AS running scared much? When they are trying to encourage traffic on a newly-opened route, they only offer double miles. In case anyone is wondering what's prompting this outpouring of generosity...
B6 907 dep SEA 8:15 PM
AS 111 dep SEA 7:55 PM
AS 141 dep SEA 8:15 PM
B6 908 dep ANC 12:35 AM
AS 106 dep ANC 9:30 PM
AS 108 dep ANC 12:35 AM
AS 110 dep ANC 12:55 AM
AS 146 dep ANC 1:15 AM
AS 130 dep ANC 1:30 AM
In some cases these flights are priced hundreds less than other times for the same route. Time for an AK-based DO, anyone?

Summer Triple Miles Promos
Several triple miles promos from May 17-September 3 as seen on the AS Facebook page, including the probably-have-never-ever-before-seen-a-bonus route of ANC-SEA:

ETA: Merging with existing month-old thread...apparently the mod himself didn't check to see if this had been announced here earlier.

Downright bizarre!
Seattle - Boston is generally packed during the summer. However, as it looks like I'll have such a roundtrip during that period, I'll take it!

Most of my flights are short trips from ANC to PDX taken care of by business. AS currently has a sale for $79 OW fares from PDX to SAN. I was able to tack on two, 1-day SAN-BOS trips back to back for $340 RT. Each of the 3 purchases also offered a 10,000 mile purchase for $190. Not counting the 2 ANC-PDX segments, it turns out to be around 54,350 RDMs -- and that's before factoring in my bonus miles for Gold status.
Sounds crazy but it's worth it to me (I think!). I recently cashed in for an EK ticket in F (ANC-SEA-DXB-HGK) and have just over 100K miles left in my account. My goal is to build the balance back up and grab another F ticket while availability is still good. Between that RDM MR and all of my scheduled flights for the next 6 months I should easily hit the 200K+ mark again soon. Fingers crossed.
When pricing out the value of those international F tickets (upwards of $25,000) it seems to be a pretty good ROI.
