Alaska Airlines from Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo to Greenville Spartanburg International Airport

I know, I know, the idea of hopping onto a cramped flying tin can for hours on end is wildly exciting. And wouldn’t the perfect cherry on top be if it departed from the tropical paradise of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and ended in the metropolitan oasis that is Greenville Spartanburg International Airport? Ah, just pure bliss isn’t it? Waving goodbye to the palm trees and welcoming the concrete jungle. Well, if that doesn’t get your heart racing with joy, I don’t know what will!

Better still, imagine sitting in that seat (preferably an Economy class because, let’s face it, there might be second mortgages needed for Business class tickets) envious of all those lucky souls enjoying various in-flight services. But good news, dear traveler! Alaska Airlines would never dream of making you feel left out. Packed with an array of in-flight services, they’re desperate to make you forget that you’ve left the shores of Ixtapa and are bound for South Carolina. And if you’re lucky, you just might achieve an uninterrupted, deep sleep only attained in the Frontier of The Last Frontier of America's airlines.

But hold on a second, before we navigate through this utopian flight, I must appeal to your rationality. This is a perfect opportunity to tap into your inner frugality and secure those elusive cheap flights! If you're savvy about your airfare choices, you could potentially save some cash to splurge on a delicious airport pretzel for your layover. It's simple logic, really.

Did you know that the best time to book a flight is typically on a Tuesday at 3 p.m eastern time? Don’t ask me how, when, or why that gem of wisdom was discovered, it’s an Alaskan secret. Why Alaskan, you ask? Because this airline is just as intriguing as its namesake state. For instance, did you know that Alaska is the only state that can type out its full name on a single row of a QWERTY keyboard? Fascinating, I know. Make sure to drop that knowledge bomb next time you’re stuck in a lull at parties. Back to the point – book those tickets on Tuesday and save some greens!

For the journey-oriented individuals among you, may I suggest considering the flight duration and opting for round-trip tickets? The joy of going through security twice, spending more time in the air, experiencing layovers, or better yet, the thrill of connecting flights - can a journey be any more enjoyable? I think not!

Let's talk airline reviews. They’re not just useful, they’re golden. Their importance becomes crystal clear when you find yourself stuck at an airport at 2 a.m because the pilot needed an impromptu beauty sleep. So, search those reviews, discern facts hidden between the lines of caps lock rants, and arm yourself with information! It's a jungle out there, survival of the fittest and all.

Let's not forget the frequent flyer and their best friend, the mileage program. They make you feel like an absolute rockstar, walking down the aisle of the plane, whizzing through first-class, cruising straight to your ultra-plush middle seat in the back. Earning points never felt so glamorous.

And how can one neglect the enchanting allure of flight deals – those promising siren songs, luring unsuspecting travelers to spend more, but feel like they’re saving. A paradox, truly.

So, dear traveler, throw caution to the wind and embark on this journey of flying from the serene beaches of Ixtapa to the bustling civilization of Greenville Spartanburg via Alaska Airlines. After all, it’s not just a flight, no, it’s an adventure!
