Top tips for flying out of New York (JFK) on Alaska Airlines to Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR)
- Cross the flying squirrel before touching the gate: this friendly reminder is to ensure that you check-in your bags at least 4 hours before the flight when you depart from New York. Trust us, you would rather encounter a rare woodland creature than the unwelcome surprise of your bags vacationing in the Bahamas!
- Embrace the Kafkaesque security procedures: Your frozen smile while going through TSA's labyrinthine series of checks will definitely make their day at JFK Airport. Keep that laptop out, shoes off, and please, hold that boarding pass like your life depends on it.
- Play hide and seek with your flight gate at JFK: Alaska's gates at JFK have a reputation for throwing a surprise party for you. Reconfirm your gate number at the check-in desk, monitor screens religiously and consider asking a friendly passage gnome (aka airport staff) for directions.
- Catch the aurora borealis in economy class: there is no guarantee you will see the real deal, but the uniquely Alaskan themed interior of Alaska Airlines with the soft blue mood lighting might bring the cosmic spectacle right to your economy class seat.
- Land in the land of fortuitous ambiguity at Gerald R. Ford International Airport: in the good spirit of honoring the 38th U.S. president and his love for 'ketchup as a vegetable', remember to consume your in-flight snacks mindfully. There aren’t many culinary delights waiting at Gerald R.
- Interconnectivity Is Not Our Middle Name: Do not let the term 'International' in Gerald R. Ford International Airport make a fool out of you. There's no direct flights to Hogwarts or Narnia. The only direct destinations you're likely to encounter at this airport can be counted on two hands, maybe even one.
- Exit with a salute to Gerald Ford: Do remember to tip your hat, real or imaginary, to the twinkling statue of President Ford as you saunter towards the exit. After all, you have survived a jaunt from New York to Grand Rapids, that's worth a presidential accolade!

Flying on Alaska Airlines from New York to Gerald R. Ford International Airport
Now, strap on those imaginary co-pilot goggles and get ready for a joyride as I regale you with tales of airfare escapades on the well-trodden but oh-so-mystical flight path from the charismatic, chaos-carnival known as New York, to Gerald R. Ford International Airport. Prepare for turbulence-free hilarity, featuring our winged protagonist: the prodigious Alaska Airlines. Make sure your seatbacks are in an upright position, and cabin crew...let’s get going!
To set the geographical scene, in a stark contrast to the vertical obsession of New York City’s jenga architecture, Michigan beckons one and all to its horizontal expanses of 'pleasant peninsulas.' And yes, direct flights to this sublime state's Gerald R. Ford International Airport, named after a president who tripped a lot (Kudos on the humor, Michiganians), is just what Alaska has catalogued in their flight schedule for you.
The mere mention of “direct flights,” is enough to instigate a euphoric jolt among travelers. No mysterious layovers, prolonged pauses at surreally clean airports, or urgently dashing through terminal labyrinths like an out of shape Indiana Jones. Just stow your carry-on and relax.
But wait, I heard you ask, "Advance-Command-Over-Language-Raconteur, what about the airfare?" If you are a 'flightbird' of the last-minute flights' flock, fret not, Alaska Airlines believes in miracles and offers cheap flight deals round the clock. Economy class never felt more royal with fares that don't pinch.
On board the big, birdy steel tube, you’ll be wooed with in-flight services as delightful as a rainbow squirt gun (you only wish your packet of pretzels came out that colorful). Alaska is quite the amiable host. You would barely notice the flight duration if not for the inevitable crick in your neck and that peculiar economy class numbness in your rump. Mileage program? Oh yes, every flight gets you closer to that fantasy round-trip to Mars (metaphorically speaking).
But allow me to grace you with an enchanting detour from our aeronautical tale. Did you know, and this may leave you aghast, the ubiquitous mosquito is the unofficial “state bird” of Alaska! No, that's not a stand-up one-liner. These pesky critters have been known to form clouds so dense that they've been mistaken for smoke from forest fires. Thankfully, you’re more likely to encounter a brown bear than one of these vampires while traipsing around Alaska. Point being, while our flying friends at Alaska Airlines have a knack for humor, they thankfully also excel at mosquito containment.
Oh, and before I pilot us to an end, remember, the best time to book is when your nomadic spirit craves unseen terrestrial expanses or when your boss endorses your vacation request, whichever comes first.
To wrap this up, let me reassure you, if Jerry Seinfeld was into airline reviews instead of observational comedy, he would give two thumbs up to Alaska Airlines. Every journey is a laughing sky-ride, perched safely atop first-class humor, non-stop entertainment, and the occasional turbulence inducer for thrill-seekers.
Pack your baggages (remembering the baggage allowances, of course) and get ready to ink a cackling chapter into your travelogue.
A direct flight from the ‘city that never sleeps’ to Michigan's 'homey hearth' is the way to go. After all, with Alaska Airlines, you are a frequent flyer in the lounge of laughs. And remember, "clear skies, full hearts, can't lose."
