JS from ANC to EWR or PHL

Hey my trip is ending in ANC on the 3rd and was Courious if you all have a direct flight to either EWR or PHL on the 4th? If so, how does one book it?

Thanks from a Fedex guy

Sorry, none going to either.

I think we only operate EWR-ANC a few times a week. But none the other direction. B767 guys would know more.

The east bound MDs and B747s go SDF and ONT

Thanks for the reply. I was looking for an excuse to ride you before I retire. Will have to wait another day.

767 goes ANC to RFD, except when the MD breaks

I don't think we've been doing ANC-RFD for several months now, fwiw

Hi everyone,

I work for an airline in Alaska and I would like to have some info about jumpseating from EWR to ANC.

I know the route is operated on a 767, I would like to know what is the seating arrangement of this aircraft, and if someone would be able to sleep on the seats. Is the recline good any good ?

Is this route very busy with UPS or other airline jumpseaters ?
Is there a shuttle from EWR passenger terminal to the UPS offices ?

Finally, being that the flight leaves early in the morning, I would have to commute to EWR the evening before, is there any place to hangout at the UPS office or should I just sit an wait at the airport main terminal?

Sorry for the multiple questions, I appreciate all of your time into my request.

Thank you and have a nice day.

There is no shuttle from the EWR terminal to the UPS operations. You will have to walk or take a uber.

There is a small room with about 5 recliners and a tv in which you can wait. There is also a small room with I think two twin beds.

I'm not able to answer your other questions sorry.

I rarely see a jumpseater. There are three fold down jumpseats against the rear cockpit bulkhead. The observer seat is a little more comfortable than the actual jumpseats. I doubt anyone would care if you went prone across the three seats.
