  • If you do ANC-DFW == No space, so do ANC-DFW/PDX/SEA-XXX == Space (pretty horrible to do two US domestics on one day/within 24 hours with young kids so I tried to avoid)
  • I ended up exiting via ORD and entering via SEA-DOH as I found a random set of seats - I actually changed my whole trip as originally I was going to do Asia - West Coast - ANC - East Coast - Doha. As a result of the availability challenge I switched to be HKG - JFK - ORD - ANC - SEA - DOH
  • I could have gotten DFW in there, but when you look at the distances the "optimal" route is really to go from JFK-LAX-ANC (better seats, more miles), but sadly I also struggled with the transcontinental as well
