Alaska Airlines from Calgary to Tulsa International Airport

Oh, I see you're travelling from Canada's frozen wonderland, Calgary, to the bustling city of Tulsa. Your magic carpet ride of choice, is Alaska Airlines. Brace yourself for a journey filled with sarcasm, fun trivia, curated advice, and random facts about an U.S. state that’s not even on the main piece of land - yes, ‘Alaska’ we’re talking about you.

Let's set some context here for our travels, first, shall we? The good news is, for the most part, there are no direct flights from Calgary to Tulsa. Great, isn’t it? Well, didn't you always dream of revitalizing your soul by spending quality time at airport terminals and scrutinizing the extent of airplane food? It's all about embracing the adventure.

On a serious note, you do get connecting flights with a layover, and, ironically, the one-way and round-trip airfares are quite reasonable. Cheap flights? Nah, we'd rather call it ‘Exhibit A of beneficiary exchange rate standards.’

Oh, and if you're feeling extra adventurous (someone give this risk-taker a trophy), you could brave a red-eye flight. Who needs sleep anyway? Right? Especially when you can dodge insomnia by watching the four movies they tirelessly keep repeating in the in-flight services. So much for airline diversity.

Now, if you're somewhere between frugal and fancy (Premium Economy, we're looking at you), you'll have just the right combination of leg space and baggage allowance. Fly like a business class rock star, without actually having to forfeit your mortgage. Luxury at its best!

However, if your bank balance casually hangs out with six zeros and you're less about the budget, more about comfort, why not go all out and splurge on first-class? After all, what's more satisfying than establishing dominance over your co-passengers with a recliner seat, extra legroom and ostentatious inflight meals - all while they're cramming their legs into the economy class?

And let’s not forget Alaska Air’s generous frequent flyer mileage program. Look at them playing at being Santa Claus, randomly gifting air miles to patrons. Trust them, you rack up enough and you could be flying business class for free. The gift that keeps on giving.

Now that we’ve covered the ton of choices of travel and the insufferable in-flight entertainment let me give you a bonus piece of trivia about Alaska - the state your chosen airline is named after. Did you know that Alaska is both the westernmost AND the easternmost state of the U.S? Don’t believe me? It's the truth. Just check on the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait. They wrap right around the 180º line of Longitude. It’s almost as if they couldn’t decide where they wanted to sit on the map.

Just like the indecisiveness of the Diomede Islands, when is the best time you might ask, to book your tickets from Calgary to Tulsa via the all-mighty Alaska Airlines? Well, you might as well spin a fairy tale wheel, because going by past trends, it would seems as though anytime and last-minute flights are as good as any. Classic aviation industry, making a mystery out of flight schedules and deals.

And remember, you're going to need divine intervention for a flight cancellation, though the cancellation policy does state they will re-accommodate you. But if Alaska Airlines is known for anything, let’s hold our breath for a right-on-time flight for once, from Calgary to Tulsa.

Safe travels, dear voyager, on your journey across the borders. Welcome to the world of pun-intended travel listens. Brace yourself and keep that sarcasm detector handy.
