2010年5月底-6月初和朋友一起去阿拉斯加自驾游。用国航机票换了北京-旧金山往返机票,在阿拉斯加航空公司网站购买了旧金山-阿拉斯加的往返机票(经停波特兰-免税州,去奥特莱斯购物), 阿拉斯加也是免税的州
之前读了很多游记,对我非常有帮助的几点:
1。 去阿拉斯加建议购买Alaska Saver's Coupon (会省很多钱,酒店多为买一晚赠一晚,一些游览项目是买一人赠一人,但是要定的早)
2。 我是5月底,6月初去的,赶在阿拉斯加邮轮的旺季开始之前,人不会非常多
3。 如果在非旺季去阿拉斯加,而且选择自驾游览,如果行程中有涉及水路的地方,在制定路线之前关注一下轮船的时间,非旺季时不是天天开船,所以可能驾车行驶会绕路,不过景色还是不错的
4。 去Denali国家森林公园可以考虑提前在网上订票,票和乘坐游览车的出发时间有保证
