Answer 2

Unfortunately, there are not a lot of non-stops between a number of eastern and mid-western cities and Alaska. So that means it may take a bit longer. The good news is there's a 4 or 5 hour time difference (depending on daylight savings time) so when you arrive, you'll find it's still earlier in the day in Fairbanks. That said, it could take about 7-8 hours to fly from the mid-west to Fairbanks, because you will probably have to make a stop, perhaps in Los Angeles or Seattle.
