Thanksgiving Holiday, 2022 -- Fairbanks Alaska -- Part 2 - Sunday, 11/20 - Fairbanks Arrival and first night

Picking up the checked bags.

Took about 10 minutes.

Not too bad.

The terminal looks pretty new and is pretty nice.

It's a small airport so it has all the convenience of a not crowded small city/town airport. 

By the time we got our bags, it was about 12:30 AM (the next day, Sunday).

For the first night, we reserved a Best Western near the airport.

We called them for a shuttle ride & they sent a taxi to pick us up.

Took about 1/2 hour for the taxi.

The Best Western was just a couple of miles away.

Since we knew we'd be getting in so late, we reserved the Air-BnB and the rental car to start on the next day.

Sunday morning sunrise.

The sun was rising at about 9:45 AM & setting about 3:30 PM.

They didn't have anyone to drive the shuttle van so they called a cab for us to get a ride back to the airport (so we can pick up our rental car).

They paid for the cab rides.

We just paid for the tip to the taxi drivers.
