Shuttle from Airport Heights to the Palmer Depot

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.

Travel Note

Airbnb or VRBO

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