Hello I would like to know how to get to Fairbanks from anchorage.

Airplane, railroad, bus, drive, bicycle, walk.  Do you have any travel constraints or any decision-making criteria from which a more detailed  or reasoned list of alternatives can be provided?

Generally, multiple airlines can be written on a single ticket regardless if they "codeshare" with one another. It was very common to have multiple carriers on a single ticket prior to the modern codesharing era (particularly with Pan American World Airways, which had no meaningful domestic route network within the United States). Travel agents have to fill out the fare calculation grid carefully, in the absence of a through fare, to ensure that the fare is split and distributed to each carrier properly. The only significant exception to this general rule has traditionally been Southwest Airlines, which has always required a separate ticket (so as to avoid liability issues in the case of some type of disruption to service). Perhaps some more carriers also now insist on separate tickets, but the general rule is that multiple airlines can be on a single ticket regardless of codeshare marketing agreements.
