Schedule search in GDS is showing AS3594 KOA (via SEA) ANC, but I don't think that is the schedule.

Great if true. AS hasn't had much growth from ANC in several years; nice to see a new route out of here. I wonder if it'll operate the off-days that ANC-OGG doesn't operate?

Thinking back from my memory, I believe this is the first new route, not just ex-ANC but ex-Alaska, that AS has started from the state since HNL/OGG came online several years ago.
Nice to see the 49th State get some of the expansion love, even if it's just once a week.

Valid point ;)
Lately ex-ANC AS has been curtailing routes ex-ANC
No more ANC-SFO/YVR/etc and seasonal reductions on ANC-ORD...
Curious as to what fares will be.

Brand new for Alaska, and it's now open for reservation. Seat sale fare will probably available to book the moment airline announce it (probably Tuesday or Wednesday).

It's bookable in the GDS, which used by travel agents. But this particular flight is not appearing on AS website until they announce it, therefore rules/fares are not filed.
Otherwise L-class fare is starting at $900.

Can you do a low fare guarantee request for the return (knowing you, you've probably already tried it!)?

Less then a week away from the inaugural flight... loads have calmed down a bit (both are Y7 now) but stuck in non-exit row seat on the return the 11th... and of course F has been showing 0 for months :(
Excited- about 90% chance I'll go despite that I don't need any more miles for 2012 (will end up with over 100K :eek:)

Very friendly crew- lots of AS folks at the gate with a ribbon ceremony- fruit trays, cookies, juice and bottled water. They also had Hawaiian music playing- can't wait- we also got lucky with N537AS Sky Interior :D
