That's what the Alaska Airlines site said earlier today, as well as Friday and I think Saturday: "All Anchorage flights have been suspended for the remainder of Monday due to Mt. Redoubt."
Good thing Martin managed to make it back Sunday from Yakutat. His flight from Yakutat hopped to Cordova, then they apparently sat and sat on the tarmack. Finally, they were allowed to fly to Anchorage. Apparently all that waiting was so that in Anchorage, the ash from Redoubt could be cleared off the runway and taxiway.
Seems like Matt got caught in the Redoubt cancellations too. People from work also. Martin's sister and her boyfriend just made it out at midnight Wednesday, and I think the first eruption was Thursday morning. Makes me wonder how long does a volcano rumble and distort people's lives?
And, apparently some of the ash made it to Fairbanks, but I haven't noticed it yet...

Yeah--nice to be home! I was talking w/ someone on the planes, and last time Redoubt did its thing (1989-90) it erupted for ~4 months. So it could be travel fun through the summer, maybe...
