I think the OP was more in it for "free beer/wine"

It's Horizon and Alaska - minor detail 
Sure only 2000 miles, but it's a quick way to get 4 segments towards MVP status. And it's all accomplished in 7 hours.

Slightly cheaper but similar beer/wine segment runs
Sure, it's not cheap mileage wise and involves prop planes. But it could be a good way to have fun while earning a couple segments.
I found a couple other runs which are slightly cheaper (date I tried was 9/15).
SEA-PDX-GEG-PDX-SEA, All Horizon, $159 all in, 2000 miles
SEA-BTM-BZM-BOI-SLC-SEA, 1st 2 only are on Horizon, last 2 delta, $181 all in, 2689 miles (2500 EQMs on Continental or NWA).

This is great except for one thing - AS does NOT seem to run on time these days - so one "hiccup" and you could be SOL 
I like the idea though! Especially since it does count towards MVP.
