OK here's another crazy idea. MSP-DTW-NRT-BKK. Seems getting to DTW will be a non issue. And looks like flights out of DTW to NRT don't look as full as from MSP. Up front to NRT would be great. Me and the kids are gonna try to get to ANC on 29DEC for New Years with some friends. (Stupid question alert) Why are most flight I look at from MSP to ANC overbooked in coach and open in first? Then when I get there first is always full?

Thanks for the massage idea. Had one on a beach on Koh Chang in 2006 all I can say is....WOW.
