Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is a split-terminal layout with the South Terminal as the main domestic block and the North Terminal set apart to the north, connected only by a heated, covered landside walkway within Anchorage’s main airport complex. The facility runs along the loop road with stacked curb levels: arrivals/baggage on Level 1, departures/ticketing on Level 2, and the Rental Car Center tunnel on Level 0. Navigation hinges on picking the right terminal and level before you exit.
Map Table
| Terminal | Key Airlines | Primary Function | Transfer Mode |

| North Terminal | International/seasonal ops | International processing, overflow | Covered connector walkway, terminal shuttle |
| Level 0 | Rental agencies hub | Rental Car Center access | “Northern Lights Corridor” tunnel |
| Level 2 curb | Uber/Lyft doors 1/3/4/8 | Rideshare pickup | Elevators/escalators from Level 1 |
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport Map Strategy
- Treat “North vs South” as a pre-security choice: the covered connector and shuttle are landside only, so any swap forces exit + re-clear TSA on the destination side.
- Use the East End of the South arrivals hall as the transfer anchor: the connector entrance and terminal-shuttle zone sit by the Alaska Airlines baggage-claim area, not mid-hall.
- Lock in the level before you walk: Rental Car Center access is Level 0 via the tunnel, while Uber/Lyft pickups are Level 2 at doors 1, 3, 4, and 8.
- Budget wrong-way penalties with time bands: the connector walk is minutes, but a wrong-level curb or assumed airside transfer triggers a backtrack plus typical re-screening delays.

The core wayfinding rules at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport stay consistent in 2026: North vs South is a landside decision, the connector requires exiting the secure area, and the biggest wrong-turn penalties come from being on the wrong level for ground transportation. Plan around the vertical stack—Level 0 for rental cars, Level 2 for rideshare—so you don’t lose time backtracking to the correct curb or tunnel.

