The flight was 2/3 full. I believe I'm the only folk who did immediate turn apart from the crew, several TSA agents and a trooper. Other passengers are native Aleut, technicians, contractors and a few locals. Overall it is a interesting mix.

AT&T was roaming on Windy Wireless when I was there for a few days.

Wow, I guess I always assumed it was combi plane that did this route, but it isn't. Now that we get upgrades on award tickets, it would seem to be a relatively easy upgrade to clear....I assume it's double catered

So this seems to be the only thread I can find on here regarding lights to ADK. I did BRW last year (not as a back to back, we stayed overnight) and quite fancied the Adak Island trip in July.
Has anyone done this recently? Prices seem insane at $1130 round-trip even in coach. In First the only inventory seems to be C class.
EF shows MCT as 30 minutes. Obviously the only concern is getting back through TSA but presumably TSA still fly out on the outbound, clear passengers, and then fly back with the return flight to ANC?
