As the summer travel season nears, prices are rising for airfare and car rentals, writes Alaska travel columnist Scott McMurren.

An Alaska Airlines passenger jet bound for Seattle departs from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport on Sunday, April 3, 2022.

At the gate, right before boarding, Alaska Airlines canceled the flight. There was no pilot to fly the plane. Thankfully, the staff at the gate rebooked me for the next flight 90 minutes later. If you can’t find a hotel room, it may not mean that every room is booked. Rather, there may not be enough staff to clean the rooms.

Renting a car in Newark isn’t cheap, either. A two-day weekend rental will cost about $228. A one-day midweek rental costs more: about $199 per day. To check rental car rates, I usedsearch engine. You have to be a member to book it, but I’ve found it to be a dependable source. To Denver, prices hovered around $149 one-way for most of the winter. But traveling in late June will cost more: $563 round-trip on Delta, via Seattle or Salt Lake. Alaska Airlines has a nonstop: $638 round-trip. A rental car for two days will cost around $273 round-trip.

Icelandair canceled its Anchorage-Reykjavik schedule altogether. But other international carriers are canceling flights, too. Eurowings Discover, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, had scheduled three flights a week from Anchorage to Frankfurt starting June 1. But now, the first flight is June 13.
