Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, members of the order include deinotheres, gomphotheres, mammoths, and mastodons.
This in part because Delta goes directly to Sitka, while the Alaska Airlines flight usually bobs, making a stop in Juneau or Ketchikan that eats up an extra hour.
Most travelers choose to fly into Anchorage because it has lots to offer in the way of recreation and lodging; itâs also easy to jump to other parts of the state from here. If youâre planning to fly into Fairbanks or Juneau, keep in mind that Alaska Airlines does fly non-stop to those cities from Seattle.
