We will be cruising on the Summit on Aug. 2005 and will be flying from Cleveland to Anchorage. Our flighjt is being arranged by Celebrity via out TA. Can anyone relate their experience flying from the east coast to Anchorage? The amount of time it takes, etc. Thank you!!

It's a long flight and a killer day. The flight travel time will be 9 hours or more. Once you get to Alaska, you must get your luggage and take a 2.5 hour bus to the ship. I used to live in Cleveland. I have done it twice from San Diego which is much closer. My third cruise to Alaska I did a Vancouver round trip. I will never cruise one way again.

Thanks for the information. We will be in Anchorage to start the land part of the cruise on Aug.12, then sailing on the 19th from Seward. Once again, thank you!

The 2.5 hour is from Anchorage. If you do land thing or stay in Anchorage first, that long ride is the day you board the ship. By the way, some of the ships are starting to do Whittier which is much closer.

As to your flight, it depends on what arrangements your TA/Agency makes for you. Direct, connect, layover, etc. No way around it. Long ways up there.
