Just on the phone with my friends at USTravel. Toni and I were reviewing these G-R-E-A-T fares. I even called Penny over in Kodiak to confirm.
Hawtness, folks. Don't miss these:
Anchorage-Chicago: $157 one-way ($355 round-trip all-in)
Anchorage-Denver: $157 one-way ($355 round-trip all-in)
Anchorage-Los Angeles: $157 one-way ($355 round-trip all-in)
These fares come and go like the wind. Right now, it's just Northwest and Delta offering the rates (although it's possible you'll end up flying on Alaska Airlines because of their code-share arrangements). Stay tuned for more cities.
Call USTravel:
Anchorage: (907) 561-2434 or (800) 544-2434
Kodiak: (907) 486-3232 or (800) 478-3273
YES, these rates are good during the summer, but availability is SKETCHY.
