Flight

Flying into Anchorage

Most guests traveling to Alaska will fly into Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) in Anchorage. From there, you’ll find a variety of rental car options, as well as limited rideshare and shuttle services. The wedding will take place in Palmer, Alaska, approximately 50 miles from the airport (about a 1-hour drive). We highly recommend renting a car for the duration of your stay, as it will provide the most flexibility for getting to and from the venue and exploring the area.

For those who prefer a more home-like stay, we recommend checking out Airbnb or VRBO options in Anchorage or Palmer.
