Thanks to “a little birdie” down in baggage claim,  we just learned that Era Aviation is offering $139rt between Anchorage and Fairbanks through Feb. 29.

That’s a great deal. Era now has three flights each day. In May, as previously reported, they’re doubling the schedule to six flights each day.

Headed north to Fairbanks? Bundle up your overcoat! Be sure and visit Chena Hot Springs. We LOVE that place. Oh, check out the video at Alaska Podshow. Stay at the Alpine Lodge–they’ve got special rates as low as $69 per night through Feb. 29! 

Coming south to Anchorage? Great–just in time for Fur Rondy! Never mind Nordstrom, Costco, Dimond Center and all that jazz. Stay at the Hotel Captain Cook–it’s the official hotel of Fur Rondy. Special $125 weekend rate. Y-e-s, that INCLUDES admission to the Health Club! 

Back-and-forth. Back-and-forth. Rent from Avis. Our favorite!
