I just purchased a roundtrip on UA from IAD to ANC for $347.30. I am flying up on Saturday morning, Sept. 28, 2013, with a return on Sept. 29, 2013, the next day. I arrive back at IAD on Monday Sept. 30, 2013, at 0729. Connection at SEA in both directions. Cost per mile: 4.6 cents.

Good find. I booked a two day trip to ANC in October (I love the snow...hope it is snowing!). I booked two stops each way for $355.10. With minimums, it is 4.03 cpm.

IAD-EWR-SEA-ANC-DEN-IAH-IAD (8519 miles, 8806 with minimums)

Only 40k more miles needed for 1k this year!

For those in Florida you can do FLL-ANC for $507 if you route through IAD. Comes out to close to 5 cpm depending on the routing.

I was just getting ready to post the same deals...

Sep 28-29 DCA-IAH-DEN-ANC-SEA-EWR-DCA $378/8523 = 4.4cpm
Oct 12-13 DCA-IAH-DEN-ANC-SEA-EWR-DCA $355/8523 = 4.2cpm

Looked like there were other flights available during the week in early October - but managed to snag the weekend trips!

Thanks, OP. I'm going in early September. Now to see if it's fishing season?

Looks like you're closer to DCA, but for those near IAD like me: there is a routing through SFO over the Labor Day weekend that will get 8,852 PQM for $371 or 4.2 CPM A/I R/T.

Also, I found this routing:

Aug. 30-Sep. 1 IAD-CLE-SFO-ANC-SFO-DEN-IAD = 9,097 PQM @ $357 3.9 CPM (including 500 PQM minimums)

The only downside is that there are some short layovers in CLE (35 minutes) and DEN (47 minutes).

I would have snagged one of these routings if not for the fact that I already committed to attending a Con in Atlanta with one of my friends.

I am trying to start this trip out of DEN, and i cannot get the routing to work at all. Is it not feasible? I tried to head DEN-SFO-ANC RT and then DEN-IAD-ANC RT

Any ideas on how to make this work?
