For those meeting downtown in the morning, there are two Heritage Cofee locations downtown, one on 2nd St and one on Franklin St. We're going to meet at 9:00am at the one on Franklin St.

The address is:

174 S. Franklin Street
Juneau, AK 99801

See you in not-too-many hours!

I love teh irony of making it on ATL-ANC only to not make it ANC-JNU.

Here's to trying the next three flights...

SEA-JNU has plenty of space in F if you make it to SEA...joys of DL flying in the summer...with a 757!

Also, don't worry about drunk driving -- I have plenty of space in case people crash here. Just posted the menu in the WIKI. usa18dca should be arriving around 715PM and will probably be cabbing it over.

If anyone needs a ride in the morning to the airport that's not out of the question either.

I have my next few trips to SEA booked on DL then hopping over to Alaska -- for starters the 757 kicks ... in First, but also the Alaska thru-fares were much MUCH higher than doing a DL to AS separate booking, and the DL agents in Juneau will add my connecting Alaska segments

I welcome Delta in Juneau, but just wish they'd cave and pay the fees for using the Alaska/DoD RNP approaches.... rumor is that Compass may end up in Southeast Alaska.... from some VERY reliable sources...

Following you guys vicariously - please post pics.

Can't wait to hear this year's flat-tire tale (what would an Alaska DO be without one?)

It was nice to meet everyone and see some old faces!

I managed to get out of Juneau without issues and am now headed home to ATL.

Cheers!

I could see Delta running SEA-JNU year around on these E75s.
