Traveller Comments....
"I've slept in Fairbanks International. No problems--in fact, the Air North folks actually recommended it, saying 'everyone does it'." - Craig
"The folks in the office will even give you a little kit with a toothbrush, etc. if your pack didn't arrive on the same plane as you." - Philip

This is a beautiful new airport and when we checked our bags in at about 8pm we had a 6 hour wait for our flight out. We'd been in alaska for a few weeks and were very tired from the near round the clock daylight that summer offers here.
I actually asked at check in where we can try and get some quiet rest. You can try upstairs at the departures terminal but this is busy with lots of people waiting for their flights. The best bet is down from check in at the arrivals terminal. Just look for the big stuffed grizzly bear and wolf and go to the back dark corner.
There are 3 options for sleeping - 1. on the floor; 2. on the 4 seater comfy padded chairs - no arm rests across 4 seats; 3. on the very long but unpadded wooden benches.
The coffee shop upstairs closes around 9ish and the "bar" and bookshop did not close while we were there.
The last review for this airport was in 2009. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
