Alaska Airlines from Seattle to Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport

What better way to initiate your meditative delve into the alluringly chilly wastes of America's Last Frontier than by procuring a flight ticket on Alaska airline's one-way, no return solicitation from Seattle's cutting-edge throw-your-seafood-in-the-air festival destination to yet another Clintonesque cornucopia – the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport?

It's a trip that provocatively conflicts the paradoxes of existence, the struggle between the warm and the cold, the renowned and the obscure, the high profile scandals and the treacherously elusive glaciers – all sealed within the hushed cabins of a celestial bird. Dare I say, it's an Odyssey of a lonesome bird to the realm of northern lights. Oh, what an enthusiastic opener for a yet another PowerPoint presentation at our monthly travel group, don’t you believe?

Here is a piece of whimsically delightful trivia you might ponder during your flight: did you know that the state flag of Alaska was designed by a 13-year-old? That's correct. As your now Alaska enlightened brain soars miles above in the troposphere, be sure to spare a thought for Benny Benson, who back in 1927 won a competition to design the flag. I wonder what the runner ups were... perhaps a rendition of a polar bear in a festive knit sweater or a saluting Grizzly adorning a top hat.

Well, dear traveler, I have no intention to deflate your juvenile Benny Benson-inspired dreams but I think it’s the best time to book our journey into the paradoxes of reality. Fun Fact: Did you know that a non-stop flight between Seattle and the Clinton paradise lasts shorter than any Presidential impeachment trial?

The airfare industry is the sorcerer that woefully lures us into the phantasm of cheap flights, causing us to spontaneously combust in an inferno of last-minute flights. But fear not, cherished globetrotters, your first-class, premium-economy, faux-leather cradle in the heavens awaits to transport you from the boisterous no man’s land of Seattle to the energetic embrace of the Clinton wonderland.

Have you ever wondered the giant leap for mankind that occurred between economy class and business class? You'd think with all the added legroom and excessively garnished meals with names that demand a tongue-twister championship, our travel time would statistically plummet. Alas, not so much! So it may serve our prudent budget and journey to settle for the humbler abode of economy class.

Choosing to fly Alaska Airlines, a bird garbed in the shroud of frequent flyer friendly policies and a generous baggage allowance, any winged endeavor you embark on is a proverbial Thelma & Louise ride into the splendid sunset of airline customer service. Their flight cancellation policy is friendlier than a great-aunt's embrace and their in-flight services are smoother than smooth jazz on a Wednesday evening.

So why wait? Unveil your screens, table out your plans, and nonchalantly punch in your "round-trip" details into the AI clairvoyant of flight schedule prediction. With a plethora of connecting flights and direct flights making their periodic pilgrimage between Seattle and Clinton National, we are spoiled for choice with a vibrant buffet of airfare temptations.

And oh dear traveler, fasten your comfort seat-belts for a delightfully cascading feast of flight deals, for the no-stop Alaskan escapade has only just begun! So, as they say in my local travel group, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign - it's adventure time!"
