Shuttle Service Highlight
If you’re heading from Wasilla, Alaska to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) or vice versa, here’s a strong option:
- The route offered by Epic Alaska Tours: from Wasilla to the airport (and back) via a set pickup point at 3100 E Parks Hwy, Wasilla, AK 99654.
- Ideal in winter when road conditions and parking can slow you down.
- It gives you a fixed route, less stress, and you avoid airport-parking hassle.
Why It Works & What to Consider
Why this service matters:
- Winter driving in the Anchorage-Mat-Su region can be challenging with heavy snow, ice, shorter daylight hours.
- A shuttle means one less thing to worry about: no need to drive, park, or navigate unfamiliar roads while tired.
- Ski Brews, the pickup spot in Wasilla is known, making timing simpler. Ski Brews is located at 3100 E Parks Hwy. 1-907-671-4428
What to check before booking:
- Confirm the pickup time and ensure it aligns with your flight.
- If arriving late/early, check if the shuttle accommodates off-hours.
- Confirm luggage limits, especially if you’re carrying ski gear or large bags.
- For return trips (Airport to Wasilla), book ahead so you’re not left waiting.
