I would have loved this when I was living in Anchorage. It's a difficult place to live if you like to travel.
It is crazy how little options there are to travel internationally directly from Alaska. Even this flight to EWR seems like a backtrack. I go to the 49th state to FAI/SCC once or twice a year, and at times tied to a visit to other parts of the world. It is always a trip back to ORD/DEN/SFO. You are almost halfway to NRT from DEN in ANC and halfway from EWR.
I do get a good laugh seeing a Condor 767 take off from FAI - that airport is a bump in the road most days.
