Flying from Fairbanks to Seattle

[Mumsysailor]

At the end of our cruise tour we're flying from Fairbanks to Seattle. I know 'technically' this is a domestic flight. Is the check-in as for a normal domestic flight? Just want to make sure we allow enough time.

Fairbanks is a small airport, but with a cruisetour dumping, I would allow 90 minutes, to give yourself some extra time.

Thanks Budget Queen. We're actually staying on an extra night after the cruise tour ends but we'll still allow plenty of time to check in.

Cruisetours, just about "end" every day in Fairbanks.

Yes, during the season multiple cruise tours may dump passengers at the airport in Fairbanks so a safe arrival time is a really good idea. Some people travel with an incredible amount of stuff and both baggage check in and the TSA clearance can be slowed down due to all that......misc.

 

All you need is a passenger ahead of you in line who has overweight bags to check in and is arguing about it and the parade slows down.

 

Remember to put Ulus (Alaska chopping knives) into your checked bags.
