We could arrange for the Spenard Reality Tour, where you could see hookers, houses of ill repute, porn shops, drunks, drugs and all the other fine things that neighborhood has to offer

Glad you got your seat to DUT secured and good luck on the return ^
For those canceling award saver seats, they do tend to return, however not immediately. Expect a lag of 30-60 minutes...I blame cookies of some sort.

Inbound to ANC 4th Sep was cancelled. Luckily, seat was still available so I did a new online booking, and "paid" the $0.00 on my credit card. New PNR created, but still waiting for the points to be deducted, and ticket to be issued.
Outbound to DUT 2nd Sep, was cancelled earlier today. Seat did not immediately re-appear. After a few hours of checking, was available again, so did new booking and paid $0.00 straight away. New PNR issued.
Then a short time ago, received eticket email, and can see the 12.5k miles have been deducted.
So, I may have a ticket to DUT finally, wait to see is the return eventuates. John.

Adventures indeed.
Glad to have you back.
And for those interested- the preliminary Alaska State Ferry schedule has twice monthly visits to DUT, however its a week after our return so probably won't work out (departs DUT on Saturdays). Granted this is a 'rough draft' and could change, but wouldn't count on it.
And checking saver space for DUT flights closer in, it does seem more tends to open up on emptier flights, however that's key. Ones very full don't.
There is still W1 on 9/4/14 AS3299 DUT-ANC.

Seats
So the saga booking through AA continued.
Sep 4 DUT-ANC opened up again, booked and paid at the same time, waited for ticket to issue.
Nothing happens. Seat re-appears as being available 12-18 hours later.
So, try to book it for a third time. Receive 3rd PNR.
This one issues within maybe an hour or two. I receive confirming email with ticket number, followed by the email checking that the points deduction is correct.
Interesting experience .
I wonder if any of our learned AK friends could advise how I call to get seats allocated. I do not want to ring another Executive Platinum AAngel after the repeated frustrating calls in the last few days where they were adamant they could not assist me with my Pen Air flight. Their solution was to sell me a seat for $429, or catch a ferry from Anchorage.
Oh, and jackal, may I kindly ask that you add my name to the interested list.
I am allegedly booked on Sep 2 AS3294 from ANC at 12:30.
Return Sep 4 AS3299 from DUT at 13:30.
If I am attending, I will probably interested in all activities. John.

Ugh. That's the first week of school for me I'm sure. I might see if I can swing Part III, though.
