I have a ticket for Barrow at 2 PM but am hoping to get on a morning flight. The flight is full so I wait standby. I am told not to plan on getting on though. The plane is on weather hold so this morning flight is an hour late.
I slept on a bench an was awaken at 4 AM by security and told I had to go through Security again. First I had to talk to an agent who had no idea that 80 people were diverted to Fairbanks from Barrow. Since I was first and there was a plane leaving for Anchorage in 40 minutes, she put me on that plane and got me a seat on the 2 PM flight to Barrow. So, I sit and wait hope for leaving Anchorage to make a meeting at 9 AM. Prudhoe Bay is fogged in now.
Wait, wait, wait. I did fly on the Milkrun plane from Fairbanks to Anchorage. It goes to juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and then Seattle. It is one long flight. I have flown from Juneau to Seattle on that route - took 6 hours. Now I have taken the Fairbanks to Anchorage leg.
