We have an Alaskan cruise booked next June. We live in upstate NY and are pretty equidistant between NYC and Boston.

We want to book a non-stop flight in first/business class. We will also need a nearby hotel for the night before the flight.

We do not have status on any airline and have recently flown American, JetBlue, Virgin Atlantic and Southwest. We are strongly considering Alaska Airlines for the flight but are open to other options as well.

We are looking for the best combined experience. There is a decent chance we will take a car service to whichever airport we decide (travel is our time to splurge).

If you had to choose, where would you fly from, which airline and why?
