_Time_: Expect and plan for crowds in the South Terminal especially from midnight to 2 a.m.; they coincide with red-eye flights to the Lower 48. - _Quiet_: The North Terminal, when operational, offers a calm space with fewer people and superb views of aviation activity. - _Local_: Lake Hood presents a great opportunity for plane spotting; it’s accessible via a short walk from the airport. - _Money_: Budget travelers should consider the People Mover Route 40 bus for an economical trip to downtown. - _Avoid_: Concessions shrink outside of summer peaks; don't expect late-night dining or shopping to be available in the shoulder season. - _Quiet_: The downstairs tunnel to the parking garage is an unexpectedly peaceful spot for a phone call away from terminal activity. ## Travellers notes mentioning ANC -
