Single achievement

Our Shortest Route

This is a virtual airline achievement created by Alaska Airlines.

The shortest route in our schedule, at only 31 nautical miles between the two airports yet surrounded with stunning mountains, islands and rivers, this achievement will see you fly our shortest route.

This route is included in our famous Milk Run journey that we fly each day from Seattle all the way up to Anchorage, stopping at several small and remote airports along the way.

We'll be taking off from Petersburg...

Petersburg is a small, vibrant town with about 3,000 permanent residents, located on the northern tip of wooded Mitkof Island in the heart of the Tongass National Forest. The charm of this quaint, coastal town is derived from its friendly people and the surrounding Alaska wilderness. Here, you can relax away from the crowds, as the town is not a port of call for large cruise ships, which are unable to navigate the Wrangell Narrows, a winding, scenic waterway between Mitkof and Kupreanof islands. Lovely, hospitable Petersburg is a traditional fishing community that proudly celebrates its Norweigian heritage and still makes its living from the sea, with commercial and pleasure boats dominating area waters.

We'll be landing at Wrangell - Located at the tip of Wrangell Island across from the mouth of the Stikine River, Wrangell is a gem in the heart of Tongass National Forest.

Surrounded by islands, mountains, rivers and beauty that will astound any visitor, our friendly little town provides easy access to the Stikine, the last truly wild river in British Columbia and one of the great fishing spots in the world. Adventure is easy to find in Wrangell, from flightseeing over the snow-capped coastal range and glaciers to visiting Anan Bear and Wildlife Observatory for an up-close bear experience. Downtown offers shops, galleries and restaurants with varied menus, but most feature local seafood.
