    Many Alaskans will receive their annual Permanent Fund dividend direct-deposit payout on Oct. 1. The amount is $1,200, which includes a $200 “energy relief” payment. Nobody will fault Alaska Airlines for jumping the gun, rolling out its annual PFD airfare sale earlier this week, on Sept. 22. Travelers across the state, especially in off-the-road-system destinations like Bethel, Sitka, Cordova and Kodiak, are pulling out their calendars and making plans. Unlike Anchorage and Fairbanks, which

    Alaska’s Emerald Isle also is known as a sportsman’s paradise. Anglers who fish the many wilderness rivers around the island pack their waders, their rods and reels and assorted gear. Hunters on the lookout for deer or elk pack their own rifles. Deep-sea anglers can get by with a little less checked luggage, as charter operators typically have all the rods and reels you need to catch salmon, halibut, cod or rockfish.

Nonstop flights are the best, even if we have to go to Seattle to catch them. In Anchorage, there’s just one summertime flight to Europe on Condor Air. Last year, as Alaska Airlines was celebrating its all-new service from Seattle to Rome, London and Reykjavik, Delta added a nonstop to the Eternal City plus another never-before-served cit
