I was looking for mostly local flights for the family vacation but I gave up trying for the AK free seats this time around, the server was painfully slow and was continously dropping my booking, even more than usual during the sales period. And this was at 4am local time (I was jet lagged). I got some really good seats last year, KUL-OOL (Gold Coast) for US$450 for a family of five! Oh well...
