Getting to Seward Alaska
Getting to Seward, Alaska is much easier than you might think. Seward is one of the quickest and
easiest fishing destinations to reach within Alaska. Unless you will be arriving by cruise ship or
driving the Alaska/Canada Highway your trip will likely include a flight into Anchorage -
Alaska's largest city. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is served from numerous
cities around the U.S. by most major airlines including Delta, Northwest, United, Continental,
America West, and Alaska. Once you arrive in Anchorage you have a few options for travel to Seward.
