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.
By plane [edit]. 1  Alaska Airlines [1] offers several daily flights from Fairbanks and Anchorage. 2  Era Airlines (Frontier Flying Service formerly, and before that Cape Smythe Air) now also offers air service from Fairbanks.
