awesome, that's just the kind of info I was looking for. As much as I love exploring airports for those quiet, secluded spots, I have a feeling that I'll be pretty tired after flying all day.

Quick followup for Jackal: by "behind security" I'm assuming you mean airside? I'm looking at the south terminal map on their website and there are Starbucks both land and airside, but the only elevator listed is landside, so I wasn't sure. I ask because I think I'm going to have to exit security to collect my bag in ANC. NW/AS codeshare (booked w/ NW) into ANC, and then AS (booked w/ AS) to Fairbanks, so I may not be able to get back airside until morning check-in.
