Something else to keep in mind: United, Delta & Continental all are returning service to Anchorage starting in June. Alaska Airlines has had a virtual monopoly to Anchorage for a number of years. It's possible that once the other carriers ramp up service, start up sales, etc, will drive prices even lower. As of right now, even with this latest "sale", ticket prices are at the same cost as they were last year when AA had virtually no competition.
