Alaska Airlines from Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport to Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo

Oh, so you'd like to fly from Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport to the exotic Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, and you've chosen Alaska for this dream journey of yours. Well, brace yourself because you're in for a wild ride, and we're not just talking about turbulence.

Getting all smart and looking up "flight duration" in a bid to save some of that precious time of yours? Well, the fun fact here is that direct flights are as rare as rocking horse droppings. But no worries, your lovely connecting flights are here to provide the kind of adventure you never asked for. Two or three layovers enroute to your final destination? No problem at all. You see, it's often said that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Well, with Alaska, they take that very literally.

Perhaps you're considering one of those spontaneous last-minute flights? Well, hope you’ve been practicing your deep-breathing exercises because it's going to be a roller coaster ride for your wallet. Oh, and let's not delve into the flight cancellation policy. You might just experience the thrill of it when least expected!

Now, let's discuss baggage allowance, shall we? There is a certain level of generosity extended by the airline. However, if you intend to carry that extra pair of shoes "just in case," or that snorkel set for the 0.01% chance of snorkeling, you'll likely meet surcharges quicker than you’d find salmon in Alaska's rivers!

Speaking of Alaska, did you know it has the longest coastline of any state in the U.S? Does this have anything to do with your flight? Absolutely not but we thought a swift reality check about the airline's namesake might lighten the mood.

Let's go back to airfare. If you’re the wild spirit contemplating a jump from Economy class to Business class, be forewarned. The only thing you might leap into is the world of “premium prices”. The comfort and premium in-flight services aren’t exactly for the faint of heart, or rather, faint of pocket.

Lured in by cheap flights? Well, aren't we all? Just remember, like a mirage in the desert, what looks impressive may not always be what it seems. It isn’t all gloom and doom, however. Costume yourself as a frequent flyer and behold the door to mileage program may just open. It is indeed a light at the end of a tunnel, only if you're willing to walk that long, dark tunnel.

Always wondered about the best time to book? Well, Alaska’s unpredictable just like the Alaskan weather. Great flight deals may just pop up when you least expect them. It's all about keeping those senses sharpened, ready to pounce, just like a well-seasoned hunter in the Alaskan wilderness.

So there you have it, all the information you need to brace yourself as you traverse the aerial bridge from Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport to Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo with Alaska. But hey, don’t let all these cynic overtones get you down. After all, isn't it all about that element of surprise and adventure? No pain, no gain right? Bon voyage!
