Alaska Airlines from Denver International Airport to Kelowna

Well, aren't you one of the adventurous ones, deciding to exchange the majesty of the Rocky Mountains for the endless beauty of the Okanagan Valley? Oh, I see, you've set your eyes on Alaska Airlines, favorite of Emperor Penguins and Eskimos alike. A fabulous choice to fly from Denver International Airport to this heavenly Canadian nook that always smells faintly of maple syrup and politeness known as Kelowna.

Let's talk flights. Hold on, not just flights: non-stop flights, because, really, who has the time for boring layovers in "have you ever even heard of this place" airports? Now let's be clear from the beginning: expecting direct flights from Denver to Kelowna every other hour is as wishful as expecting a Chihuahua to win the Iditarod- something that happens only in Alaska and your unrealistic dreams. You'll have to settle for excellent connecting flights that will have you admiring Kelowna's breathtaking landscape in less time than it takes to binge-watch the latest Netflix sensation.

Don't have yacht-loads of cash lying around? Heck, who does? Fret not because cheap flights are an option. Yes, you heard that right. The folks at Alaska may reside in igloos and sled around behind huskies, but they know how to make airfare reasonably cheaper than a home in San Francisco. Keep your eyes on the internet and hands on your wallet because last-minute flights and flight deals pop up more frequently than the Kardashians on your newsfeed.

Maybe you've got a stack of frequent flyer miles, or you're a member of their mileage program. If that's the case, congratulations on arguably one of your life's best choices, right next to not putting pineapple on your pizza. It's as if Alaska Airlines opened their dictionary just to redefine customer loyalty.

Now, about your baggage allowance, remember, your Great Aunt Sally isn't among the approved checked items. High five to you though if you still manage to keep your luggage within limit after loading up with thermal socks, insulated coats, iPods, snacks, and six different charger cords.

Let me drop a fun fact for you while we're at it: Did you know that Alaska has over 3,000 rivers and 3 million lakes? After learning that, one can't help but wonder if Alaska is a massive chunk of land in the middle of waterbodies or it's the other way round. Just adds a certain piquancy to your journey, doesn’t it?

Finally, let's chat about that in-flight service. Oh, yes, there's more than the usual plate of something brown that was once alive. A hint? Think friendly flight attendants, who remembered to put on their 'patient' pants while dealing with passengers, and an entertainment catalog, as diverse as a United Nations general assembly meeting.

Hopefully, this little chat of ours has prepared you for your upcoming journey. After all, travelling with Alaska Airlines is almost as wonderful as discovering extra fries at the bottom of your takeout bag,! And if you end up loving it so much, you decide to book a return trip and make it a round-trip affair, I won't say I told you so. Bon, voyage or however you say that in Alaskan!
