Definitely check on AS availability. They have more frequencies from more cities than do AA. They serve ORD year round from ANC, and you could also consider SEA and PDX which have several daily options. You'd be looking at two plane changes for the latter two, but availability may be better as those ORD-ANC flights do tend to fill up during the summer months.
EF can search for both AS and AA award availability so it may be a good tool to try. Good luck!
