Alaska Airlines from Deadhorse Airport to Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport

Well, if you thought going on a trip was all fun and games, let's take a trip from Deadhorse Airport, Alaska to Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport. I assure you, it will no doubt be the upgraded, infinitely-more-glamourous version of the Winterfell to King's Landing stagecoach trip.

Now, the savvy traveler, which of course you are, would be thinking, where do I start? The answer ladies and gents, is by looking at flights! Unless, that is, you're fond of the umpteen hour drive along thousands of miles of winding roads. Oh, and did I forget to mention the occasional bear asking for a free ride? Hunting for direct flights may be tougher than finding a needle in a haystack, because - newsflash! - they don't exist. Your journey will probably involve connecting flights which can often sound as exciting as watching paint dry.

And while we're on the subject, here's a random fun fact about Alaska for trivia night. Did you know that Alaska is the only state that can be typed on one row of a traditional English QWERTY keyboard? Score brownie points with that one at a party!

Now where was I? Ah, yes! One-way or round-trip, your airfare will be a slight gut punch. But don't you worry! This is where the 'best time to book' comes into play. Just like the secret ingredient of your grandma's sweet chili sauce, the secret to cheap flights is timing. We're talking last-minute flights or red-eye flight; you see, it's all about when the demand's low, just like those 'out of fashion' items in a thrift store.

Now, once you've mastered the art of booking flights and have your precious air-ticket in hand, it's crucial that you remember airline reviews are your new favorite bedtime reading material. Trust me, you really don't want to be the person stuck in the wrong aisle with no legroom or near the over-enthusiastic air conditioning vent.

Now, let's talk the brass tacks of airline travel beyond airfare. Yes, you guessed it, I'm talking about 'Baggage allowance'. Like that guy at the supermarket checkout with 100 coupons, get to know your allowances. It saves you the awkward 'one minute please' at check-in as you repack your underwear into your carry-on bag.

And while we're discussing the survival tactics, let's not forget frequent flyer programmes. Miles might be the international unit of measuring distance, but to smart travellers, it's the international currency of air travel. Join that mileage program! When the agent asks, "Do you have our mileage customer card?" The answer should always be, "Why, of course. Here it is!"

I won't even get started on the debate of Business class vs Economy class vs Premium Economy vs First-class. That's a boxing match saved for another day. Hang on... I need to make sure my fight bell is in working order for that one.

Last, but by no means least; your flight's cancellation policy. It is as important as remembering to put on your pants before stepping out in public. You don't want to be caught off-guard when life throws a curveball and you need to change your plans.

So, there you have your survival guide to flying Alaska from Deadhorse to Rhode Island. Fasten your seatbelts, grab a bag of peanuts - it's going to be a wild ride!
