Would like to travel to ANC in June for the Midnight Run and some sightseeing (me & 2 kids to meet up w/one of the runners). Here's the dilemma - I have 3 free tix on US metal to anywhere in Continental USA, and they won't get me to ANC.

Historically, what has been the cheapest place in the US to get to/from ANC? I would redeem my tix to that point and pay the difference if it makes sense. I need to book my free tix no later than Mar 12 so the clock is ticking. I was thinking of extending my vacation time to LAX as well. Right now LAX-ANC is 299 and unsure if even avail around my days. (216 from SEA)

Any suggestions? (Any other board on this site I should post my dilemma?)
