Cost to Fairbanks is $100. Website looks legit, but it is Alaska ... Headed up the 10th. I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world itself is vexing enough. -- Col. Stonehill

For $92.00 you could buy a one way with Ravn and get there a lot quicker.

Don't know if I'd want to be stuck in a shuttle with a bunch of strangers either. That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink. Steelhead

It's a no brainer when flying is cheaper than driving.

The best money you can spend here in AK is the $125 Anchoragua to Homer flight; followed closely by the ANC to Kenai or ANC to Fairbanks flight...
