Alaska Airlines from Fort Myers, FL to Dulles International Airport

Looking to escape the humidity of Fort Myers for the chilly charm of Anchorage? Been dreaming of seeing a moose whilst sipping warm tea from your cabin window? Well, you’re in luck! Today we're going to go on a romp of a journey that you'd better strap your seatbelt tight for. We're not flying to Alaska, but going on an aerial carnival via Alaska Airlines, the airline so good it has the audacity to name itself after the 49th state...and gets away with it!

Prepare your Verizon miles card at the ready because we’re talking “Flights”. Future frequent flyers, there are both non-stop or round-trip flights available for your selection. Gravitate towards the 'round-trip' option, unless you have an unusual fondness of sleeping amidst Fort Myers' alligators. Both options can be made into a farcical game of ‘guess the flight duration.’ For an extra layer of fun, the nearest guess gets an exclusive mug no one else in the flight will probably have. Exciting? We think so!

But before we plunge into the airfare deals, let’s engage in some whimsical trivia. Did you know that despite having an aircraft named after it, Alaska is the only state that can be typed on one row of a standard keyboard? It might sound like a useless fact, but it's the perfect ice-breaker at 30,000 feet when your neighbor has an uncanny resemblance to Nicholas Cage and seems to be disconcertingly quiet!

We'll dive into the labyrinth of airfare next. For both non-stop and round-trip rides, economy class comes at a price that even an Alaskan moose would find reasonable. However, if you wish to bathe in the luxury of extra legroom, by all means, go for first-class. No one's stopping you. (Remember, just don't mention the price of it to the moose, it might get jealous.)

Now, the pièce de résistance is the flight schedule. Timing is key here. Like getting the last piece of pizza without your hungry family noticing, you have to be crafty with your flight bookings. The best time to book flights is during the ‘off-peak’ periods, where the flight is as empty as a cinema showing a failed reboot of a classic film. Cheaper airfare, fewer people and more room for your bad-movie references. Win-win.

Alaska Airlines prides itself on providing top-notch in-flight services. And why wouldn't they? After all, they’re named after a state that hosts the biggest salmon festival ever. (We're not making this up, Google it!) They understand you’re no salmon, but they don’t compromise on ensuring a smooth flight. You can enjoy meals that will tickle the foodie in you, and make any self-proclaimed gourmet green with envy. If food jargon is your thing, try throwing in 'deliciously aerodynamic hamburgers' into the conversation.

In-line with their customer-first mantra, they offer some comforting flight cancellation policy as well. Unless you’re the spontaneous, last-minute type who happens to live next to an alligator infested swamp (we've all been there), you might want to cancel the flight. Rest assured, Alaska Airlines has a policy that is as smooth as their flights, just avoid the day before or day of cancellation, or you’ll end up feeding your wallet to the alligators.

All in all, flying from Florida to Dulles with Alaska Airlines is a trip that can throw you delightful loops. It’s not just about reaching the destination, it’s about the journey, and here the journey comes with extra servings of fun, facts, food and, if you’re lucky, Nicholas Cage lookalikes. Buckle up and prepare for take-off through this air route of wonders!
