La Paz weekend getaway: A sun-soaked escape made easy with Alaska Airlines’ L.A. nonstop and Atmos™ Rewards

Source: Alaska Airlines   My job as a travel reporter has me on the road often, as I scout destinations, hotels, and yes, even airlines, for a compelling story. (Is this city the next hotspot? Where should I stay there? Is there a nonstop flight?)  Take La Paz, for instance. This laidback coastal community in Mexico’s Baja California has long been on my radar. The city of 250,000 stands in stark contrast to resort-heavy Cabo San Lucas, located about a two-and-a-half-hour drive away. In fact, there isn’t a single big-box hotel in town. La Paz retains a local feel with boutique accommodations and B&Bs, hole-in-the-wall taco joints, and a gorgeous waterfront promenade. That’s why I was thrilled to hear that [...]
