Fly Southwest: CUN to Bangor, Maine

Brace yourselves, my intrepid sojourners! The journey from the sun-kissed beaches of Cancun to the pine-scented realm of Bangor, Maine is one of epic proportions. But fear not! Be it a business class upgrade or a tight-budgeted economy class ticket, your cerveza-laden dreams of Cancun will mesh seamlessly with the crisp, sea-sprayed airs of the Northeast, thanks to the wings of our trusted steed, Southwest Airlines.

Now, let us talk 'Direct flights', for I know in the innermost recesses of your wanderlust hearts, you scorn delays. Alas! Our beloved Southwest contents not with the demand for non-stop travels. So, ye fellow travelers, we must brave a layover or two. But fret not! Have I not committed to sprinkle your journey with humor and joy? Ponder upon it as a sojourn into one of the finest airports across the United States, indulging in the cornucopia of amenities and fleeting friendships over steaming cups of mediocre airport coffee.

'When is the best time to book', you ask? Why, it is when bagpipes play symphonies under the full moon, my friend! On a real note, booking two to three months in advance seem to strike that sweet spot between marketing strategies and our quest for cheap flights. However, for those who succumb to last-minute flights, fear not! Southwest often offers last-minute flight deals that will nudge your wallet but not pick-pocket it.

In-flight services are like a box of chocolates (you never know what you're going to get!) But with Southwest, I can vouch for a range of comforts, from the necessary keep-you-sane kind, like Wi-Fi, to the quintessential here-have-some-more-leg-room-cause-we're-generous like that kind! And if you are lucky to be a part of their frequent flyer gang or, as they fancy calling it, the mileage program, even economy class may pass for a budget-first-class experience.

Now let's address the elephant in the cabin, 'baggage allowance'. You may not be allowed to bring back a full-grown agave plant, but Southwest gives you a fair chance of stowing memories in a couple of suitcases without slapping on an extra fee. Rejoice, fellow souvenir hunters!

In the event of a harsh twist of fate (read: flight cancellation), do not despair. Southwest’s flight cancellation policy comes to your rescue, saving your well-earned pesos for another adventure.

If your curiosities lie in gathering more quips before embarking on the journey, seek solace in airline reviews. Remember fellow wanderers, Southwest may not promise opulence of the dreamy-eyed Arabian Princes, but it will safely and efficiently transport you from your salsa musings in Cancun to the lobster aromas in Bangor - and with a sprinkle of good old American humour.

So weekend backpackers and grand sojourners, your Cancun to Bangor round-trip itinerary awaits! It bids you adieu from Cancun and welcomes you to the darling city of Bangor, with the tried-and-true comfort of an old friend in Southwest. So, rev those wandering engines, and embark onto the journey of a lifetime!
