Alaska Winter Aurora Train is a must-take! A magnificent view that opens your eyes

Alaska's winter Aurora train only runs three times a week! We took a trip from Fairbanks to Anchorage. After purchasing the ticket online, you need to check in and check in your luggage two hours in advance on the same day. You can check in two pieces of luggage weighing 20 kg. There are only four carriages on the train, one is the dim sum carriage and the other is the restaurant carriage. The windows of the dim sum carriage are fully open. It is recommended to take pictures as soon as you get on the train because there will be many people occupying seats in the back. The restaurant car is only open for lunch and dinner. Two hours before meal time, a service staff will come to ask if you want to order lunch or lunch. After purchasing, the service staff will remind you that you can go to the restaurant car when it is time to eat. Usually there is a socket near the last seat in the carriage. There is no Wi-Fi in the entire car, and the network reception will be completely cut off in certain sections of the journey. You can bring books or mobile games to play with friends. It is also worth mentioning that there are only two seats for four people facing each other in each carriage, and they need to be booked very, very early. The scenery along the way is spectacular. When passing some scenic spots or seeing small animals, the conductor will keep broadcasting along the way to remind everyone that they can watch. There are also two points along the way for everyone to get off the bus for a rest and a walk. Remember to listen to the broadcast and get on the bus, otherwise you will be left behind on the way. It's a great train experience. I recommend you book one and a half to two months in advance.
