- CLEAR is not available at ANC, so PreCheck is the fastest way through security.
- Global Entry membership includes TSA PreCheck, so it is a good option for frequent international travelers who also fly domestically.
- Luggage carts cost $8 and are available in the South Terminal baggage claim areas. Carts are not allowed behind security in the South Terminal.
