THANKS GUYS for all the helpful info.
We will rent the car for 4 days from Fairbanks and return in Anchorage
before flying off. The plan is to take the train from Anchorage to Denali
park for 1night there.
Avis does not charge more for the one-way.
The total time we will spend in Alaska is 7 nights.
How are you gonna get from Seward to Anchorage ? (125 miles) I would
think the train ride from Anchorage to Denali will take most of the day
( about 500 miles and stops " wherever people want to get off" ).
Also the fare : $220 pp one- way - seems pretty expensive to then - not
stay , but hop in a car and drive back
