I asked this one over at FT, but I hope you don't mind me plucking your brains too because I know there's a few members over here who are full of this kind of thing and two heads are better than one!
The usual story, as always. Limited to no availability for when I want to book with QFF points. The best I've come up with so far for 83k points is:
5th Nov: HNL–ANC
3rd Dec: ANC–SEA–YEG
10th Dec: YEG–SEA–SFO–KOA (overnight in SFO).
I'll hit 80k before the month is out, but I might have to buy some wine, go out to dinner and book a room for the weekend. Not a bad idea, come to think of it!
I'd jump at the chance to slip in an Alaskan milk run, however, rather than going direct from ANC to SEA. Flights AS64 or AS65, for example, have about 3 stops each including JNU, KTN, etc. In other words, if you have any suggestions to make (albeit in Y) then do share your wisdom. I've been playing with city pairs for ages, with both HNL and YEG the more important ones. Also wondering if Fairbanks is better than ANC but then perhaps that all depends on the scenery. I have seen routes like these for 76k but again, availability seems buggered to none.
