Small small small airport. You deplane onto the runway and walk into a tiny airport building where TSA is snuggled up next to baggage claim. And if you don't see your bag just ask the bag handlers - they talk to you while putting bags onto the belt. It's small. It's also just a mile into town. You can rent a car or call a cab or you can just walk the mile. In fact on our quick walk to town, 3 people stopped to ask if we wanted a ride. read more

Another tiny Alaskan airport. Super friendly people including the total stranger who offered me a ride into town. Upon asking him if it was on his way, he said everything is on the way in Wrangell. There was a large doe (deer) walking up the road when I exited the airport. Can't beat that. Gorgeous views. Most of these little airports look very similar and make up the 'milk runs' for Alaskan Airways. If you are ever in the area, down town Wrangell is a pleasant street of shops and a couple of restaurants. Have lunch at Stikine Inn and star out at the water and mountains while you enjoy a meal or just a cup of coffee at the coffee stand in the lobby. read more

The staff was very nice. I liked how thorough they were with security. My travel partner accidentally had a souvenir pocket knife in her carry on and rather then toss it they actually ran out and put it in her bag that was already checked and loaded on the plane. Very nice of them. They deff would not be doing that at PDX =) The flight attendant on our flight was a bit of a smart a$$ but the free adult beverage made up for it! read more
