Got back last Saturday, luckily left SFO earlier in the day before the Asiana crash. Not sure why ANC was jammed packed at 11:30pm Friday night. TSA line was long but went fast. Learned a sweaty back (double shirt) will trigger the TSA scanner

The ANC-SFO flight at 12:50am was packed, luckily the DW and I had the exit row. Was able to upgrade to FC for the SFO-IAD run. After being up since 5am Friday to get off the cruise ship and then a 6 hr fjord boat ride then a long train ride from Seward to Anchorage the FC seats were nice.

The VX checkin crew at ANC were able to combine our 1-way (ANC-SFO) to the 2nd leg of our RT (IAD-SFO-IAD) so our luggage was waiting for us at IAD. VX also automagically removed the $25 baggage fee from the SFO-IAD leg when we upgraded to FC.

Both flights were packed. Hopefully my next vacation will allow us to use VX again.
