Fly Southwest: AMA to Glendale, Arizona

Ah, the journey of hopping on unreasonably overpriced birds made of metal! The joys of flying, especially on "elite" airlines, are countless. Yet, as any dissatisfied traveler will attest, the only charm there is in it comes from your ability to outlive the numerous discomforts. But if you're planning a trip on Southwest from the AMA, rustic pits of Amarillo to the modern kingdom of Glendale, I have rather good news for you.

Enter the realm of Southwest Airlines, an airline so miraculously shaped to overwhelm the impossible alchemy of ‘affordable yet comfortable’. Southwest's airfare is akin to a well-thought joke. You hear the punchline, and it makes you laugh out loud, not because it's amusing, but because it's hilarious how it’s not crushing your wallet unlike its counterparts. Oh, satirical irony!

The beauty of Southwest is their near-insulting oversimplification of classes. Oh, don’t expect any fancy ‘Business class’, ‘Economy class’, or ‘First-class’. No, no! All you have is - well, seats! Just good ole seats for everyone, because, my dear friend, we want you to ‘enjoy’ the bare minimum. This brutal simplicity, at a first glance might seem rudimentary, but at the end of the day, who wouldn’t trade a pinching price for a slightly softer seat?

Flying between the dry desolateness of Amarillo and the vibrant heart of Glendale? My dear, what were you thinking? Nonetheless, you'll be glad to know Southwest has got you covered. It takes your plight for ‘connection flights’ and does a little juggling act where it throws your ‘inconvenience’ into the near obscure. Direct flights, my friends, who even does 'Connecting flights' any longer? Direct flights are now in and they're in for good. Southwest giggles at the antique concept of multiple stops and proudly flaunts its non-stop seamlessness from Amarillo to Glendale.

Now, allow me to regale you about an aspect of Southwest's services that, (drum roll, please!) the Mileage Program. This is where Southwest takes the cake (and the icing!) with their 'Rapid Rewards' program. Every flight you take, every air mile you earn; accumulating points as if you were at a grocery store! The more you fly, the more you save! Ah, if only we knew about this rare species called ‘Frequent Flyer’ earlier!

Another feather in Southwest's hat is their generous baggage allowance. Yes, generous, just like your overly loving aunt at Christmas who simply can't stop gifting you the same woolen socks. Southwest, out of its enormous heart, doesn't demand an extra cent for your first two checked bags. Why make money off your basic necessity, they say!

So, there you go! Say 'Adios' to being treated merely as a 'premium customer' with Southwest. Embrace the authentic experience, one of inclusiveness over exclusiveness, comfort over class, and most importantly, sanity over extravagance. Take that trip from Amarillo to Glendale and take it Southwest. After all, for them, it's always about you, the 'humorous' traveler over the 'paying' customer! Now, if you find a better jest than this, pray do tell!
