Fly Southwest: BLI to Peoria, Illinois

Howdy, fearless globe-trotter! Bet you're revving to kick that travel itch up a notch, and guess what? Oops, never mind. I'm supposed to be doing the guessing. You, my friend, are planning on swooping from the undefinable corners of Bellingham straight down to Peoria, riding the merry winds of the Southwest Airlines. Brace yourself, we're about to embark on a virtual pre-journey through the wild world of "airfare" and "flights." Keep those seat belts fastened and enjoy the ride.

First things first, the "Who." Who else but the mighty Southwest, a cuddly behemoth of an airline, well-loved among the frequent flyers for its "cheap flights". You'd be surprised it doesn't actually have 'cheap' in its official name. Affordable? Absolutely. But just like that guy who cracks dad jokes at work, Southwest manages to maintain a sense of respectability amidst all the humor.

Next, we dive into the "What." Strap on your aviator glasses as we go over the "flight duration". How long does it take to get from Bellingham to Peoria, you ask? If you're banking on a "non-stop" option, your heart might plummet faster than an ill timed punchline. That's right, direct flights between these two locations are about as common as a bear with a picnic basket. But fear not! Southwest allows you to enjoy the thrill of "connecting flights" with bountiful "layover" destinations.

Counting sheep isn't your thing? No worries. A bit of a "red-eye flight" could be just the ticket for blending sightseeing and sleep, because who doesn’t love multitasking. Remember, every cloud has a silver lining, or in this case, a sublime sunset view with free in-flight peanuts.

Now, let's tackle the "When." The "best time to book," you ask, eyes wide with anticipation. Picture this: it's Tuesday, you're sipping your morning coffee, and BAM! A sweet flight deal hits your inbox harder than the caffeine. Southwest is infamous for dropping prices faster than a hot potato on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Think of it as a midweek pick-me-up. Just what the doctor ordered!

Sure, the "Where" seems pretty obvious, but here's a quirky fact about your destination: Peoria is often used as a benchmark for average American tastes. “Will it play in Peoria?” has become a common question asked by marketers and politicians alike. Who knew flying to Heartland, USA could be so ritzy?

Aaand finally, the "Why." Why Southwest, you might be wrestling? Well, besides their tendency to pull your leg with their light-hearted service, they possess a witty "flight cancellation policy" ready at your whim and fancy. Southwest doesn’t charge any cancellation fees, if you want to change your flight, they’ll only charge the difference in fare. Also, they offer a "baggage allowance" so generous it just begs you to take that extra pair of hiking boots.

Belligham to Peoria isn’t just a flight, it's an experience better than any sitcom reruns. So be ready for take-off. You might not be the one cracking jokes on this flight, but you're sure to be the one laughing all the way to (and from) Peoria!
