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?
You only live once and you will (most likely) only have this one chance to visit the "Top Of The World". It is worth going if you have never been before.
