Alaska Airlines from Fort Myers, FL to Huntington Tri-State Airport

Some people think the only people who would willingly move from the sunny climes of Fort Myers, Florida to Tri-State Airport in scenic Huntington are either stark raving mad or insufferable comedians. Personally, I like to believe I’m both.

Booking flights from the southern sunshine to the slightly chillier northern parts, may sound counterintuitive. However, being the dutiful humorist I am, I decided to add some quirky fun to the process. Let’s just say if I can’t bring sunshine to the north, at least I can carry a tropical attitude!

You've heard of Superman's one-way trip from Krypton to Smallville, but let’s talk about airline’s One-way trips, less spectacular, yet essential. If you're like me, someone who enjoys a clean start to a day aboard a reliable plane like Alaska Airlines, then you probably prefer Direct flights. That's right – wake up in Fort Myers, FL, and go to sleep under the twinkling Huntington stars, all with the help of non-stop flights. Pass on the layover. Who needs an extra landing and take-off when you can have a direct route to your destination? The world is enough of a roller coaster as it is!

Traveling on such flights might feel like a journey to the arctic, and to keep with the theme, did you know that Alaska doesn't have daylight saving time? Yes, despite living with nearly 24 hours of darkness or sunlight depending on the season, Alaskans decided they had enough on their plate and passed on the idea of changing their clocks every few months. Who can blame them? I can't even remember if I need to push my clock forward or backward half the time. Anyway, this peculiar time fact is certainly something you should keep in mind as you plan your trip, you can't 'spring forward' or 'fall back' when you're flying against time!

So, what about Airfare? I’m sure you’re wondering if this ‘direct destination’ convenience comes with a hefty price tag, right? Not at all. My dear future traveler, I tell you this not to brag, but to enlighten: savvy frequent flyer that I am, I have figured out the secret to snagging the best flight deals. The key? Patience and a side dish of random searches at odd hours. You'd be amazed what you'll find at 3.14am on Pi Day. That’s how I found affordable, good ol’ Economy class seats with an option for an upgrade to Premium Economy for a few extra bucks. I thought the ‘premium’ might confer some special powers, so I took up the deal. Alas, I can't turn invisible!

Please remember, besides your radiant persona and golf clubs, don’t forget to check your Baggage allowance. You can carry the brightness of Fort Myers to Huntington, but not always in the form of a massive, sun-shaped lamp. On these flights, you'll find the staff to be as friendly and radiant as the Fort Myers sun, but even they have their limits!

Let me tell you, from my unquenchable curiosity to your eager ears, all this knowledge wasn't gained by looking into a crystal ball. Reviews, my friends! Thorough Airline reviews can be your guiding light. You won't need a compass or GPS when you make the brilliant decision to read some first-hand accounts from travelers who’ve braved the path before you.

So, if you're ever looking to swap the Florida sun for the thrill of a chilly Huntington breeze, remember my words. Make your journey, whether it’s a One-way ticket to new beginnings or a Round-trip voyage of discovery, a true testament to the adventurer in you. With services like Direct flights, do not fear the cold. Remember, we are all explorers who carry our own sunshine!
