If you're visiting Juneau, the hike to Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls is an absolute must. The…read moreviews are breathtaking from start to finish, and seeing the glacier up close with Nugget Falls cascading beside it is something you won't forget. Money-saving tip: Skip the expensive excursions and take the Juneau Capital Transit bus from downtown to Dredge Lake Rd., which is the closest bus stop to Mendenhall. From there, it's about a 1.7-mile walk to the Visitor Center, followed by an easy 1.5-mile hike to Nugget Falls. The trail is well maintained and suitable for most people. The bus costs just $2 each way. Be sure to bring exact change or download the Token Transit app from the App Store to pay your fare. The bus system was easy to navigate, and we had no trouble figuring it out. In my opinion, this is one of the best values in Juneau. You get the same incredible glacier views and unforgettable experience that many people pay hundreds of dollars for on organized excursions. If you're comfortable walking a few miles, this is absolutely the way to do it!

Visitor center has an elevator to the 2nd floor that provides insight, views, and toilets. If in Juneau via a cruise ship you can access the park via both shore excursions and tour operators. No real complications on May 5, on that clear dry day, though 5 cruise ships were in port making the park entrance busy with both tourists and transports. It was a nice way to see a glacier, but the initial park area was crowded, so do not expect to escape from the bustle of tourists unless you explore deeper into the park.

The scam is to get you to pay upfront. In our case in January 2023 for a July 2023 excursion. Then, the evening before the trip you'll get a text and email stating the trip is cancelled because they failed a US Coast Guard inspection. They probably don't realize, in my opinion, that they have not only committed local transactional related fraud but because they used email and text as a tool to complete the fraud across state lines, they have now committed federal wire fraud. And, I spoke to them on the phone and I kept my call history. Federal crime! Tisk tisk. "Here's Johnie."

Our guides were awesome too and didn't make the pace too fast so that all ages in our tour group could participate. Their knowledge about the Glacier and being able to answer questions makes them true professionals. The only thing I noticed is that they don't require a sterile environment when landing back at base as our guides were chatting when we were coming in. The pilot could have pushed ICS, but as much as they push safety, I feel like this is a huge safety item.

I recently flew with Alaska Airlines for the very first time!…read moreAnd what's weird is...I have completed a lot of traveling and exploring around Alaska (all with local/regional/carriers on propeller planes), yet finally, I had the opportunity to fly ALK. I took their once a day afternoon flight from here in Juneau (JNU) to Gustavus/Glacier Bay (GST). When I looked up fares online...it was pretty basic... It was the same flights, same times, same prices. $108.50 each way = $217 in total. JNU 4:03pm --- GST 4:40pm GST 5:40pm --- JNU 6:12pm With the final total of $217, I got to choose my own seat for both routes without having to pay any extras. I was able to simply pick my seat at the end of the online booking process. Again, included in the $217, I was able to bring a carryon bag and place it in the overhead compartment of the Boeing 737 Jet. No fee for this. And then, I placed my bookbag underneath the seat. I don't know if Alaska Air charges for checking in luggage? I didn't have a large suitcase, so I don't really know. I also liked how simple the booking process was on Alaska Air's website. I downloaded the Alaska Air App and appreciated how I was able to check-in for my flight 24 hours in advance without having to create a username and passcode like I've been forced to with other airlines. In the end...I'm not from Alaska, and they don't really cater to routes where I'm from in South Florida...so it was nice to be able to just check-in as a guest without any hassles. Stepping back just a moment... From Juneau Airport, it's pretty much all Alaska Airline routes. Obviously, Alaska would dominate the capitol city here in Juneau. I noticed inside the airport there was a small check-in counter for Delta, though I didn't see any departures or arrivals for them on the overhead board. It was all Alaska Air. I did observe 2 small seaplane carriers with passengers waiting in front of their ticket counters. I didn't catch the names though. While waiting at Gate #2 passing through security...I saw Alaska Air had all 6 of the Juneau Airport departure gates. There's a small seating area with enough spots to accommodate people. Towards the left hand side was a small food cafe. Another little extra...whenever I fly an airline for the first time, (although they rarely carry them anymore), I always ask for those little souvenir "wings" that they sometimes or at least used to carry around. Lol, I have a pair of wings from almost every airline. I asked the gate agents and flight attendants on both routes if they had a pair to spare and unfortunately they didn't. But...everyone I inquired with was very considerate, and smiled to me knowing those wings are cool little keepsakes and...they all happily searched for extras. So, no problem, it wasn't meant to be, but I appreciated their efforts. Finally, I had no issues with either of my flights. Granted...this Juneau to Gustavus route was literally...20 minutes flying time in each direction...so what could really have gone so badly, lol? In the end, I was happy for Alaska Airlines to be part of my National Parks journey to Glacier Bay, my 62nd NP overall. I am grateful I finally got to experience them after all these years.

I wouldn't take this airline on a regular basis, but since this is the only option that gets me out of Alaska guess I have to. Several times, they have made unplanned stops that aren't listed on the itinerary but the ones you find out about as you're boarding the plane. Thanks for making me an hour late to Seattle, even if I was only spending the night there. And there's really no way to change your flight reservation once it's been made without being too costly, unless you fake your own death... good luck with that. Southwest, please expand your service soon to Alaska!

Our flight into Juneau was scheduled to arrive late and then was further delayed, meaning we would arrive after Alamo had closed for the evening. Having visited Juneau before, we knew transportation options would be very limited at that hour. Since we were traveling with a baby, we were especially concerned about how we would get to our lodging. I explained our situation to Mark at Alamo, and he went above and beyond to help us. He spoke with his manager, Jacob, who graciously returned after closing time to ensure we received our rental vehicle. Both Mark and Jacob were incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely focused on helping us. Their willingness to accommodate our situation turned what could have been a very stressful experience into a smooth and positive one. We are extremely grateful for their exceptional customer service and commitment to taking care of their customers. We highly recommend Alamo in Juneau and especially want to recognize Mark and Jacob for their outstanding efforts. Thank you both for going the extra mile!

From getting dropped off curbside to dropping off bags at the airline, going through TSA security and finding your gate, it's all a seamless process. I'm so accustomed to giving myself time for all the above that by the time I was finished, I had nearly an hour of wait time at my gate. There is a small gift shop on the main level. I don't recall seeing food or coffee options. They may have had these. I just didn't take notice or remember seeing either options. Airlines staff were friendly and personable. What I enjoy the most about this airport is that it doesn't have the drama and over abundance of people that other major airports do. Also, downtown is about a 15-20 minute drive from the airport. Uber, Lyft and taxi services are available to get you to your destination. Again, since Juneau is such a smaller airport, getting in and out is very seamless. Something to keep in mind is that you will most likely have a layover in another airport prior to arriving at your destination. I don't see this airport being a hub. As for me, I flew direct to Anchorage then hopped on another flight direct to Denver. Overall, I was impressed. I plan on visiting Juneau again so I'm looking forward to using this airport another time. I may even use it more often after possibly becoming a Juneau/Douglas resident.
