It seemed like $149 RT - ANC>>SEA was pretty common for many moons as well.

My daughter just paid 649.00 for a RT from Seattle to Anchorage with Alaska Airlines You know "The never on time Airlines", Yepper times have changed.

I remember my $99 OW ticket price, because that was part of the "cost" of buying my truck in Seattle since Seekins Ford was too proud of what they had on the lot.

What I saved, paid for the ticket, HD reciever hitch (installed), full length running boards (installed), 3-horse slant horse trailer, fuel to drive back north, meals, and a little jingle left over.

Good ol' Seekins......right here, Ralphie!

Nice to know it's still "cheaper" to fly into ANC from the bush than from ANC to the lower other states; well, it is from here anyway... barely, and as long as one buys the right ticket.

I remember paying over $500 for Kodiak-Anchorage round trips in the late '80s and when MarkAir came in we suddenly had $150 RTs... I miss MarkAir in a lot of ways.

One thing they did not do was compromise their maintenence though. A pilot for them told me the average plane in the Hawaiian Air fleet had some ridiculous high number of requests for repair. If a MarkAir plane had one it did not go in the air...
