Alaska Airlines from Ontario to Fort Wayne International Airport

So, you've decided on a one-way ticket to adventure! Oh wait, make that round-trip because we all know that nobody can resist coming back to Ontario after a spell. You've set your sights on the exotic beauty of Fort Wayne—it’s not just about corn and basketball, folks. Your chariot awaiting you is Alaska Airlines - the Trusty Moose in the sky. It's time to strap in and let's take a journey together through the fun-filled world of airfare, all while trying not to lose our baggage - and our sanity - along the way.

Now, you'll probably be perusing around looking for cheap flights like a fevered contestant on Supermarket Sweep. Ah, it's a modern-day opera on a dusty laptop—will the price drop or rocket skyward? It seems Adam Smith’s invisible hand of the market has a wicked sense of humor when it comes to flight deals, doesn't it? Price fluctuations keeping you up at night? Think of it as engaging in an elaborate game of cat and mouse with the airline company. Spoiler alert, they're the cat and you're the mouse.

Did you know that it's not always the early bird who gets the worm? Or in this case, the best airfare deals? Data from this obscure study that I stumbled upon during my fourth cup of coffee shows that, on average, the best time to book was 70 days in advance. However, I wasn't born yesterday, and neither were you. That's way too specific to remember, isn't it? To make things easier, a simple rule of thumb would be to book your ticket about 2 - 3 months in advance. Isn't vague advice great? Keeps us all on our toes.

Speaking of staying on your toes, let's take a random detour and chat about the great state of Alaska. Did you know that you can find over 3,000 rivers and more than 3 million lakes in Alaska? It's water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink! Unless, of course, you’re into freshwater lake dipping while your flight descends into Fort Wayne.

Now, you’re obviously someone who's got class. But what kind of class on a plane? Are you a first-class highflyer or do you enjoy rubbing elbows with your fellow man in economy class? Either way, it's super essential to know your baggage allowance. Alaska Airlines allows you to carry a bag that is up to 62 linear inches. But remember, the kitchen sink has to stay at home hanging out with the pet rock!

Since you are about to embark on this flight, have you thought about becoming a frequent flyer? Alaska Airlines has a pretty slick mileage program. All those 'Moose Miles', as I like to call them, could eventually catapult you into the exclusive world of upgrades and VIP lounges. Their motto should be: Fly more, reap hungrily.

So, whether you're departing on a red-eye flight, catching last-minute flights, or taking painstakingly planned-out connecting flights, remember that variety is the spice of life. With in-flight services providing you everything but a comforting pat on the back, the flight duration will whiz by before you could say "Connecticut Banana".

As for flight cancellation policy, relax. It's more forgiving than your grade 10 math teacher was. If, for some reason, you have to cancel your flight, Alaska Airlines will let you do so within 24 hours of booking, without any penalties. After that? Well, let's just not go there.

Well, dear fellow ground mortals, looks like we’ve reached the end of our flight of fancy. From Ontario to For Wayne International Airport, we managed to outmanoeuvre the turbulence of booking Alaska Airlines. Remember, organizing flights can be fun, but don't take it too seriously. Now, where's the exit row again?
