Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Los Angeles to Anchorage cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.
Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.
Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.
The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flying from Los Angeles to Anchorage.
What is the typical flight duration from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
Flights from Los Angeles to Anchorage cover about 2,340 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is about 5 hours and 23 minutes outbound, with the return leg at about 5 hours and 21 minutes, a difference of just two minutes.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.
Are there any direct flights from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
Alaska Airlines flies non-stop from Los Angeles to Anchorage, with 14 weekly flights operating daily. Two departures run each day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Alaska Airlines is the only carrier currently scheduled non-stop on this route.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
What are the ground transportation options in Anchorage?
Anchorage offers a solid mix of ground transportation from Ted Stevens International Airport to the city center. The People Mover public bus is the most used and cheapest option at just $2 per ride, with Route 40 connecting the airport to downtown every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes evenings and weekends. Taxis are available 24/7 and take about 15–20 minutes to downtown, while Uber and Lyft have designated pickup zones at both terminals and typically cost around $18. Car rentals are available at the airport's rental car facility, and many hotels offer free shuttle service. The taxi or rideshare is the fastest door-to-door option, but the bus is the clear favorite for budget-conscious travelers.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
Fares from Los Angeles to Anchorage are lowest in late January, around $513. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $523, followed by February ($541) and October ($550). July is the most expensive month at about $672, and fares peak in late June at about $683. The yearly average is $591. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.
How far in advance should I book tickets from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
Book about 6 weeks before departure for the best fares from Los Angeles to Anchorage, around $538. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $895, $357 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $811. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.
Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Los Angeles to Anchorage, but connecting overnight itineraries do operate via Seattle on Alaska Airlines. The overnight leg departs Seattle between roughly 9:59 PM and 10:55 PM and lands in Anchorage just after midnight, at 12:48 AM or 1:39 AM. These connect in Seattle, typically off Alaska Airlines flights from Los Angeles.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.
Which airlines usually operate this route from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
Alaska Airlines operates the nonstop route from Los Angeles to Anchorage, with two daily departures — one in the morning and one in the evening — totaling 14 weekly flights. It is a member of the oneworld alliance.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
How reliable are on‑time arrivals on this route from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
Alaska Airlines lands on time 86.8% of the time at Anchorage, with no cancellations, making it the most reliable carrier on this route from Los Angeles.
Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).
Which airport should I use in Anchorage?
Anchorage has one main commercial airport, Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, located about 6 miles southwest of downtown. It serves all scheduled passenger flights for the city.
How do I get to Los Angeles Intl Airport from the city center?
From downtown Los Angeles, the LAX FlyAway bus from Union Station is the most popular and direct option, running every 15 to 20 minutes and taking roughly 45 to 60 minutes for a flat fare under $10. Metro Rail's C or K Line to the LAX/Metro Transit Center followed by a free airport shuttle is the cheapest public transit route, though it takes a bit longer and requires a transfer. Taxis and ride-shares like Uber or Lyft offer door-to-door convenience and are fastest in light traffic, but cost significantly more and can be slowed by terminal congestion. Driving yourself means dealing with parking fees and the airport's infamously busy loop, so most travelers avoid it unless they need a car at the other end.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Los Angeles to Anchorage?
Alaska Airlines operates the nonstop service from Los Angeles to Anchorage, flying Boeing 737 family aircraft exclusively on this route. They are currently the only airline scheduled nonstop between the two cities, with daily departures.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Methodology
