Alaska Airlines from Puerto Vallarta to Midway International Airport

Well well, aren't you the adventurous spirit? Clearly jumping out of the ORDinary – pun intended, and planning to fly to the Windy City from the beachy paradise, Puerto Vallarta? The fact you also chose Alaska Airlines for your trip just doubles down on your maverick spirit. What's next? Skydiving in the Arctic?

But hey, all sarcasm aside, you’ve made a surprisingly wise decision here. Among the sea of flight deals, Alaska Airlines is renowned for its exceptional in-flight services that turn even the weariest travelers into apparent aviation enthusiasts.

Looking for a red-eye flight or opting for the more human hours? Perhaps a non-stop flight is too mainstream for you, or you're a thrill-seeker that loves a bit of layover drama. Regardless, Alaska Airlines has your peculiar preferences covered. They are incredibly committed, they make a mother hen's efforts look negligent in comparison.

I see you already getting antsy. "What about the flight duration?" you probably mutter. Ah, my time-conscious friend, you're in luck. Puerto Vallarta to Midway International Airport typically takes around 6 hours, if non-stop. However, if you're an enthusiast for layover gymnastics, it could take 8 to 9 hours. See? Plenty of time to delve into the existential crisis you've been postponing since last year.

Let's delve briefly into the terrain you are about to traverse. I feel almost patronizing spelling it out, but for your sake, I will! Puerto Vallarta - beautiful beachy backdrop, enviable weather all year round. Midway International Airport - urban jungle, sharp winds, and a concrete charm that is an acquired taste. Amazing how you’re swapping margaritas for wind chill, but who am I to judge?

Perhaps you’re splashing some serious cash on this journey and going first-class or business class? Heck, why not, right? If you're going to inflate your carbon footprint, you might as well do it in the style. You'll get wider seats, fancier meals (pretentious, tiny proportioned gourmet food, Yum!), and more baggage allowance to haul back the souvenirs nobody asked for.

However, if you're opting for economy class or the slightly superior-sounding premium economy, don't despair. Unlike the paradoxical hospitality of the Alaskan weather, Alaska Airlines is pretty consistent in ensuring comfort across all classes. Though, just between us, the legroom in economy class? Yeah, not generous.

A cheeky tip if you're a deal hunter: the best time to book flights from Puerto Vallarta to Midway International Airport is approximately 1 to 3 months in advance. 'But what about last-minute flights?' you ponder. Anticipating your every whim, Alaska Airlines does offer those as well, but it’s like playing Russian roulette with your wallet, isn’t it?

Another apparent concern of yours might be around the flight cancellation policy. Rest assured, Alaska Airlines is not draconian about it. They do offer a 24-hour complementary cancellation window post-booking. If you cancel afterwards, well, just be ready to bid adieu to a fraction of your airfare; there’s no backing out in the world of aviation, after all.

But let’s end on a fun note, shall we? Did you know Alaska is the only state in America that can be typed on a single row of a traditional English QWERTY keyboard? Go ahead, try it out. You can thank me for this stellar party trivia later.

Happy voyage, my undeterred traveler. May the odds of air travel be forever in your favor. Remember, getting there is half the fun, or so they say.
