GEG->SEA (Seattle, WA) -- Horizon Air
SEA-> ANC (Anchorage, AK) -- AK Air
ANC-> FAI (Fairbanks, AK) -- AK Air
FAI-> JNU -- ERA (helicopter)
All in all, including stopovers it would take about 25 hours and cost well over a grand. 
Now, when you can get a three hour flight that goes GEG-SEA-JNU and costs about $350, why would anyone in their right mind take the first one?  |
MAl, ERA also flies planes.
Why would anyone fly from seattle to Fairbanks then down to Juneau? Of course unless Xa'at was comming to see me?
I would think one could catch a more direct flight from Seattle to Juneau, or at worst from Anchorage to Juneau. |

Hi Arctic (serious delay in answering )
Been here and there doing stuff. I check in but not as often as I used to.
Hope everyone is well.
Are you happy now Arctic? I assume you guys must have snow since we got a little bit.
Have a great New Year!!! |

Yes we have some snow, Not as much as we would like. Have to keep an eye on underground pipe. Make sure the heat tapes are working. Nothing more frustrating waking up to no water. Life is good here so far, enjoying a relative mild winter.  |

Yes that's pretty much it. Especially in Alaska where most women are pretty independent. the SO has to be multitalented. |
