Juneau International Airport — Local services in Juneau

Ah, Juneau International Airport—finally finished its grand renovation! Unlike many airports that never seem to finish their renovations, Juneau has managed to complete its transformation, and it’s quite the sight to behold.

The Grand Reveal Walking into the newly renovated terminal, you’re immediately struck by the modern, sleek design. Gone are the days of drab, outdated decor. The new look is fresh, vibrant, and welcoming, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a high-end hotel rather than an airport. The use of natural light is particularly impressive, with large windows allowing the sun to flood in and create a bright, airy atmosphere.

The Passenger Experience The passenger experience has been significantly upgraded. The check-in counters are now more efficient, with additional staff to help speed up the process. The security screening area has been expanded, reducing wait times and making the whole process smoother. The new baggage claim area is spacious and well-organized, ensuring that your luggage arrives promptly and in good condition.

The Amenities The amenities have also received a major upgrade. The food court now boasts a variety of dining options, from fast food to sit-down restaurants, catering to all tastes and budgets. There’s even a coffee shop with freshly brewed coffee and pastries, perfect for a quick pick-me-up before your flight. The seating areas are comfortable and plentiful, with plenty of charging stations for your devices.

The Meeting Rooms For those traveling for business, the new meeting rooms are a game-changer. These versatile spaces can be rented for conferences, meetings, or even small events. They’re equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including high-speed internet and video conferencing capabilities, making them ideal for both local and international meetings.

The Community Impact The renovation has had a positive impact on the local community as well. The airport now serves as a hub for economic activity, attracting more tourists and business travelers to the area. The improved facilities and services make Juneau a more attractive destination, boosting the local economy and creating jobs.

The Future With the renovation complete, the future looks bright for Juneau International Airport. The new terminal is designed to accommodate future growth, with plans for potential expansions already in place. The airport is now better equipped to handle increased passenger traffic and new routes, ensuring that it remains a vital part of the region’s infrastructure.

In conclusion, Juneau International Airport’s grand renovation is a testament to what can be achieved with vision and determination. Unlike many airports that struggle to complete their projects, Juneau has successfully transformed its terminal into a modern, efficient, and welcoming space. It’s a shining example of how to do airport renovations right, and a model for others to follow. Safe travels, and enjoy the new and improved Juneau...

Served primarily by Alaska Airlines & Delta. International flights & other by KLM, Air France, Korean Air & Alaska Seaplane. Nice little airport & very busy. GET THERE EARLY!! Long lines, but they move you through fast. TSA at this airport is a little more "user friendly" than I have found at larger airports. I have found the Alaska Airline personnel at this airport, & others, to be absolutely first class. Always someone willing to help a traveler who is overwhelmed by all the new rules & the electronic sign in, baggage, etc. On the other hand I have found the concessions at this airport to be absolutely THE WORST I have experienced ANYWHERE!! Worse than any 3rd world country I have been in. I fly early so the only place to get a cup of coffee, or anything, is the Tailwind Concessions on the upper floor. These people are TOTALLY INCOMPETENT & are both an embarrassment & an insult. Many, many people stand in line so long that they walk away. This concession needs to be replaced with someone who has a clue what is going on. 20 minutes (or more) to get a cup of drip coffee?? Half an hour (plus) to get a breakfast biscuit?? Are you kidding me?? and not a newspaper to be had anywhere?? who is running this airport? Whoever is in charge needs to up their game? With a class act like Alaska Airlines the main airline, why is the rest of the airport so poorly managed?? The City of Juneau needs to step up to the plate & bring this facility into the 21st Century. It should be something to be proud of, not a...

I'm not sure how airports get their classification but interestingly, this tiny, single building airport, in the middle of nowhere Alaska (actually the state's  capital) is classified as an international Airport.

In any case, Caleb at the Alaska Airlines counter was friendly and efficient.

Service was fast and he was courteous. He verified my identity and confirmed my destination before printing my baggage label and boarding pass.

Going through the TSA checkpoint was the fastest I had ever experienced (that could be attributed to the small airport, arriving an hour before our scheduled departure at 9am on a regular Sunday, and the small number of travelers). In any case, it was fast.

Inside the terminal is Capital City Tavern was the only food/coffee business there and luckily at 9am on a Sunday, it was open. I was able to get a white chocolate mocha (almost $6 for a 12oz) but it was surprisingly delicious.

As the incoming plane landed, the Alaska Airlines flight attendant kept passengers in the terminal updated about the status of their departing flight. The plane arrived, passengers deplaned, then the plane was prepared for departure. Soon afterwards we boarded and was on our way...
