I had booked a ticket in earlier April, but I had to cancel because of unexpected work came up. I will lose my delta platinum at the end of Feb, and with all my MRs, it is hard to find a weekend to go to Barrows (subject to my weekend without MR, and AS award space, and delta award rule -- 3 segments each way.)

Actually it is 3 connections (4 segments) each way. Wish you could come a different time - really not much to do in November. When I went in September I was able to see a Barrow HS football game (you can google it to see the story behind their field) and was able to find someone to bring me on an ATV to Point Barrow, which is inaccessible by vehicle (basically going over a sandy beach).
