Find a cheap flight to Alaska

For the ultimate adventurer who yearns to walk on virgin land, see wildlife like nowhere else, trek around volcano edges and picnic on the edge of glaciers, Alaska is the perfect destination. The largest state by area in the United States, Alaska lies on the northwestern tip of the North American continent. With Canada bordering to its east, it cuts right out into the bitter Arctic Ocean to the north with the Pacific Ocean lapping at its shoreline in the south and west. Reaching into the eastern hemisphere, Russia is only a handshake away on the other side of the Bering Strait, with Russian and Alaskan islands only three miles apart. The majority of the Alaskan population resides in Anchorage and the surrounding area. Anchorage is Alaska's largest city and gateway into this amazing state. Situated in southcentral Alaska between Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains, this modern and spectacular city has much to offer year round from Fur Rendezvous in mid to late February, the great Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in early March, a smattering of long awaited summer events including solstice celebrations and other festivities, ending the year with Alaska's college basketball tournament. Although urban, Anchorage sits right on the door step of Alaska's wilderness with migrating salmon in its streams and bears, moose and wolves roaming in nearby forests.

Whilst visiting Alaska, be engrossed in its variety of volcanoes including Mount Shishaldin which is considered to have the most perfect volcanic cone in the world, its incredible three million plus lakes, wetlands with permafrost cover, over half the world's glaciers including the renowned Bering Glacier, immaculate forests and huge wildlife sanctuaries. Activities include trekking, rock-climbing, outdoor photography, dog sledding and more.
