Alaska Airlines from Provo Airport to Puerto Vallarta

Oh joy, you’ve decided to embark on a fascinating journey, departing from Provo Airport, noted for its delightful lack of grandeur, to the tropical paradise of Puerto Vallarta. Picking Alaska Airlines for this enthralling escapade is indeed a brave choice that shows off your audacious spirit. Let's dive into the labyrinths of "airfare," "flight deals," and "flight duration," shall we?

First off, decide which type of flights you want to torture yourself with; one-way or round-trip. Let's say you choose round-trip. You’ll be shackled to a set return date, but hey, it's cheaper! As for the flights, congratulations on the marvelous choices again! You can select direct flights, the holy grail of aviation, or opt for connecting flights, meaning you get to enjoy more time crammed into a metal tube flying at 35,000 feet. So much fun!

Should you decide to torture yourself further, opt for cheaper red-eye flights or last-minute flights. Nothing screams adventure like erratic sleep patterns, or the terror of not knowing if you'll get a flight at all. But, as every experienced traveler will tell you in the secret language they all share, it’s all part of the fun.

Of course, discussing flight types without mentioning the various service classes would be an unforgivable omission. There's Economy class, the commoner's choice, Business class for the status-conscious, Premium Economy if you feel a bit fancier but not too much, and First Class, the promised land only a handful ever get to see.

Do note that whichever class you choose, each one gleefully challenges your notions about personal space and comfort. Also, remember to read up on your baggage allowance if you don’t want to pay handsomely for a few extra pounds. Keep an eye on Alaska's flight cancellation policy, too. Who knows? They may delight you with a surprise cancellation while you're already at the airport.

Now, as a traveler, becoming a frequent flyer on Alaska Airlines could be your salvation. Their mileage program isn’t half bad, and you might even amass enough points to upgrade from a sardine (Economy class) to a dolphin (First-class) after just a hundred or so flights.

Bear in mind, booking at the best time does not guarantee the best flight experience, but might save you a few Wrinkle-Free-Dollars. Besides, who wouldn't want to enjoy the in-flight service where paying for a ham sandwich feels like purchasing a five-course meal at a Michelin Star restaurant?

Let's not forget about the flight schedule, which is usually respected by the airlines with the same reverence as a recommendation to eat five fruits a day. Despite your intense planning, expect changes. And reviewing the airline before travel will probably only serve to induce anxiety or give you false hopes.

Now, for a fun fact about Alaska, the airline's namesake. Despite its frigid reputation, Alaska actually has over 10,000 rivers, which is more than enough to drown all your travel-related sorrows. But it's not just about the water. Berries grow wildly all year round in the state, meaning Alaskans might have a healthier diet than most of us.

So, buckle up, brave traveler. Whether you’re boarding a one-way flight to paradise or returning on a direct flight back home, bear in mind that the experience will be anything but run-of-the-mill. But hey, at least now you're equipped with more knowledge about what's awaiting your audacious self.
