Alaska Airlines from San Diego to Midway International Airport

Did I ever tell you about the time I decided to fly on Alaska from San Diego to Midway International Airport? It’s quite the tale, and if you're planning a similar escapade, then you’re in for an eerily amusing ride, packed with more thrills than a red-eye flight. Let’s begin, shall we?

You could think of me, your ever-jovial narrator, as a minute-chaser: The kind of person who tries to squeeze every second out of life and business class travel. This particular day was swamped with excitement at the thought of new adventures and meetings that awaited me at the other end of the journey. Pretty mundane, right? But here's where the plot thickens.

Like every voracious traveler, I'm no stranger to the pursuit of the best airfare deals. Therefore, when our friends at Alaska offered me a once-in-a-lifetime direct flight deal, I couldn’t help but pounce on the opportunity. Yes, friends, I had found the golden ticket to a swift, hassle-free, and indulgent journey to Midway International.

But let’s hold the phone for a moment, shall we? For it’s time to add a mirthful nugget to the mix. Did you know that Alaska has more caribou than people? Quite an inconsequential fact unless you’re tracking a herd across the Tundra or avoiding a moose on the highway on your commute to the Anchorage airport, but there you have it!

So off I was, nestled snugly in my Alaska Airlines business class seat, comfortably warmed by the knowledge that somewhere out yonder, a merry romp of caribou was frolicking across the Alaskan snow. As our plane ascended, I bid farewell to the sunny beaches of San Diego. I was greeted on-board by cheerful staff and an array of in-flight services that instantly brought a smile to my lips.

Perhaps it was the fond memories that warmed the cockles of my heart, or maybe it was the gourmet hot chocolate; nevertheless, that flight was exceptionally comforting. With no layover concerns and a stellar baggage allowance, my journey from the golden coast to the windy city seemed to float by like a dream.

Now, every astute traveler knows that it is the merchants of time who run the world. And when it comes to flights, the flight duration is the most coveted currency. Stage left, enter flight tracker: my new best friend. From San Diego to Midway International Airport, we were predicted to travel at brisk pace, delivering me to my destination with some time to spare.

The journey held more pleasant surprises. The informational flight schedule updates were as frequent as the waves lapping on a sandy San Diego beach.
