So June/July 2019 are definitely out then? Missed this year - would love to go to an AK DO in 2019.

I don’t know that there really is a formal date or loctaion yet. Only reason early May came up in discussion was because there is a bird festival in Cordova the first weekend in May if I remember correctly, that looked like a fun event to attend.

You know what would be fun next summer (2019) ? All of us on the ANC-HNL flight. I know that would strictly speaking not be an Alaska DO and would not be able to get Bobs BBQ - but -- just a thought.

Please DO NOT feed into Beckoa's fantasies. But if you do, you could always make it HNL (or many other HI departure points) to ANC and still make the BBQ.

It has been pointed out to you by ALL of your closest friends, PIT was NOT an Alaska DO. Just because an Alaska Airlines plane took you there is no enough to make it one. Now, if Hawaii and events in Alaska are tied into a DO, then it will qualify as an AS-HI hybrid.

I've missed every Alaska Do so far. I need to make it to the next one. Does Alaska still do the milk run flights (albeit no longer in a combi)?
