We <3 Condor Airlines, which recently resumed their seasonal flights to Frankfurt (just 9.5 hours NONSTOP). Not just from Anchorage, either. Fly Fairbanks-Frankfurt nonstop and Whitehorse-Frankfurt nonstop, too!
The nonstops to Europe are aboard a recently-retrofitted 767-300ER aircraft with three cabins: Economy, Premium Economy and Business. And lovely staff (pictured, right!).
CONGRATULATIONS in advance to those winners in our SWAG contest. I have a big pile of keyrings, hats, inflatable planes…the works. So, if you get an email from me…it’s because I need your ADDRESS to send it out! HAHA.
