I need help getting to Ancorage from Miami
I need to find the least cost way to get from Miami to Ancorage AK for 3 people.
This is an emergency case, my mother is dying and I need to get there in late June when the rest of the family will be there.
Because of the distance, I would prefer 1st or business class.
I have 14 first class upgrades on American but I have lost both my Platinum and Gold status. I have 39,000 available miles.
I have not travel for 4 years so I do not know what to do can anyone help ?

i'm not sure about AA's redemption values, but your 39k should almost cover 2 tickets, leaving you to just purchase one.
Have you called the AAdvantage desk to see what your options are?

Last I checked before I moved out of ANC, AA was not flying there. I would look at Northwest/Alaska Airlines or Delta...but you might also be able to get a deal on United. During the summer, they usually offer service out of Chicago to bring the cruise ship passengers home, and you might be able to get a reasonable price.

AA has seasonal service to ANC (June 1 to Sept, end date varies by city). Flies ORD-ANC, STL-ANC and DFW-ANC, all on 757s. Easy to get there on AAdvantage miles, but need 120K miles for 3 F tickets, 39K is not quite enough for 1!
