You must drive slow! I can get from Girdwood to Eagle River in 60 min.
I do the drive a couple times a week. Yes maybe to the actual airport with normal traffic is 45min. Construction traffic can make it longer.

What are good areas to stay in around Anchorage? Should I try

Wouldn’t stay in downtown, it’s getting pretty dicey. South Anchorage is quite nice. As is waterfront.

Girdwood is the best place.

Girdwood is nice, though doubtful you’ll get accommodations there on this short notice this time of year

How far from Anchorage is it? There are some places available there.

It’s not that far. The Spa at Alyeska is nice. Resort ski town. 30-40 min away

Alyeska to Anchorage Airport is 50-60 min without traffic. No way it’s ever 30 min. I’ve driven it many times.

It doesn’t matter. Good luck finding a place this late in the game

There seems to still be decent availability, but maybe the better places are

I’d get a VRBO/airbnb outside of Anchorage like Seward or Palmer

Seward is 2 hours away, so tough to do if you’re going to do stuff in Anchorage.

Agreed. Alaska is best when not in Anchorage

Best part of living in Anchorage was that it was only 15 minutes from Alaska 😅

Go rent bikes from Pete at Downtown Bicycle and ride the coastal trail. Eat at South and Moose’s Tooth.
