Delta and NWA are matching the fare.
I wouldn't recommend trying to do Denali in one day, plus it'll be pretty much shut down by October anyway. That said, the drive to the Park is impressive in places. The drive to Seward is scenic and doable in a day. Portage Glacier is about an hour from Anchorage and used to be pretty spectacular (although the last time I was there it had melted substantially--much less impressive than when I visited as a kid). It's near Girdwood, which would be a nice area to walk around (no skiing quite yet, unfortunately :)). You'll have moderate daylight at that point, with the sun setting around 7pm and light for another hour or so.
Sat 10/7-8 LGA/JFK-ANC (but not EWR)
Sat 10/13-14 LGA/JFK-ANC
Sat 10/20-21 LGA/JFK-ANC
Wed 11/7-8 LGA-ANC
So it'll eat up the weekend but you can sleep in your own bed on Sunday and be ready for work on Monday.
I may be wrong, but I don't believe the IAH-ANC nonstop runs in the winter, thus requiring a stop in SEA before continuing on to ANC at that time of year.
CO.com also lists it as JFK-JFK on the My Itineraries page.
Alaska is a beautiful place but not too cold for this floridian :)
Overall, I am glad I got the deal and had the opportunity to see part of Alaska for the first time. Even if it was cloudy and cold for a Floridian like me, I still enjoyed the scenery of the place. Most mountain tops are already capped with snow. The drive to Seward was nice and I made several stops. I did not have the chance to do any of the boat trips for I arrived late in time for the boat to sail. Seward is a nice small fishing and boat trips community. On my way back, I stopped at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, which I am not really impressed. In fact, I am confused by its name for it turns out to be a mini-zoo. Perhaps, I could have seen better animals at the Anchorage zoo. Anyway, with plenty of time, I managed to get back to Anchorage just in time for dinner before heading to the airport to return the car and to check-in for my outbound flight.
I am looking forward to coming back to Alaska again, perhaps when it is summer time. :) :)

Oddly the same thing happened when I tried to upgrade at the Gate for the US flight back to Vegas...I didn't score...the Delta agents upgraded revenue passengers who were non-elite oh well ;)

CO is offering SEA-ANC at $203 roundtrip, all-in, for most of November. To give you some perspective...$203 is normally the cost of a one way SEA-ANC, not roundtrip. This is essentially a two-for-one deal. 1448 EQM's in each direction.
I haven't seen a $200 SEA-ANC roundtrip for at least a couple years now.
Also, does anyone have any input on upgrade chances for a Gold on a weekend in January?
Although now I'm wondering, is this the same plane making the turn-around? Perhaps it would be better to take the through-flight, that way if I'm delayed at any point IAH-SEA-ANC-SEA I'll at least be delayed with the plane I have to take.
I've lived here my whole life- 19 yrs, (except for College- away at Washington State for College in a few days) but speaking from experience, the darkest and coldest days in the ANC area are in Jan/ Feb. These are the months I'd enjoy taking a trip to HNL/OGG/etc... with my family. It would be ok in January, but nothing spectacular occurring. In Feb/MAR, ANC has its Fur Rondy Festival, which is interesting, not sure on dates, and also the Iditarod mushes off from ANC too. So there are things to do, but not exactly sure on dates. Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood is a good place for skiing or boarding. Other than that, Ice Fishing is also enjoyable.
Correct. I believe that one of the flights is a through-flight and others are connections.
Can anyone get this to work from EWR ?
Nope. I'm pretty sure the fare is only LGA/JFK. Even though they are co-terms in some of the definitions, CO fares them differently.
I ended up cancelling the LGA-ANC run as it would have entailed also getting the DL/US shuttle and did BOS-ANC instead.
However LGA-ANC was as follows:
1/8/08
CO 733 LGA-IAH (~2 hr layover)
CO 267 IAH-SEA (~ 2 hr layover)
CO 1681 SEA-ANC (~4 hr layover)
1/9/08 (immediate turnaround, you leave at 12:30am)
CO 223 ANC-SEA (~3 hr layover)
CO 166 SEA-IAH (40 min layover)
CO 1532 IAH-LGA
There's lots of availability in January but I didn't check for any dates in 2007 since I don't need the EQMs and for RDMs this all 737 itinerary isn't exactly awe inspiring.
None of the through-flights priced out and forcing a multi-segment itinerary LGA-IAH and then IAH-ANC broke the fare and kicked it up to an H fare bucket for $1000+
However I figure if there's some truly nasty weather by the time I get to IAH I could potentially try to sweet-talk them into getting me on the through-flight that does the IAH-SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH turnaround. That way there's no chance of misconnecting through those segments and you only have to worry about getting back to LGA (in my case also LGA-BOS).
I'm flying BOS-IAH-SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH-BOS now for marginally more EQMs and slightly less than adding the cost of the US Air shuttle flight BOS-LGA.
The bird that flies in as 667 is the one that turns around as 223.
I'm doing connecting flights, not the through flights, so I can spend some time in SEA (3hrs going, 2hrs on the return) and actually eat a real meal both directions.
And I have time for Pappadeaux's both ways in IAH. Maybe even a visit to Gordon's Galley, too.
I finally made all the bookings necessary for this trip complete including a $32/day rental car. My four day weekend perfectly fits to take advantage of this deal. I will be flying from FLL-EWR on the 5th, spend the night in NYC to catch my flight to ANC the next day from LGA. My flight arrives ANC before midnight on 10/6. Plan to get a 5 hour nap before heading out to see the place. After reading all your suggestions, I plan to drive to Seaward and back to ANC later in the afternoon to check the city. Then, return the car before midnight before checking-in for the return flight to LGA then to FLL. I hope all my flights will be upgrade to First (fingers-crossed). :D:D:D
I would not advise driving to Seward for the day unless you plan to take the 6 hour Kenai Fjords boat trip. You would get in on one of the last days if you did it on Oct 6th. Cost is $129 + tax and is WELL worth it. I just did it last month. You will see glaciers and lots of marine wildlife. I saw humpback whales, orcas (killer whales), Dalls porpoises, Stellar sea lions, puffins, several glaciers, one calving (ice falling from it). Just excellent with great commentary as well.

