ALASKA AIRLINES

As the economic capital, Anchorage is the city with the most domestic flights to the various regions of the state. And what a vast country! The plane is sometimes essential for long distance travel. Alaska Airlines serves most of the state's airports (Juneau, Fairbanks, Ketchikan, Nome, etc.) as well as Seattle and Portland. Convenient if you want to hop around the country on a local airline, domestic flights cheaper than private charters.
