Alaska Airlines from Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport to St. Louis

Oh, congratulations on considering moving from the Land of Lincoln to the Gateway City! And, by 'moving', I mean partaking in the never-ending thrill-ride that is air travel, and doing so on the luxurious airline named after the biggest, coldest, and bear-populated state - Alaska Airlines. Believe me, there's nothing quite like sitting in a metal tube, traveling at an astonishingly rapid speed, thousands of feet up in the air. Isn't modern life truly fantastic?

I’m sure you've got stars in your eyes and adrenaline pumping through your veins at the mere thought of scanning through flight deals from good old Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport to the bustling city of St. Louis. What could be more exciting than finding a flight with the perfect combination of price and flight duration to suit your deep-seated need for torturous economy class comfort? Maybe finding two dollars on the street, but I don’t want to raise your expectations too much.

Moving right along, let’s not forget the joy of embarking on a labyrinthine quest of choosing between non-stop and connecting flights. Exquisite! For your information, direct flights offer the exclusive pleasure of cutting down time, while layovers pit you against time management, navigation of foreign airports, and sprinting skills when you invariably need to make it to the departure gate in less than 5 minutes. Aren't choices just magnificent?

Hang on tight, because you won’t believe this - Alaska Airlines offers a bountiful ethos of baggage allowance. You can bring along half of your earthly possessions and fit them overhead or under the seat in front of you. Highly practical, right? Don't forget to bring along that antique grandfather clock, the one that's been gathering dust in your attic. I heard St. Louis could really use more clocks.

Alaska Airlines also offers the in-flight services of your wildest dreams. Want to immerse yourself in a cringe-worthy romantic comedy that’s three sequels too deep? You got it! Yearn for an ice-cold refreshment? Just remember to savor the half can of soda, it’s incredibly rare. A cocktail for the high-spirited soul? Expect a cocktail so invigorating that it takes 20 minutes off your flight time; or it at least it feels that way after three mini bottles of gin.

And as you lap up the height of this luxurious experience, clutching your bated breath with every mild turbulence, bear in mind Alaska Airline's magnificent frequent flyer program. Each mile you sail through the clouds will leave an indelible mark on your profile. Your bravery rewards - a new level attained! Bragging rights included. Skim through enough clouds, and you might just earn that coveted upgrade to premium economy. Who knows?

Imagine tucking into a slightly larger-than-economy seat— the epitome of space luxury— with a bit more of that oh-so-abundant legroom. Which, hold your horse-drawn-chariot, even gives you the privilege to stretch out fully if you’re a Lilliputian, or a very flexible contortionist.

And as you embark on this flight of fancy, let your thoughts wander to the state that our good airline takes its name – Alaska. Ah, Alaska! Known for its grandeur, its glaciers, and, oh, those jovial gigantic bears that totally do not inspire any childhood traumas from watching too much “Brother Bear.” Did you know that it’s the only state that can fit the state of Rhode Island in it over 425 times? ‘Big’ would be an understatement, kind of like saying air travel is a ‘mild’ adrenaline sport.

So, pack up your sense of adventure or just your pajamas, because that red-eye flight is going to shed a whole new light on the phrase "sweet dreams." And well, if you happen to change your mind last minute because you suddenly developed an unfortunate 'fear of flying' (coward), fret not! Alaska Airlines has a super chill flight cancellation policy. It’s not like they enjoy overbooking flights or anything. Bon voyage, my intrepid traveler. See you on the other side!
