Coastal Alaska is an ideal summer destination — and not just because, with highs hovering in the 60s, it's ideal for a coolcation. Travelers of all stripes can find something to do here, from hiking and wildlife spotting to cultural sites and museums. And you can enjoy them all with nearly 20 hours of daylight each day.
Even better, you can fly nonstop to Anchorage this summer for as few as 12,500 points one-way. Here's how.
(Note that prices and availability were accurate at the time of writing.)

How to find and book TPG’s deal of the day
We recommend starting your search with the handy Seats.aero tool to narrow down your options. Then, head to the airline's website to confirm award availability and book your tickets.
Atmos Rewards has plentiful availability throughout July and August for flights from various U.S. hubs to Anchorage for just 12,500 points plus $5.60.
That's a great deal for this flight from Chicago to Anchorage, which is almost seven hours long — roughly the same length as a transatlantic flight from the East Coast to Europe.
Most of these deals are nonstop, but if you fly from Dallas, you'll have one layover. (Or, you can pay an extra 5,000 points and $13 for the nonstop option on American Airlines — still not bad.)
Not enough Atmos Rewards points in your account for this redemption? You can transfer Bilt Points to Atmos at a 1:1 ratio. Just remember that transfers are irreversible, so always confirm award availability with the airline before transferring your rewards.
