I'll start- found award space and U space to HNL in December, so booked my family and I to HNL nonstop from ANC for a week or so.

Not the cheapest flight- but K class was $328 OW, and U was there, so secured a few seats there and back.

Overall fares seem to be ok. U/A seems variable- checking around on EF can help. And remember, AS has a waiver in place:

Code:

For tickets purchased February 27, 2020 to May 31, 2020:
Tickets Purchased BetweenFebruary 27, 2020 - May 31, 2020
Original Travel DatesFebruary 27, 2020 - April 30, 2021
New Travel DatesOne year from the original travel date
Exception Policy
 Tickets must be changed or canceled prior to the departure of your original flight.
If you purchased your tickets through a third party, such as Expedia, another travel agency, or another airline, contact them directly for assistance.
If you purchase a Saver fare between February 27, 2020 and May 31, 2020, you may:Cancel your trip without a fee and deposit the funds into My Account wallet or receive a credit certificate for future travel.

If you purchase a nonrefundable First Class, main, or award ticket between February 27, 2020 and May 31, 2020, you may:Change your trip without a fee. New travel must be completed within one year of the original travel date. A fare difference may apply to your new itinerary.
Cancel your trip without a fee and deposit the funds into My Account wallet or receive a credit certificate for future travel.

This waiver is valid only for tickets issued by Alaska Airlines, which you can identify by a 13-digit ticket number that begins with Alaska Airlines code "027".
Tickets issued by other airlines with a different carrier code (ticket numbers that don’t begin with “027”) are subject to the waiver policy of the other airline.

And fares can be cheaper with the following fees not being collected:
