Alaska Airlines from Reno-Tahoe International Airport to Ketchikan International Airport

Attention, all explorative sentiments and thrill-seekers yearning for a delightful journey of self-rediscovery! If you’re craving that extra flavor whether it's in your Chai latte or in your travels, then heading to Ketchikan, Alaska from Reno-Tahoe, Nevada is arguably your ticket to living your life like the script of a feel-good Netflix original.

What better mode of travel to choose than flying - and I do not mean strapping on feathery wings, Icarus. I'm talking about "real" flights, the sort that contain peanuts, airfare, and the insidious art of navigating the baggage allowance.

Flying with Alaska Air provides you with an experience that can only be compared to snuggly fitting into the Goldilocks zone - not too small to be insignificant, not too large to lose its charm, and certainly not too frosty to have your tongue frozen to a pole.

Alaska Air, my adventurous friend, offers you everything you need: direct flights, round-trip deals, and even the more mysterious and excitingly exhausting red-eye flights. If you're a fan of Rubik's cube and logistical nightmares, you can even indulge in connecting flights that make a journey, not just a destination. Now, isn't that sweet?

But beware! Flying on Alaska from Reno-Tahoe International Airport to Ketchikan International Airport is not your run-of-the-mill, yawn-inducing journey. Remember that you're heading to Alaska, the great land of midnight sun, where summer days stretch on like a cat lounging in sunshine, indefinitely. The sun barely sets during certain times of the year, so be prepared for daylight to gatecrash your after-midnight parties. Isn't that a random, fun fact to pull out in conversations! Oh, don't worry, your airline-issued window shade has got you covered, literally.

One-way or round-trip, the in-flight services guarantee your comfort and satisfaction, second only to the embrace of your grandmother. And let's not forget their flight cancellation policy - as delightful as pulling off that extremely satisfying trick in Jenga, allowing you the shift, change, cancel with the right amount of notice.

Book an economy class ticket if you're budget-conscious, business class if you're feeling particularly princely, and premium economy if you can't decide whether you're a prince on a budget. And for those of you who like to live life 'Netflix Original style,' there's always the first-class. Extravagant, isn't it?

Wait! Before you book that ideal flight, let's slip into a tip - the best time to book is always a subject of heated debate, and by heated, I mean lukewarm. The apt answer is to book when your heart says yes, your schedule says yay, and your wallet doesn't scream bloody murder.

Are you a frequent flyer? Even if you aren't, you might want to start considering it, especially if you like earning points like in a video game only to redeem them for perks in the real world. Alaska Air's mileage program is here just for that, making flights more than just an A-to-B event. You are a living Pac-man gobbling up miles and benefits!

Bid adieu to the mundane, to the beaten tracks of Reno-Tahoe, and embrace the wet, wild, and utterly gorgeous Ketchikan. Let Alaska Air – and the REAL Alaska – welcome you. Let's daringly expect from life, just as we dare to expect some humor, wisdom, legroom, and a baggage allowance on a flight. Let's start the journey.
