DFW to Anchorage, AK is a 6.5 hour flight. No, that’s nowhere as long as the 14 hour to Dubai, but it’s still a really long flight! We booked our flight as soon as it went on sale last year and I was able to use AA miles for both of us! So, as our trip neared, and the seats surrounding us all filled up, Sean kept suggesting getting the First Class upgrade. I watched the AA app, and when the upgrade price went into my acceptable range, we got it! It was a really enjoyable experience! The bigger seats and extra leg room were great for the long flight. We also got a really good lunch, and several drinks!
My Flight Attendant friend suggested making little gift bags for the crew, which I did. They had mints, a good pen, chocolates, B&BW hand sanitizer, and Shout wipes. The crew all loved them and thanked me. ❤️
When we arrived at ANC, we waited a while for our bags, then hopped on the convenient shuttle to our first hotel: The Lakeftont. It’s only 5 minutes away and sits on Lake Hood. There are private floatplanes docked all around the lake. The time change started hitting us, so we got a quick dinner at the restaurant and called it a night.
