yeah the next available 12.5K to ADK from MIA is in June. I wouldnt be surprised if ADK flights are limited to 1 or 2 super saver awards per flight. I doubt AS would even fly there if they werent required to and subsidized to do so under contract with Federal EAS. People gripe about $1260 RT ANC-ADK. Id hate to see the fare without EAS. I bet it would be $3500 or $4500 coach.....if the route was to break even including freight
