Thank you all for your helpful responses.
It appears that AA cease PHX-ANC direct on Aug 21, 2016.
AS start PHX-ANC direct on Nov 7, 2016, three times a week. Do you know if this is a new service, or a repeat of a seasonal one?
The latter doesn't help me as, even if I could persuade BA to reissue my AONE4 using AS between PHX and ANC, the flights would accrue zero BA tier pts as there is no AA code share.
Does anyone know roughly on what date AA began PHX-ANC in 2016? Is there a possibility that AA might resume the service from, say, Mar 2017? Or have they ceded this route to AS?
Gardyloo: are there any other north-south routes which are longer than 2,000 miles direct; as you know, east-west is only allowed once on a RTW.
