Alaska is far enough west that our antipode is pushed towards South Africa. No Fairbanks option, so I did Anchorage:

ETA: I'm a bit surprised Antananarivo, Madagascar doesn't sneak in. I'm presuming it's a bit too far north compared to South Africa. Checking on a distance calculator, Anchorage to Antananarivo is 15,115 km. Perth is "only" 13,299 km.
Checking for Fairbanks, the order is the same but the distances go *down* by 300 km or so. Fairbanks is far enough north that the great circle to South Africa bends closer to the pole than the Anchorage path, so you save quite a bit on longitudinal distance.
