You may be able to include a stop in Juneau and Anchorage but Kotzebue and Barrow would be out of the question - they only have service from Anchorage and aren't on the way to any other AS destination in the state of AS.

Yes, but ANC is on the way to BRW.

You can visit both ANC and Barrow (or ANC and Kotzebue), by skipping Juneau and, for example, cashing in 20,000 miles for a PDX-BRW ticket with a stopover in ANC. You only get one stopover per award, but in the past it hasn't mattered that the "stopover" in ANC has been far longer than a visit to BRW (or Nome or Kotzebue).

If you're curious to see Barrow, don't worry about upgrading between ANC and BRW as the route is served by combi aircraft without a first class section.
