I just realized that I will be in Alaska with my wife from Jun 20-27th, and this happens to fall on the same time as the DO! I have never been to an FT DO and have always wanted to. I have a refundable RV for the week as we were planning on doing ANC-Denali-Fairbanks-paxson-anchorage for the week.
Now, I am having some serious thoughts of joining the DO!
Since I am late to the party - I would have to get in on AS 50 at 6:13pm. Return flights on 6/21 from BRW-ANC are 350pp or 17.5k miles pp. This is a little steep in my opinion.
I wanted to gather some thoughts from others - worth trying to change plans? On the one hand, I doubt I would make it to Barrow otherwise, especially during Summer Solstice. On the other hand, paying over 500pp just for flights stings a lot.
Anyone have thoughts?
