I just grabbed the 4:15PM. all 3 were available about 7:30am Eastern. now per EF none on the 1:30. 1 left at 4:15pm and 2 left on 7:30PM
*Edit* just checked again and its down to 1 seat left on the 7:30PM. Hopefully someone in our group grabs it soon.
I checked the 9/3 flights and its down to 1 on the 1:30 so these go really fast.

I doubt they go that fast normally.
Now, who really, really wants to spend 3.5 hours in a prop plane?

We are in on the Wednesday afternoon flight ANC-DUT and out on the Thursday late flight.
The timing looks bad for us for any pre-DO but our vote for any post-DO activity is strongly in favor of Denali since in our opinion, that is a place one never tires of visiting.
Valdez is a pretty little town where you can get excellent fish and chips, located on a lovely bay. We have already driven over there and come back via the car ferry. We do not think it is anywhere near the attraction as is that park.

Hey...2028 was clearly to be GAM 
Back on topic however... for those who haven't found award space yet are still interested, this could be an excellent use of a BoA AS companion certificate. The cities must be served by AS, and due to the Wet Lease AS runs, DUT qualifies. If you have questions feel free to pm jackal or I, or post away.

I ran into a snag ticketing my flights via AA.com - they claim since they don't have an agreement with the operating carrier, PenAir, they can't ticket it, regardless of the codeshare with AS. Did anybody else use AA miles??

It's not really a "codeshare" per se--it's an Alaska Airlines flight operated by PenAir, much the same way that SEA-PDX is an Alaska Airlines flight operated by Horizon Air and SEA-LGB is an Alaska Airlines flight operated by SkyWest. It's basically a regional flight.
For all intents and purposes, it is an Alaska Airlines flight, just as any "Delta Connection" flight is a Delta flight and any "American Eagle" (or "Envoy Air" or whatever it is now) flight is an American flight. (Surely AS doesn't have to maintain separate agreements with every one of DL's regional contractors--Chautauqua, Compass, Endeavor, ExpressJet, GoJet, Shuttle America, and SkyWest--separately, do they? And yet somehow they manage to ticket itineraries involving all of these regional subcontractors.)
I'm very surprised they can see and book the space but not ticket it. I'd try explaining it to them in those terms; maybe they can force it through somehow...

The rep cancelled my held reservations. So that popped them right back into the available pool and I booked them again, and purchased straight away this time (the Hold screen is the one that did not have the Purchase button).
It's on request now, however, I doubt it will go through - it now says the trip will cost me 0 miles and $0. If only!
Will report back with the outcome.

Wow sorry about the fun with AA. We tested AA and DL to see if it showed space, but never tried to ticket them. It *should* go thru I'd think...

Well, surprise surprise - status now shows ticketed. Email confirmation with ticket# in hand. It charged me zero $ in taxes and fees (is that even possible?) But it took my miles just fine.
Really no idea why the rep (and the rep she called at aa.com) couldn't do this but the automated system could. It's definitely listed as "AS operated by PenAir" on the confirmation. It sounded like she thought the zero dollars meant it isn't valid.
I'm not sure I want to call just yet and get the AS PNR, they may just change their minds!
