is open to all passengers.
  • If you plan to spend at least a few weeks in Alaska after flying to the state from Vancouver, you might need to check a bag for your trip. But if you can, you should try to steer clear of checking bags, because many airlines like Alaska Air and Delta will charge you around $30 to check one bag and about $50 to check a second one.
  • If you’re lucky enough to land on a direct flight from Vancouver to Alaska, you might not mind sitting in something other than first class. Your flight will, after all, only last for about three hours. But if you have to catch connecting flights on your way to Alaska, you might want to upgrade at least one leg of your travel to first class. Securing a first-class seat through an airline like United Airlines will earn you more legroom, dining options, and entertainment on your flight.

I am ina wheelchair and the gate agent knew exactly what to do when boarding just the the one of the flight attendants

The ac must have died, it was way to hot on this flight. Boarding g was chaotic. The flight was delayed for boarding. Not a great experience.

20 year old 737 but really poor service from the flight attendants who must have been new.

Round trip flight to Canada and back to the US was smooth and efficient.

It was beautiful easy and smooth experience. Thank you. Will definitely get Delta for my next travel.

After I checked in, I realized we had no seat assignment. It said they would be assigned at the gate. This was really frustrating because I usually use a lounge before flights, but I couldn't because I had to be at the gate to ensure we got our seat assignments. The gate agent arrived an hour before the flight left. I was the first one up to ask about seat assignments. She told us to wait for names to be called. Dozens of other passengers were paged, but we were not. Finally, I asked my husband to ask. He went up and was also told to wait. About 10 minutes later, they called for boarding. We still had not been told our seats. We went back to the desk and they were in a panic, saying we actually weren't on that flight. Then they made an announcement telling the stand by passengers to not board (in case we needed their seats). It was so stressful and unprofessional. Finally they gave us our seats. I have no idea what happened and why the two desk agents seemed to have conflicting ideas about our seats, whether we were on that flight etc.

Delta cancelled my flight less than 24 hours before departure and provided no alternative options. Left me to fend for myself basically. Scrambled to book flight on another airline and paid a fortune to do so last minute.. Can’t wait to see how Delta deals with my refund.

Among the poorest flights I’ve had with Delta in a while. Entertainment system failed completely on a 7.5 hr flight. Crew seemed distracted and not the normal friendly crew. Flight overbooked it seemed… very crowded.

It was a Red-Eye flight so was not comfortable enough to sleep, but seat was as expected. Crew was great and in-flight entertainment was excellent. Flight was smooth

The help at check-in area was excellent! The crew on board was great and the legroom and entertainment is excellent!

We were told every hour that the flight was delayed until finally late in the day the flight was cancelled. We had to wait in line over an hour to finally get another flight. Once on the flight the host was ridiculously incoherent in the loudspeaker in flight - very inhospitable. Not happy with our experience.

Flight was late from Vancouver to San Francisco but they never announced

Longer lines at Air Canada to check.. could not get my boarding pass online.

If I’m gonna sit in the 39th row You might as well let me on after the first class passengers Especially if I have no luggage for overhead Just a thought

It was great! Very comfortable plane, crew was great, would definitely take this flight again.

Everything was great except that I wasn’t issued a boarding pass for the second flight so they would not let me into customs until I had said boarding pass. Luckily a gate attendant from another Air Canada flight was able to print one for me so I could go through.

I suppose to board the plane AC5110 to San Francisco on July 16 2026 @07:00 am and arrive San Francisco at 09:25 am. At 9:30am still in YVR I was told the plane was delayed until 11:30 am to take off. Not until 11:35am the pilot of the plane declared that due to hydraulic system problem this plane was cancelled. After waited in a long pile up for negotiating with the counter-staff, I finally got the tickets for myself and my wife Yim Mei KONG firstly to Seattle and then transferred to San Francisco on the plane AS 2014 & AS 791 with Alaska Airlines. I suppose to attend the funeral of our friend in San Francisco on July 18 and a Memorial Gathering for the Birthday of the deceased on July 16, 2026. I arrived San Francisco at 9:40 pm that day (12 hours later) and couldn't joint the Memorial Gathering. This upset me a lot. I am seeking for compensation of this failing trip. Please let me know how to and where to forward my complaint.

not able to change flight, no customer service from KAYAK

check in for premium economy very nice. Friendly attendants. Best security video ever. Seriously. That's about it. Not a good bang for the premium economy buck, to be truthful. I had hoped/expected for a little more.
