JNU-SEA RT $190! Amazing!!
I'm so happy, I purchased JNU-SEA RT, both non-stop flights on AS, for $190. I just love Delta, today, for the competition.
Now let's see if I get a complimentary upgrade on either flight.
As I was not invited to the Gold lunch, this is a nice second prize.

Looks like DL declared war on AS... SEA-JNU $95, SEA-ANC $111, SEA-SIT $91.
Looks like it's a great time to quasi-MR to Alaska from SEA...

You're showing your love and appreciation to DL by flying AS? Lol. If a few of you Juneauites don't show some appreciation by flying them occasionally you'll be back to $500 RT to SEA before you know it.

Chugach - someone else can fly DL
DL is for tourists. It's for tor those who do not know the complicated JNU approach and takeoff scenarios - for those who have never sat through an aborted takeoff on a contaminated runway knowing that this is the worst runway-eating procedure possible at JNU.
I want an AS pilot and crew in AS-equipped metal flying me in and out of JNU.
But I do like paying $190, while it lasts. Might be a short-term Mark Air-type arrangement. Unless they can fly enough tourists.

The only reason I'm not booking Delta is the stupid bag fees. Otherwise, Delta's service compared to Alaska is much better out of here - ie seatback tvs with free movies, 2 choices of entrees in First Class, a curtain they actually close between F/Y. Alaska is a GOOD airline - don't get me wrong - but Delta has a better hard product.

The same KTN-SEA. I saw a ridiculously low fare mid May, but then it was back up to $300 return on Delta for a week later. Still good, but add bag fees and it's the same as AS.
And really, what's the point in a Seattle trip if you can't fill up two large suitcases of shopping?

Buy that Delta ticket and when you next log in to Delta (via web or app) they'll likely present an offer of an Amex card to waive the first bag fee. They'll market 1st upgrades, Comfort+ seating, Mileage Booster, and a wifi pass the same way, in rotation - seemlessly (or relentlessly, depending on one's perspective).
Why should I get a credit card which I don't want so I can get only one free checked bag while AS is pretty much the same amount?

I haven't heard this, do you have more information? Last I heard AS owned their own approaches, and giving them to DL would improve their competitors on-time performance. I'm sure AS would prefer that they were more reliable than DL. Curious as I figured it would be a matter of time before DL either got their own or figured out a way to use Alaska's if DL was serious about JNU.

Having only been to ANC once as the starting point for a road trip to Denali... what's there to do at the end of May? Kenai peninsula, maybe? Off to Google

Nice! Just as I was wondering what to do over Memorial Day, I now tentatively got myself a weekend trip to ANC for $220

It was cheaper than a hotel room.
