Alaska Airlines from Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo to Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport

Step right up ladies and gentlemen, and splash out your pesetas on a one-way ticket to exhilaration, from the balmy beaches of Ixtapa to Rogue Valley International-Medford? Yes, fond vacationers, if you are considering jetting off into the azure for this journey, there is an airline eager to encompass you into its metal bosom: Alaska Airlines. Injected with a dash of intimacy, a pinch of reliability, and a strong dose of humor, Alaska ranks as the flying circus of the sky.

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering - Why choose Alaska? The answer is more straightforward than finding a cheetah in a haystack. With their exclusive promotions and "take it or leave us alone" flight deals, Alaska Airlines puts a warm, money-saving grin on your face while accommodating your traveling needs. And to bulk up your frequent flyer miles, they also offer their unique, tongue-tingling Mileage program. Oh, and is the ‘direct flights’ feature mentioned? You bet it is! No pesky layovers here, no sir. It's all non-stop fun in the clouds.

A little bird (well actually, a large moose) has told me an interesting fact about the great state of Alaska. Did you know that the state flag was designed by a 13-year old boy? Maybe that’s why Alaska Airlines strives to maintain that simplicity and fun-loving touch. It's all about embracing your inner 13-year old in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

As for navigating the skies, it’s a dazzling sight. And wouldn’t you know, Alaska has decided to further magnify your experiences by serving exclusive in-flight services such as fine dining, exquisite wines, and unparalleled entertainment. These perks help you enjoy the flight duration, even if you’re in Economy class. If, however, you decide to go ‘all in’ and rock out in First-class, fun is scribbled on the label. Don't let the tidy, pressed uniforms fool you; Alaska’s crew are ready to toss out the rule book at cruising altitude. Just kidding… they are professional above all, but aren’t scared of a little fun.

The cherry on this high-flying sundae? Baggage allowance. Well within the realms of generosity, they practically invite you to bring your kitchen sink with you. After all, what is a vacation without the familiar "crrrrgghh" of your comforting, old coffee machine in the mornings?

To get the best bang for your buck, I should whisper a couple of words into your ear. Cheap flights. Yes, few things sound as sweet. But when is the best time to book to snag those cheap tickets? According to my crystal ball (also known as Google), the prime booking window is about 21 days ahead of your journey. Of course, if spontaneity is your middle name, last-minute flights are also up, with Alaska Airlines’ flight schedule updated faster than a cheetah on roller skates.

So, you are sold, bag and baggage, ready to fly with the airline that is as wild and untamed as the state it's named after. But, what if life happens, and you need to cancel? Luckily, the airline has a lenient flight cancellation policy which is much more forgiving than that vindictive alarm clock of yours. You have 24 hours from the time of your original booking to cancel your reservation without being charged a cancellation fee. All about the giving, isn’t it?

Albeit this might sound like a salesman’s spiel, the airline reviews would beg to differ. Alaska has received rave reviews that would make a Hollywood blockbuster faint. So, my dear traveler, the sky is the limit (quite literally) when you journey with our pals from the wilderness. Welcome aboard, the splendid, the eccentric, the one, and only – Alaska Airlines.