You need to leave Anchorage by 7.30am to leave plenty of time to get there for the 11.30am departure. Lasts until 5.30pm and you can drive back. Having been to Seward twice (and going again in two weeks) and Alaska several times, I can tell you that you will not be disappointed. Cold a bit perhaps so dress accordingly in layers. I had glovers with me in July and was glad I did for when I stayed on the outside deck.
If you don't take the boat tour in Seward, I would instead recommend you consider going north of Anchorage to Hatcher Pass area, Eagle River and Palmer. Lots to see out there and much closer. With Seward, it is a long way on a windy two-lane road to just go and "see the place." Another really good idea is the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center just south of Anchorage on the way to Seward. Actually if you don't go north and don't do the boat trip in Seward, I would suggest you go to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Girdwood and the Portage Glacier Visitor Center. Check if the Portage Glacier boat ride is running that day. At least all those places are within an easy hour's drive of Anchorage (probably much less that time of year).
My plan from MN is to combine this ticket that allows a stop in MSP in each direction with a second MSP-NYC-MSP ticket so I will end up with three trips - two to NYC (January and June) and one to Alaska in May. The Alaska trip is basically costing me under $150 more than just two MSP-NYC round trips. Looking forward to spending a week in Alaska at that time.

No in flight power for any of the 737 flights meaning I may finally get to read a book as my laptop won't charge sufficiently in the ANC turn-around time. LGA-IAH-SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH-LGA and 28+ hours of travel time..
No way I'd schlep BOS-EWR to get this started so I guess the DL/US shuttle it is which is going to add some to the cost per mile but I'm not anticipating a lot of travel in '08 so I may as well get started early.
And if you're really interested, the same deal was around in 2005 for about $70 less. See here (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=492656).
Now, what can I do for 1 day in ANC? All helpful suggestions are welcome.
This ($414 a/i in early 2009) still seems to be available from the CO website. I plugged in Feb 8-10 and I was given several choices. I might have to carry a flashlight if I decide to go at that time of year, though... :-)
beckoa is right, it will certainly be cold and dark. That said, I think a day-long trip in January is just about perfect, if only to experience Alaska in the winter. Having grown up there (Fairbanks) as well, people often ask if it's worth going up in the winter. My response is generally that if you can only go once, definitely, without a doubt go in the summer. However, if you've done a summer trip (or will in the future), spending a short period of time there in the winter (Dec/Jan/Feb) can be an interesting and worthwhile experience. If you really enjoy winter activities and want to get outside, wait until March when there's a reasonable amount of light and temperatures are likely to be better. But a one day January trip, especially when the purpose is just a mileage run, seems like a good idea to me.
Overall, I am glad I got the deal and had the opportunity to see part of Alaska for the first time. Even if it was cloudy and cold for a Floridian like me, I still enjoyed the scenery of the place. Most mountain tops are already capped with snow. The drive to Seward was nice and I made several stops. I did not have the chance to do any of the boat trips for I arrived late in time for the boat to sail. Seward is a nice small fishing and boat trips community. On my way back, I stopped at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, which I am not really impressed. In fact, I am confused by its name for it turns out to be a mini-zoo. Perhaps, I could have seen better animals at the Anchorage zoo. Anyway, with plenty of time, I managed to get back to Anchorage just in time for dinner before heading to the airport to return the car and to check-in for my outbound flight.
I am looking forward to coming back to Alaska again, perhaps when it is summer time. :) :)

