Family of 3 going to Fairbank to hopefully see aurora right before Xmas for 4 days. I hope the sky will be clear but if not, at least not a storm. Will stay near the Poker Flat observatory area and booked an AirBnB with insurance, but the flight cost $2200 and the Allianz insurance with full coverage cost like $250.
Is it worth the risk if I don't? If the storm is bad enough to cancel the departure flight I would rather just cancel the whole thing if Alaska will refund me. Do they do that or I must travel on the next day? If on the return flight got cancelled can I file insurance to have it buy me a ticket going to my next destination (i.e. 2 days later to the east coast instead)?
My plan is back home by 12/24 and then 12/27 leaving for east coast.
