Seasonal DTW-ANC flight is longer than MSP-ANC and is also FC marketed like MSP-ANC and can expect same FC service (don't expect a bread serving with meal). Also, no lounge access with either due to FC marketing.
Being flyer flyer talk it's hard to stay on topic, it' almost a 6 hours flight, my comment was more on a better service then what is being offered, regarding lounge access, not worried since I Have a membership to Sky Club, which, pays for itself with the amount of times I use it.