Why would you go through SEA? certainly not for the miles?? better aircraft/timings? considering doing one of these myself
I would also not recommend Denali for a day trip and it is hard to get in after Sep 13 this year when the shuttle buses stop running.
Hatcher Pass and Independence Mine area are nice day trips not far north of Anchorage. If you can combine Girdwood and Portage Glacier Visitor Center as well as the short boat ride to the Portage Glacier that would be a nice trip. There is also a glacier near here that you can walk on (Matu... something!).
Another option is to drive through the Whittier tunnel (just past Portage Glacier's visitor center) and take a 4 hour boat tour visiting glaciers. Not sure if that is running in October though.
As was mentioned, lots to do in Seward but again, in the off season not sure what is running. Best if operating is the 6 hour Kenai Fjords NP boat tour. Get an early start to Seward, arrive by 11am, 11.30 boat tour finishes at 5.30pm, back in Anchorage that evening. If the AK railroad is still operating its daily schedule, you can take the train round trip for $130 and it is a very scenic trip and works perfectly with the 6 hour boat tour timings. Or Exit Glacier is also a nice possibility, Alaska Sealife Center, and local musem. But Seward is worth more than a day trip. I was there for two nights last month which was too short and going back again in two weeks (but not on this offer)!

Got it to work yesterday afternoon on NW. NW is also allowing all three NY Airports.
The Iditarod hasn't taken off from ANC for several years due to lack of snow, other than an honorary start.
Seward has the annual Polar Bear Jumpoff each January. You can watch (crazy?) people jump into the icy harbor as a fundraiser. Usually the second or third Saturday in Jan.
Flightseeing may also be an option. If you are lucky, you may be able to see the aurora borealis at night-time. You might also look into a dogsled tour. There is one out of Girdwood.
Planning a road trip is tricky if the roads are bad. Even in October, you can expect snow or ice in the higher elevations, such as the drive to Denali or Seward.
even if NW match the fare, it will route through MSP, not a great run for NW.
I finally made all the bookings necessary for this trip complete including a $32/day rental car. My four day weekend perfectly fits to take advantage of this deal. I will be flying from FLL-EWR on the 5th, spend the night in NYC to catch my flight to ANC the next day from LGA. My flight arrives ANC before midnight on 10/6.

I haven't seen a $200 SEA-ANC roundtrip for at least a couple years now.
If only AS had the relationship they have with NW, I'd bite for the CO deal. No EQM's on AS & no UG... no travel...
CO appears to have this deal off and on, it seems when the load for the weekend is lower than "normal". I helped a friend visit for the weekend for 230 AI back in April, and there are periodic "weekend" specials". Now if only AS were to match!!! Come on AS!
I could have pushed the return to route ANC-SEA-IAH-CLE-NYC but chose to not suffer any more for the extra 200 miles.
~$.04/EQM, which isn't great, but since I was expecting to be about 8K short of PLT requalification this seems to let me deal with that and not have to waste any vacation days to do it. I'll have to run my projected travel numbers one more time to make sure I really need this, but it looks like I'm going to do it.

It's actually also "bookable" out of BOS in that it raises the fare by about $156. BOS-IAH-SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH-BOS, all in T class. If you consider that the cheapest DL/US shuttle flights are comparable to this and it obviates the need to transfer carriers at LGA you can sleep a little later and arrive a little earlier back in Boston. I'm having second thoughts about the cost per EQM (5.8c) although with the platinum bonus the rdm cost is 2.6c.
Never flown in/out of JFK, so that might be a better deal...
Drive down to Seward (~3-4 hours) and see the fjords. There's another small (Girdwood, I think) just south of Anchorage that is also pretty nice. Denali National Park is only 4 hours up the road as yet another option. You should be able to drive to Seward, hike the Exit Glacier and drive back in a (long) day. Not sure how many hors of sunlight there will be in October, so that will affect things.
Yes, and I also found dates working in January of next year (on CO), so it would be useful for 2009 requal.
