Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport North Terminal Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport’s North Terminal is a compact, three-level passenger building set slightly apart from the main South Terminal across a ravine, with an elevated enclosed connector bridging the gap. The public-facing footprint is smaller and simpler than the domestic complex, with most movement concentrated on Level 1 (CBP, baggage claim, curb doors) and Level 2 (departure gates). Within Anchorage’s main airport complex, the North Terminal sits on the north side of the terminal loop, oriented toward the connector at its southeast corner.
Map Table
| Level | Primary Function | Connector Access | Key Doors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | CBP, baggage claim, public lobby | Southeast corner corridor | Door 2 rideshare/taxi, Door 3 terminal/RCC shuttle |
| Level 2 | TSA screening, gates N1–N8 | No airside link | North Terminal checkpoint area |
| Level 3 | lounges, offices | none | mezzanine access |
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport North Terminal Map Strategy
- Wrong-terminal risk is real: North ↔ South transfers are not airside, so assume the connector is outside TSA and budget time to re-clear security in the South Terminal.
- Use the shortest connector route from Level 1: from baggage claim/CBP exit flow, aim for the southeast corner corridor signed “To South Terminal,” then stay on the enclosed walkway to South Terminal baggage claim (near Baggage Claim 1).
- If the walk feels too long or you have heavy bags, use the on-demand shuttle plan: the wall phone sits by the connector hallway near the southeast end; pickup is outside at Door 3.
- Treat North Terminal TSA as “only when scheduled”: for most domestic airlines and consistent screening access, route yourself to South Terminal ticketing and the main checkpoint after reaching the connector exit.

North Terminal wayfinding in 2026 still hinges on a landside-only connection to the South Terminal: the enclosed connector is outside TSA, so terminal changes require staying in public areas and re-clearing security if you need South Terminal gates. North Terminal screening and “open” feel can be schedule-dependent, so plan as if South Terminal is the services base for check-in, concessions, and domestic departures.

What is the exact walking distance (feet/meters) from North Terminal baggage claim to the South Terminal baggage-claim entry point via the enclosed connector?
The walking distance is approximately 500 feet (152 meters) from North Terminal baggage claim to the South Terminal baggage-claim entry point using the enclosed connector. This total includes the indoor approach from the North Terminal baggage-claim area to the connector threshold, the bridge segment itself, and the final indoor approach to the South Terminal baggage-claim entry point near the northeast side of baggage claim.
| Segment | Start → End (landmark triangulation) | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| North Terminal approach | Baggage claim area → connector corridor at the southeast corner | Remainder to total |
| Enclosed bridge portion | Connector span over the ravine | ~300 ft (91 m) |
| South Terminal approach | Connector threshold → baggage-claim entry area (near Baggage Claim 1 zone) | Remainder to total |
| Total (map-verified) | North baggage claim → South baggage-claim entry point | ~500 ft (152 m) |
Where is the North Terminal entrance to the enclosed connector walkway (exact level + nearest landmark)?
The North Terminal connector entrance is on Level 1 (baggage claim/CBP level) at the southeast corner of the terminal. The closest consistent landmark is the baggage claim area, with the corridor to the connector positioned near the visitor information desk and the “To South Terminal” wayfinding signs, funneling foot traffic toward the southeast end of the public lobby.
Where does the enclosed connector exit into the South Terminal (exact door/area name on the map)?
The enclosed connector exits into the South Terminal on Level 1 in the northeast section of the baggage claim area, placing you nearest the Baggage Claim 1 zone. From this threshold, the closest curbside reference is Door 5, which is immediately downstairs and to the left when orienting from the connector opening into South Terminal baggage claim.
What is the exact walking time range (minutes) for the connector route at normal pace (map-measured distance → time)?
Walking takes about 8 to 12 minutes at a normal pace for the North Terminal Level 1 baggage-claim-to–South Terminal Level 1 baggage-claim connector route. The enclosed corridor includes the bridge span plus indoor approach segments at both ends, and the incline from North to South can slow travelers with roller bags.
| Pace / condition | Route reference point | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Normal pace, unencumbered | North baggage claim → connector → South baggage claim (near Baggage Claim 1) | 8–12 min |
| Slower pace, kids/heavy luggage | Same endpoints | 15–20 min |
Where is the wall phone / call point used to request the terminal shuttle in the North Terminal (exact location on the map)?
The shuttle call point is a wall-mounted phone on Level 1 in the North Terminal, positioned adjacent to the Terminal Connector hallway near the southeast end exit door. It sits just inside the terminal by the corridor that leads into the enclosed connector, and the associated shuttle pickup location is outside at Door 3.
Where is the South Terminal rental-car counter area relative to the connector exit (shortest indoor route on the map)?
The rental-car counters are reached by going from the connector’s South Terminal exit into baggage claim, then using the central escalators/elevators to go down to Level 0 and following the signed “Rental Cars” pedestrian tunnel into the Consolidated Rental Car Center. The shortest indoor path runs from the connector threshold near the Baggage Claim 1 area to the central vertical circulation node, then through the subterranean tunnel that leads directly into the RCC facility.
What is the shortest map-verified route from North Terminal arrivals curb to the South Terminal airline check-in counters (no backtracking)?
The shortest route is from the North Terminal arrivals curb into the Level 1 lobby, then straight to the southeast corner connector corridor and across to the South Terminal, then up to Level 2 ticketing. This avoids circling the curbside doors and keeps you on the direct connector line.
| Step | Landmark-to-landmark route | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arrivals curb → enter North Terminal public lobby | North L1 |
| 2 | Lobby → southeast corner corridor signed “To South Terminal” | North L1 |
| 3 | Enter enclosed connector → walk to South Terminal baggage claim entry | Connector / South L1 |
| 4 | Baggage claim → central escalators/elevators → ticketing/check-in counters | South L2 |
Where is the closest TSA checkpoint to the connector’s South Terminal exit (exact position and approach path on the map)?
The closest TSA checkpoint is the South Terminal’s main screening checkpoint on Level 2, reached by going from the connector exit into South Terminal Level 1 baggage claim and then taking the central escalators or elevators up to departures/ticketing. The approach path runs from the connector threshold near the Baggage Claim 1 area → straight to the central vertical circulation core → up to Level 2 → follow “Security/TSA” signage to the centralized checkpoint that feeds Concourses A, B, and C.
Where is the North Terminal pickup curb (exact door/zone) that rideshare/vehicle pickups use, relative to the connector entrance?
Rideshare and most vehicle pickups use the North Terminal curb at Door 2, positioned on Level 1 and distinct from the connector corridor at the southeast corner. From the connector entrance area inside the terminal, you route back through the Level 1 public lobby toward the Door 2 curb zone, which is also the primary reference point for taxis (outside Door 2) while the airport/RCC shuttle loads separately at Door 3.
What is the exact distance from North Terminal parking / north lot pedestrian entry to the connector entrance (feet/meters)?
The walking distance is approximately 900 to 1,000 feet (about 274 to 305 meters) from the North Lot pedestrian entry area to the enclosed connector entrance. This total combines the short walk from the lot to the terminal lobby doors (about 100 feet) plus the interior walk across Level 1 through the lobby to the southeast corner corridor where the connector begins.
Where is the customs exit flow in the North Terminal relative to the connector corridor (does the map force an out-and-around loop)?
The customs exit flow leads directly toward the Level 1 public lobby that contains the connector corridor, with no forced out-and-around loop. After CBP processing and baggage reclaim, passengers exit through a “Customs Exit Only” door that naturally funnels into the landside area aligned with the southeast-corner path to the “To South Terminal” connector corridor.
