Alaska Airlines from Puerto Vallarta to Newark Liberty International Airport

I can imagine you now, sipping tequila under a Puerto Vallarta sun, perhaps wondering how best to exchange your sandy beach experience for the bustling life of Newark. Fear not, intrepid explorer. The journey from margarita to metropolis is easier than you might think. Especially when you're winging your way there on Alaska Airlines, a carrier as chill as the state it's named after.

Did you know that Alaska has over 3 million lakes? That's right, more than the number of times 'despacito' played on the summer of 2017. Now you can impress your neighbors at 30,000 feet with that fun fact while enjoying the airline’s exceptional in-flight services.

Alaska Airlines offers a variety of flights from Puerto Vallarta (PVR) to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). These include both the quick non-stop options for those skilled in the art of plane-sleeping, and the more leisurely connecting flights for those who favor a brief, romantic layover (or simply enjoy stretching their legs in airports). For impulsive wanderlust-driven souls praying for a miracle from the gods of travel, yet still bound by budget, last-minute flights and flight deals are also available, often at airfare prices you might mistake for a typo.

Considering the flight duration is approximately 6 hours on direct flights, booking a comfortable seating class might be a decision as crucial as choosing between "nachos" or "tacos" for your Puerto Vallarta farewell meal. Now, we're not suggesting you empty your wallet on first-class, unless you have a strong liking for champagne and warm nuts, but economy class and premium economy offer a comfortable experience, filled with a delightful selection of movies, series, and probably some landscape photography e-magazines with pictures of...you guessed it: Alaskan lakes!

Now, you might be wondering: "What about my beloved sombrero? Will it fit in the overhead bin?". Excellent question, my fashionable amigo! Alaska's baggage allowance is quite generous - so whether it's a sombrero, a six-pack of Mexican hot sauce, or a life-size inflatable llama, you're likely safe. However, animals or people do not count as baggage and must be booked their own flights. Sorry, Speedy Gonzales!

Booking round-trip or one-way, you ask? Depends on how much you anticipate missing the sound of mariachi by the end of your Newark adventure. You could always book a round-trip and let Alaska's flight cancellation policy come to the rescue if your heart yearns for the excitements of Puerto Vallarta sooner than anticipated.

Consider joining Alaska Airlines' mileage program, aptly named "Mileage Plan", because while they are clearly top-notch at flying planes, they were not quite as inventive when it came to naming frequent flyer programs. This program rewards you with miles for every flight, which then may be converted to more flights or in-flight upgrades (remember those warm nuts we talked about?).

To wrap it up, as our Puerto Vallarta sunset fades and Newark's skyline looms on your travel horizon, remember: the best time to book is when adventure calls. So, strap in for the journey, amigo, and prepare for takeoff - Newark awaits!
