Alaska Airlines from Everett to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport

Did you know that in Alaska, it’s illegal to whisper in someone’s ear while they’re moose hunting? Yep! While that might provide a chuckle, it’s unlikely any of our fellow airplane passengers have recently fallen foul of such a quirky rule. So, let's get serious (or rather, half-serious, since we're here for some travel fun), and discuss what an unforgettable, exhilarating (and hopefully moose-free) experience you can have by hopping on a flight from the charming city of Everett to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Flying, especially with Alaska Airlines, can feel like a thrilling rollercoaster ride of airfare dips and turns, layovers, and those ‘blink and you’ll miss them’ flight deals! But don't worry folks, don your aviator sunglasses and buckle-up because we're going on an entertaining odyssey advising how to survive traveling from the Evergreen State to the Free Nation.

First things first, dust off those Spiderman pajamas, go heavy on the night cream, and restock your stash of energy bars for the dreaded Red-eye flight scenario. Alas, the night-time odyssey can be your best bet for pocket-friendly airfares. It might not be everybody's first choice, but hey, there’s something otherworldly about soaring over the country under the moonlight. And remember, Spiderman pajamas are optional, (but highly recommended).

So, you’ve survived the red-eye, landed at the historic BWI Marshall Airport and lo and behold, you've bagged yourself a layover. Fear not! The BWI airport is a hotspot for tasty crab cakes and, surprise, surprise! Even more flights! Spend your layover perusing through more options for your next journey while munching away on some delicious local cuisine.

Now, are you the kind of traveler who likes to put their feet up, sip on a crisp Chardonnay, and relish the leg space? Then, my friend, a seat in the business class on Alaska Airlines is your calling. It is a tad pricier than the economy class, but then again, comfort and quality seldom come cheap. But wait, if that's a bridge too far for your bank balance, don't discount the delights of Premium economy. It's like the avocado in your salad - not the main ingredient, but makes the whole dish a lot better!

One may think that the best time to book this thrill ride extravaganza, also known as flying, is as soon as possible. But hold on to your feather cap! The airfare often drops to irresistible levels closer to the departure dates, and those last-minute flights are as tantalizing as a slice of chocolate cake on a diet day!

You need a plan, a strategy. You need to be aware of the flight schedule, understand the magic of Direct flights and the charm of one-way tickets. It's like chess, but with planes. Not that kind of chess-playing pilot who famously landed on the Hudson, though. Never that.

Ensure you're savvy on the weight rules if you want to avoid the dreaded Baggage allowance sour faces. Our advice? Toss all the clothes in your bag and take out half. Toss all your money on the bed and take double. It's the golden rule of travel right there!

Finally, before you jump on that plane from Everett to BWI, don't forget to check out Alaska Airlines' frequent flyer plan and the in-flight services they offer (our fingers are crossed for decent cheese and crackers). Enjoying the rewards from their Mileage program while flying above the clouds, now that’s what we call being on cloud nine (literally).

The journey from deciding to book a flight to finally settling down in your allocated window or aisle seat is a crazy, unpredictable, and humorous ride, kind of like a visit to a family Thanksgiving dinner. And Alaska Airlines has all the right ingredients to whip up a memorable experience, ever respectful of your personal space, even if you're a moose-hunting whisperer from Alaska! Enjoy your travels!
