Fly Southwest: CMH to Provo, Utah

Right, folks, let’s dive headlong into the whimsical world of aviation, where the airfares are as unpredictable as a spin of a roulette wheel and where the term "friendly skies" often feels as ironic as calling a snail ‘speedy’. Buckle up as we meander our way from the melodious, albeit undefined, Columbus to the picturesque Provo on a Southwest Airlines flight. Just think of this little narrative as a flight of fancy! If I could convince you to adopt a llama as a pet, believe me, I can surely sway you this way.

The minute you start considering Southwest Airlines, the charm of “cheap flights” drifts towards you like a beggar's dog. But don’t be put off, dear traveler. Southwest has trained this pooch well. It's played fetch with every dollar bill, coaxing it gently from your potentially clenched fist, all with the promise of giving you a high-altitude experience at low-altitude costs. How could you resist?

Say you're scouting for one-way flights, something akin to an escape route, leaving the familiarity of Columbus for the mystery of Provo. Southwest promises covered wagons, only airborne. Picture the scene: Columbus fades from view as you ascend, your body cushioned by an economy class seat that's leagues above the rest.

Or let's imagine you're drawn more towards round-trip flights. As odd as it may seem, a full circle has appeal. Look at doughnuts or Ferris wheels or even a merry-go-round. Who wouldn't want to climb aboard and enjoy the ride? From Columbus, around the arcs of the skies, to Provo and back again, Southwest lets you do just that. It’s a glorious, circling cycle of delightful inflight services. A melody of comestibles, dispensed from a cart with the grace of a royal banquet, will keep you content and the memory of that stringy airplane food will just be a distant nightmare.

Are you of a more extravagant outlook and looking for a dash of privilege? The top-tier passengers, frolicking in the lap of first-class luxury, are treated to an opulent display of in-flight services. There are the plush recliner seats, of course, with a personal bellboy. And then the hand-woven carpets, because one's feet should never touch anything less finely crafted. Southwest certainly ensures that the excess of first-class doesn’t feel excessive, but just right.

But I hear you! Southwest Airlines is infamous for not providing business class, aren’t they? Precisely, dear reader! Instead, they've crafted a unique "Southwest Business Select", which is, might I say, even more refreshing than the usual business class. If you consider yourself bold, you may just find the charm of this alternative choice irresistible.

Of course, let’s not forget the frequent flyers! Caught in the eternal loop of clouds and landing strips, they're enthralled by the wanderlust bestowed by the Southwest mileage program. It's a gamble appealing to those with an adventurous spirit; the kind who'd play tic-tac-toe with mountain peaks or connect-the-dots with stars.

Oh, does it all sound too good to be true? Well, spray on your sea (or perhaps in this case, sky) scent, because Southwest's flight cancellation policy is as breezy as a day on a Caribbean island, and just as stress-free. It’s a refreshing change from the usual “pulling hair out in frustration” scenario. An undeniable allure that stresses on understanding the traveler’s woes.

So you see, taking the flight from the friendly city of Columbus to the breath-taking landscapes of Provo with Southwest is more than just getting from A to B. It’s an experience, a worthy tale to recount, complete with humor, expectations, and just a sprinkle of irony. Hop in and fasten your seatbelt!
