Fly Southwest: BZE to Minot, North Dakota

Do you want to feel like you're on top of the world, soaring above the clouds, without having to sell a kidney to afford it? Well, perhaps it's time you considered catching a flight with Southwest from the beautiful undefined in Belize City to the vibrant heart of North Dakota, Minot. If you’re quick enough, you might even find some of their ‘Cheap flights’. Shocker, isn't it?

Now, the enlightened traveler might be wondering, 'Should I choose a One-way or a Round-trip?' Oh, the agonizing decisions we must face in life! But let me put your fears to rest. After all, we've invented a little something called 'flexibility'. So, by all means, book a round-trip and save yourself the anxiety of figuring out your return route on the fly. But, if you're a born adventurer who prefers to roll with the punches, go ahead and book that one-way ticket. Do keep in mind, that the latter might give you a surprise, often in the wallet department.

Don’t be surprised if you’re routed through a myriad of destinations en route to charming Minot. The fun of Direct flights may elude you, but hey, at this point, the airline has trained us to see Layovers as a 'chance to stretch our legs' - even if it is in a bustling, noisy airport. Expect to have Connecting flights, and the charm of discovering the unexpected (read: being stuck in a random airport!). But fret not, you can always catch up with your Netflix in the interlude – free Wi-Fi is a thing, remember?

One might greatly wonder about the In-flight services and the splendidness they behold. Well, let’s keep our expectations real here. You get Economy class comfort – that’s some level of seating, some legroom, and the flight attendant's rehearsed smile. Feast your stomach on the culinary delight that is airline food, which may or may not taste like, well, actual food. And, should you feel the need for entertainment, you might find inflight magazines with utterly gripping articles about the evolution of paperclips or the adrenaline-fueled world of grass growing! Southwest doesn’t partake in video entertainment nor do they believe in keeping you charged…literally! So, pray that your iPad is charged up!

For those of you who give a hoot about the environmental impact of your travel and are, therefore, concerned about your baggage allowance, relax. Southwest has a free baggage policy (up to your first two checked bags). This means you can indeed carry your entire wardrobe, in case you're afraid Minot's weather might throw a curveball.

The beauty of flying is, of course, reaping what you sow in the form of a Frequent flyer program. You inch closer to that coveted free flight with every mile, every sandwich, every bag. The fun part about Southwest is your life doesn't revolve around blackout dates - you're free to book whenever (and wherever) the wind takes you. It's surprising, isn’t it, how flying involves so much metaphorical and literal mileage?

So, dear reader, pack your bags, step on that Southwest flight from undefined in Belize City to Minot, and keep your eyes peeled for those little adventures that are often disguised as flight deals, layovers, and in-flight snacks. Here's to hoping your trip is more entertaining than your inflight magazine!
