Anchorage to Home

Flight from Anchorage to Newark Airport with a 3-hour stopover in San Francisco

Our flight from Anchorage traced the Inside Passage and provided wonderful views of snow-capped mountains, volcanoes, and remote seaside towns. Flying is still such a novelty for me that I’m one of those passengers that likes to look out the window rather than at the movie. We even had fun eating and shopping during our 3-hour layover in San Francisco.

We had intentionally stayed awake during the first leg of the trip from Alaska to S.F., but had planned to sleep the entire second leg to Newark. Despite the aid of Tylenol PM, none of us was able to fall asleep. I think we were all too worried about flopping down or drooling on the person sitting next to us. Whatever the reason, we arrived back home totally exhausted.
