Since the state enjoys about 22 hours of sun on its longest days of summer, those traveling from Phoenix will want to make sure they have their sunglasses in their carry-on bags. While there\u2019s certainly novelty value, it may also help visitors make the most of their time there, as most people will naturally adjust their sleeping schedule based on daylight. So you may end up spending less time sleeping, and more time exploring.<\/p>\n<p>Travelers located a little further north than Phoenix or Las Vegas also have new flight options. Alaska Airlines announced late last year more than a dozen new routes, including direct flights to Anchorage from Boise, Idaho; Spokane, Washington; and Boston, Massachusetts. <\/p>\n<p>Travelers keen to visit parts of Alaska other than Anchorage are also in luck, as a handful of airlines are resuming seasonal routes to Fairbanks and Juneau. Delta is bringing back its seasonal Minneapolis-to-Fairbanks route, and United will restart seasonal service to Fairbanks from both Chicago and Denver. There\u2019s also one new option for Juneau, which isn\u2019t connected by road to the rest of Alaska. To visit, you\u2019ll be able to fly direct from Seattle on Delta this summer (or catch a flight on Alaska Airlines, which also serves Juneau from Seattle year-round). <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-ender wow-me lazy\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" style=\"width:15px;height:15px;\" src=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-ender\" src=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" style=\"width:15px;height:15px;\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>window.dataLayer=window.dataLayer||[],dataLayer.push({\"gtm.start\":(new Date).getTime(),event:\"gtm.js\"}),window.GoogleAnalyticsObject=\"ga\",window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)},ga.l=1*new Date,window.allGa=function(){},window.fbq=window.fbq||function(){fbq.callMethod?fbq.callMethod.apply(fbq,arguments):fbq.queue.push(arguments)},window._fbq||(window._fbq=fbq),fbq.push=fbq,fbq.loaded=!0,fbq.version=\"2.0\",fbq.queue=[],window.mnTrack=()=>{},window.enableTracking=()=>{function a(){dataLayer.push(arguments)}if(window.isTrackingConsentNeeded=!1,window.dataLayer=window.dataLayer||[],dataLayer.push({eu_c:2}),[\"https:\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js\",\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtm.js?id=GTM-59BP9J\",\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js\",\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=G-QKD85ZJNHR\"].forEach(function(a){var e=document.createElement(\"script\");e.async=!0,e.src=a,document.head.appendChild(e)}),window.ua_enabled)for(var e of window.ga_properties)ga(\"create\",e.tracking_id,e.cookie_domain,{name:e.name,allowLinker:!0});if(window.ga4_enabled){var n={};for(var o in window.ga_custom_vars)n[window.ga_dimension_definitions[o]]=o;a(\"js\",new Date),a(\"config\",\"G-QKD85ZJNHR\",{custom_map:n})}for(var o in window.ga_custom_vars)window.ua_enabled&&ga(\"set\",window.ga_dimension_definitions[o],ga_custom_vars[o]),window.ga4_enabled&&a(\"event\",o+\"_dimension\",{[o]:ga_custom_vars[o]});if(allGa=function(){if(arguments.length){var a=[].slice.call(arguments);ga(function(){for(var e=a[0],n=ga.getAll(),o=0;o<n.length;o++)a[0]=n[o].get(\"name\")+\".\"+e,ga.apply(ga,a)})}},allGa(\"set\",\"anonymizeIp\",!0),mnTrack=(e=\"\",n={})=>{if(window.ga4_enabled&&!n.no_ga4&&a(\"event\",e,n),n.no_ga4&&delete n.no_ga4,window.ua_enabled){var o=[\"send\",\"event\"];\"page_view\"===e?(o[0]=\"send\",o[1]=\"pageview\",o[2]=void 0!==n.slug?n.slug:\"\",o=o.concat(n)):(o[2]=e,o[3]=void 0!==n.action?n.action:\"\",o[4]=void 0!==n.label?n.label:\"\",o[5]=void 0!==n.value?n.value:0,o[6]=void 0!==n.nonInteraction?{nonInteraction:1}:{}),allGa.apply(!1,o)}},mnTrack(\"page_view\",{no_ga4:!0}),fbq(\"dataProcessingOptions\",[\"LDU\"],0,0),fbq(\"init\",\"890302741001574\"),fbq(\"track\",\"PageView\"),!window.disableAds){var t=document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],i=document.createElement(\"script\");i.async=!0,i.src=\"https:\/\/securepubads.g.doubleclick.net\/tag\/js\/gpt.js\",t.parentNode.insertBefore(i,t)}},\/(^| )(CONSENT=2|EU=\\(null\\))(;|$)\/.test(document.cookie)?enableTracking():window.isTrackingConsentNeeded=!\/(^| )CONSENT=0(;|$)\/.test(document.cookie);<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Southwest news may be the most exciting for a larger group of people, a new flight to Anchorage from Phoenix, Arizona, may appeal to a certain type of traveler \u2014 those dedicated to seeing the actual midnight sun.
