I would love the chance to do a stopover in Alaska. Or even simply visit for a few weeks if the price was right. I imagine early/mid September might be ideal as far as the weather.

You only need a couple hours to do the majestic drive along the Turnagain Arm out to maybe Portage Glacier viewpoint and then turn back.
If you have 1 day, drive down to Seward and do the Harding Icefield hike... or wildlife/glacier cruise from Seward (or Whittier).
If you have a couple nights, drive out to Valdez. Richardson Highway down to Valdez is amazing, and at Valdez you can do one of the guided kayak tours.

Very cool to see your collectors' items.
Looking art your CP paper ticket, I see CP had the original flight numbers 3 and 4 to and from NRT (and I knew AC kept some of the CP flight numbers). In recent times, I spent 6 years flying AC's 3 and 4 on the YVR-NRT route, right up until the world closed, especially for travel to Japan.
As to Northern Pacific Airways using leased 757s, I would hope they are the newer versions than this gem that popped up on a couple of my regular DFW-ANC trips back in 2016. (Talk about Throwback Thursday). Still, I've flown with pilots who were quite "passionate" about their 757s.
At ANC
lol
Eeeek. And when the screens came on, it was scratchy snow (for those of you old enough to remember bad TV signals)
I may have missed the bears but I got a glam shot of Bullwinkle.
Absolutely. I know up here in the Great White North there are a number of new LCCs and ULCCs (beyond the sub brands that AC or WS have/had). I wish all of them luck.

Although I didn't see any mention of free stopovers on their website, which I think was an important driver for Icelandair. I wonder whether they're planning that and just haven't put it on the site, or they don't plan to offer it.

Our Basic and Standard fares differ in the amenities they offer to passengers. With the Basic fare passengers have the benefit of a lower fare cost, however their seat selection is not promised, and they are limited to only a personal item and no carry on item. However with the standard fare your seat selection is promised and you have the option for both a carry on and personal item.
Thank you for reaching out to us here at Northern Pacific Airways.

Got a call from Northern Pacific about 2 hours ago that they canceled their inaugural on the 2nd and they changed my flight to the new inaugural on the 23rd. Guess that counts as an official confirmation from the airline?
