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.

By
Train, Bus or Car
Your choices for travel between Anchorage and Seward are
simple: train, bus, or car. The Alaska Railroad offers daily
train service to Seward departing directly from the domestic
terminal at the airport. Scheduled, daily bus service to
Seward is also available through the Seward Bus Line.
Overwhelmingly though, the most popular and convenient way
to reach Seward is to rent a car, van, or motorhome and
drive the Seward Highway.
Seward is located at the southern end of the Seward
Highway, approx. 125 miles from Anchorage. The trip is
breath-taking and the roadway has federal designation as one
of the nation's scenic byways. The drive takes approximately
2.5 hours and is definitely worth the time spent winding
along Turnagain Arm, past numerous glaciers, up into the
snow-capped mountain passes, through the spruce forests, and
finally back down to the ocean in Seward
