US-AK is one of the best redemptions around. I've not done it 3x and it's been the best value at low redemption. Good luck and let me know if you need any help. MSP-ANC/FAI are the right connections, you should be able to find enough low to avoid connecting over the WC. Keep in mind NW/DL won't serve you food if you're in Y, but I had great luck getting UG'd on award tickets (was 100%) with NW.

Feel free to PM me or also PM fti, he's a super expert on AK.
