Alaska Airlines from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport to Juneau International Airport

If you're contemplating on booking a journey from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport to the great Frontier, Juneau International Airport, as an insider, here's my two cents that you should consider.

Now, I've done a fair share of traveling in my time, from taking a "round-trip" to my fridge, to actual, real-life traveling without my couch involved. So trust me when I say, Alaska Airlines, is your absolute "go-to" for "flights" to Juneau. They sprinkle stardust on you, shine your shoes, and offer an array of "in-flight services"... sort of. Where else can you get a warm smile from a flight attendant that is genuine and full-sized pretzels? And may I remind you, all these wonders are before you actually set foot on Alaskan soil.

Now, let's address the cabin classes situation. Don't we all wish to lavish ourselves in "first-class", with an ample "baggage allowance" and legroom as big as Texas, but a glance at our wallets just gives us that reality check? Well, fret not, because Economy class on Alaska airlines is basically like first-class on other airlines, but you know, without the caviar and champagne. Worry not about the legroom though. Unless you've borrowed Shaquille O’Neal's legs for your journey, rest assured Alaska Airlines' Economy class has got you covered.

Here's a heads up, when you see "non-stop" near a flight, it's not a deceptive airline term for "we forgot the fuel". It actually means a journey smooth as butter without a "layover". A quick tip, if your destination is Juneau, try and book "direct flights". You’ll spend less time in layovers and more time exploring the Alaskan wilderness, or, if you’re anything like me, more time sampling the local ice cream flavors.

Conflicting pulls on the wallet versus the yearning to travel is real. But this is where I'll let you in on the secret of “last-minute flights". It’s like a game of chicken between you and the airline. It’s risky as you could end up paying more, but if timed right, Jackpot! Flight Deals! You can be flying with kangaroos in your pocket.

While we're on the topic of saving, why not mention Alaska Airlines' "frequent flyer" program? It's more than just a fancier name for the "mileage program". The more you fly, you more you earn, and the more advantages you gain. That's an awful lot of mores, but when it comes to flying, the mores, the merrier.

Now, a juicy morsel about our destination, Juneau. Juneau, Alaska, did you know it's one of the only state capitals in the U.S that isn't accessible by road? Now, there's an Icebreaker for you to use. But wait, there's no ice in Juneau...You've got to fly or float in.

Lastly, remember that any good adventure begins before the journey starts. So, grab the "best time to book" your ticket by the scruff of the neck, shake out the best deal, buckle up, and get ready to take to the skies for a trip to remember. As always, happy travels!
