Fly Southwest: BUR to Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee

Well, well, well, look at us, gearing up to soar through the clouds, from the sun-drenched streets of Burbank to the mellifluous tunes of Nashville-Davidson. A bold move my friend, as they say, fortune favors the brave, or in this case, the traveler who's packed their flip-flops and cowboy hats. Yes, this jaunt is promising to be the test-your-limits kind of adventure, for what's better than the changing landscapes and the crisp packet of pretzels that come with every flight, isn't it?

Our winged chariot for this journey is none other than the marvelous Southwest. Let's discuss the delightful journey you're about to partake — a non-stop flight! Yes, you heard me right, Southwest is cutting out the middle man, or should I say, the middle airport. No dawdling layovers or harrowing sprints to catch connecting flights, because we're going from point Burbank to point Nashville-Davidson, in one merry swoop.

Oh, did the term non-stop make you nervous about the flight duration? Worry not my friend, I got you covered. You see, the universe gave us the gift of time zones, where moving from west to east, we actually land before we take off. Strange isn't it, well, that's the beauty of air travel.

Let's talk baggage, not the emotional kind, I assure you, but the literal one. With Southwest's generous baggage allowance, you can pack your life and the kitchen sink. Bring that leafy sombrero, those shiny cowboy boots or that eccentric ukulele because you have two checked bags for free! The only caveat — maintain decorum and don't bring anything that treads on the FAA's naughty list.

No journey is complete without some perks. Sign yourself up for the Frequent Flyer program of Southwest, and watch as you rack up points that can make your future travels cheaper, and more comfortable. How about that business class upgrade that has always seemed tantalizing but just a bit out of reach? With the mileage program, it's not as far off as you might think!

Moving onto some in-flight services — have you heard about Southwest’s in-flight entertainment? You get free movies and TV series, and if you're anything like me (a person who gets spa-level relaxation watching cheesy rom-coms at 30,000 feet), this is pure gold. Plus, for the internet addicts, they do offer in-flight Wi-Fi for a small fee.

A crucial bit, especially for those with ever-changing plans, is the flight cancellation policy. Southwest's customer-friendly policy allows you to cancel or change your flights up to 10 minutes before departure. Don't get too excited though, it's not a magic-erase-all button, there are different ‘levels’ of refund, depending on how upper crust your ticket is.

And there you go, you're ready to trade in the palm trees of Burbank for the famed honky-tonks of Nashville, with Southwest's non-stop flights, and armed with all necessary information in your proverbial traveler's arsenal. Just pop in a mental note, bring an extra pair of socks, flights can get chilly, especially if your foot rest is an air conditioning vent. Before you know it, we'll be firmly on terra firma, experiencing the sights, sounds, and tastes of Nashville-Davidson.

Here's to making in-flight friends and accumulating riveting stories; to experiencing business class without a business expense account. Happy flying!
