Longer flights. When HKG was locked down, did ANC-HKG-TPE or ANC-SDF-DXB. SDF is usually a domestic leg or SDF-CGN or SDF-HNL. In my honest opinion, you'll probably be off your seat lock before you'll get SDF 74.

Thats sort of old news in my opinion. International fleets have higher credit in general, plus there’s the international override. But the money train was due to frequent late arrivals and tons of premiums from schedule changes and deadheads. That doesn’t happen much that often anymore, at least in my experience. I just had my first late arrival of 2022 in august, and I don’t get many schedule revisions anymore these days. ANC 74 FO here.

It wouldn’t shock me if they hold SDF in less than 18 months. Possibly a lot less. If layovers start to dramatically improve in Asia, that timeline may go longer.

With the increase in resport times in ANC, I'm sure a lot of people are ready to leave ANC. Plus like you said, with countries opening up again, Airbus guys are bidding the 74. Also with a possible displacement on the MD, there's always a possibility guys want the 74 in SDF.

Folks, sorry to hijack your thread, but didn’t know where else to post. Just have a quick question. I land at 6 pm into SDF and wanted to catch a commute home. Online is showing 3 flights back to MIA at 7, 8, and 8:30. Come from the pax terminal, what’s the best way to get there and how much time should I give myself? Is catching the 7 pm flight back a long shot? TIA!

May want to check those flight times again. The last flight out that I see is at 425. All of our flights are listed in Zulu, not local, which may be the cause of confusion.

As far as getting to UPS from the terminal, our van can’t take you, so you’ll need an Uber/Lyft or cab.

Oof I totally missed that. Thanks for clarifying! I figured I’d have to Uber/Lyft, but how long is that trip? 15-20 min?

allow at least 20 minutes to be safe getting through security and the shuttle to the air service center. From there maybe 20 to the plane. Doing that math, things would have to go exactly right to make it in an hour.
