Unfortunately, SEA is a BIGGER hub!

That said, when Mexico demand dropped off, I think that was the primary reason that LAX-ANC was dropped in the winter. AS has flown this route in the winter months before and from what I heard it was mostly Mexico connections. With the new, nonstop service between ANC and Hawaii pleasing us Alaskan sunseekers, I'd be surprised if LAX-ANC returns in the winter anytime soon, outside of maybe the holiday rush.
