I smell cookies! It’s the latest addition over at Era Alaska! These flights are short–but they treat you right with fresh-baked cookies!

Choose from white chocolate chip, regular old chocolate chip, oatmeal-raisin or sugar-cinnamon. They’re all good–and you’ll find them on Era Alaska‘s Dash-8 flights!

In addition to the cookies, Era serves more than 100 Alaskan communities. That’s a bunch. Book at flyera.com

Save all summer with Princess!

23rd May
2010
written by scott
We talked last week about great Memorial Day packages at the McKinley Princess for as little as $69 per night (still available!). Whoa! Grab ‘em and go! Pictured above, the lovely Fairbanks Princess Riverfront Lodge.
Let’s take a moment and plan for June and July getaways! There are plenty of Princess deals:
a. Copper River Princess, from $79/night. Set on a  bluff overlooking the confluence of the Klutina River and the Copper River just south of Glennallen. It’s just up the road from Wrangell-St. Elias National Park–and you can see the giant Wrangell Mountains in the floor-to-ceiling windows at the Lodge…along with the Alaska Pipeline! Whether you’re on the road between Fairbanks and Valdez, or you’re looking for a base for your adventures in the National Park, this is the place–especially for as little as $79 per night on select dates in June and July!
b. Mt. McKinley Princess, from $99/night. Located just 41 miles from Denali, this hotel is the closest to the mountain! Right on the banks of the Chilitna River, upstream from Talkeetna. If you want to take the train from Anchorage, you can ride private rail cars pulled by the Alaska Railroad between Anchorage and Talkeetna. Then, your coach driver will take you up to the lodge. For as little as $99 per person, double occupancy, you and a friend can enjoy overnight accommodations, train ride and transfers!
c. Fairbanks Princess, from $99/night. Although it’s just a mile or so from the Fairbanks airport, the Princess is built on the shores of the Chena River–a classy address in Fairbanks! Enjoy great savings on select dates in June and July. Ask about Alaska Airlines miles when you check in!
And yes, other bargains are available for Denali Princess and the Kenai Princess. Visit the website for full details. Or, call (800)426-0500 to book your special today!!
NEW: Listen to the Podcast of our Radio Show with our friends at Princess, talking about all the cool deals. CLICK HERE.

Euro-Bargains on Condor’s Euro-Express

8th May
2010
written by scott
Let’s do a little math, shall we? You can fly nonstop from Anchorage to Frankfurt in about nine hours on Condor. Fly over on June 1, returning June 12. The cost? $965 roundtrip, all-in (including all taxes and fees).
How does that stack up with other airlines? First, they all fly through the Lower 48. That means it takes about 20 hours in each direction. FUN! Here’s a little rundown for the same dates:
Delta Air Lines: $1,522 rt all-in
Continental: $1,550 rt all-in
American Airlines: $1,498 rt all-in
I didn’t bother checking USAir, but you get the idea.
To or from Fairbanks, the fare is even lower. Fly Fairbanks-Frankfurt nonstop on June 10, returning on June 17 for just $757 roundtrip, all-in. That’s cheaper than flying to L.A. !
Condor flies Boeing 767s–and the planes just got refurbished in a three-class configuration. The bulk of the seats (217) are in economy. But there’s now a “premium economy” which offers about six inches of extra legroom, in addition to its Comfort Class.
Premium economy (pictured here) also includes:
a. Greater backrest recline.
b. Cocktail service with a snack
c. Free drinks served with meals
d. Premium Menu
e. Amenity bag
f. Blankets and extra large pillow
Remember–fly with Condor and you could be in Europe in less than 10 hours. Check the website for the lowest fares: Condor.com