What is the exact walking distance (yards/meters) from the South Terminal baggage claim to the entrance of the covered connector walkway to the North Terminal?
Walking measures about 150–200 yards (137–182 meters) from the South arrivals baggage-claim hall to the covered connector walkway entrance for the North side. The most repeatable reference point is the central baggage-claim area around Carousel 4, then continuing east along the hall to the corridor that leads toward the railroad-depot connector.
| Start point | End point | Map-measured distance |
|---|---|---|
| Carousel 4 area (South arrivals hall) | Connector hallway at the far East End | ~150–200 yd (~137–182 m) |
What is the exact location (level + nearest landmark/door) of the South Terminal side entrance to the North–South connector walkway?
The South-side entrance to the North–South connector walkway is on Level 1 at the extreme East End of the South arrivals/baggage-claim hall, beside the Alaska Airlines baggage-claim area. The closest anchors are Baggage Claim 1 and Baggage Claim 2, with the corridor continuing past the Alaska Airlines baggage service office toward the railroad-depot connector.
- Level 1 (Arrivals/Baggage Claim), far East End
- Adjacent to Baggage Claim 1 and Baggage Claim 2 (Alaska Airlines area)
- Corridor extends past the Alaska Airlines baggage service office toward the connector walkway
Where is the shuttle stop boarding point for the Terminal-to-Terminal shuttle at the South Terminal (exact curb/zone/door on a map)?
The Terminal-to-Terminal shuttle boards at the South arrivals curb on Level 1 near Doors 1 and 2 at the East End. The stop is on the commercial curbside zone (not the private pickup flow), clustered in the same east-end sector as the covered connector so passengers don’t have to cross the entire frontage road to find it.
- Level 1 curb (Arrivals)
- East End, by Doors 1 and 2
- Commercial curb/vehicle lane with “Terminal Shuttle” signage (blue/white), separate from Park Ride & Fly and hotel-shuttle markers
What is the exact walking distance from the South Terminal TSA checkpoint exit to the closest gate node (first major gate cluster) in the South Terminal concourses?
Walking measures about 50–75 yards (45–68 meters) from the TSA recomposure area to the first gate node at Concourse C, starting at the checkpoint exit. The nearest “first major cluster” is the Concourse C entry area, with Gate C1 acting as the closest anchor point just ahead/slightly right from the central post-security flow.
| Start point | End point | Map-measured distance |
|---|---|---|
| TSA recomposure area (post-screening) | Gate C1 / Concourse C first node | ~50–75 yd (~45–68 m) |
From the North Terminal arrival area, what is the exact map route to reach the South check-in/security area using the connector walkway (include turns/level changes)?
The connector walkway is landside only, so you must be in the public arrivals lobby of the North side before crossing to South check-in and TSA. The route runs from North Terminal Level 1 through the heated covered connector into the South arrivals hall near Baggage Claim 1/2, then up to Level 2 for ticketing and the central TSA checkpoint.
| Step | Node-to-node route (with anchors) | Level change |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | North arrivals lobby → follow signs for the terminal connector/walkway toward the interior corridor | Stay Level 1 |
| 2 | Connector corridor → enter the covered, heated walkway heading toward the South building | Stay Level 1 |
| 3 | Walkway exit → South arrivals hall at the far East End, by Baggage Claim 1/2 (Alaska Airlines area) | Stay Level 1 |
| 4 | Baggage Claim 1/2 area → locate the nearest elevator/escalator bank signed for ticketing/security | Up to Level 2 |
| 5 | Level 2 ticketing hall → proceed to the central TSA checkpoint entrance (main screening queue area) | Stay Level 2 |
What is the exact location (level + entry point) to access the Rental Car Center tunnel from inside the South Terminal?
The Rental Car Center tunnel is accessed only from Level 0 inside the South building, not from the arrivals curb. The entry point is reached by staying indoors in the Level 1 baggage-claim hall and taking an elevator or escalator down one level to Level 0, then following “Rental Cars/Parking” signs to the “Northern Lights Corridor” tunnel entrance.
- Level 0 (sub-level), inside the South building
- Access via interior elevators/escalators from the Level 1 baggage-claim hall (central banks near the mid-hall carousel area work best)
- Follow “Rental Cars/Parking” to the “Northern Lights Corridor” tunnel entrance (do not exit to the Level 1 curb)
What is the exact measured length of the South → Rental Car Center tunnel (map-measured distance)?
Walking through the South-to–Rental Car Center tunnel measures about 100 yards (91 meters) along the “Northern Lights Corridor.” The distance runs from the Level 0 tunnel mouth on the South side to the point where the corridor opens into the Rental Car Center/garage lobby with the consolidated rental counters.
| Start point | End point | Map-measured distance |
|---|---|---|
| South side tunnel entrance (Level 0) | Rental Car Center lobby entrance | ~100 yd (~91 m) |
What is the exact rideshare pickup point at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (terminal, level, and door/zone) as shown on an official pickup map?
Rideshare pickup is on the South side departures curb on Level 2 at Doors 1, 3, 4, and 8. Arriving passengers who wait on the Level 1 baggage-claim curb won’t meet their driver because Uber/Lyft staging and geofenced pickup are on the upper deck by ticketing.
- Level 2 (Departures/Ticketing curb), South side frontage
- Door 1 (East End, Alaska Airlines ticketing side)
- Door 3 (mid-east departures curb)
- Door 4 (central departures curb)
- Door 8 (West End, Delta/United ticketing side)
What is the exact map distance from baggage claim to the rideshare pickup curb (fastest legal pedestrian route)?
Waiting on Level 1 won’t work—rideshare pickup is on Level 2, so the fastest legal route is an indoor climb to the departures curb before you go outside. The typical end-to-end walk runs about 3–5 minutes, driven mostly by how quickly you reach an elevator/escalator bank and which Level 2 door (1, 3, 4, or 8) your app assigns.
| Step | Fastest legal pedestrian route (with anchors) | Typical time band |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Baggage claim hall (Level 1) → nearest interior elevator/escalator bank signed for ticketing/departures | ~1–2 min |
| 2 | Go up to Level 2 (Departures/Ticketing) → emerge near ticketing counters | ~1 min |
| 3 | Walk along Level 2 to your assigned pickup door (1, 3, 4, or 8) → exit to the rideshare curb | ~1–2 min |
Where is the Park, Ride & Fly Lot shuttle boarding location at the South (exact curb/door/zone on the airport transport map)?
The Park, Ride & Fly shuttle boards at the South arrivals curb on Level 1 across from Door 4 in the commercial vehicle lane. The stop is not at the rideshare level and not grouped with hotel shuttles, so standing at the wrong door often results in the driver passing without stopping in heavy curb traffic.
- Level 1 (Arrivals curb), South side
- Across from Door 4
- Commercial vehicle lane/marked shuttle zone (distinct from hotel-shuttle staging near Door 6)
