Fly Southwest: DTW to Los Angeles, California

Listen up, globe-trotting wanderlusters, adrenaline junkies, business-oriented sky-hoppers and even reluctant fliers - there's a fun and moderately pain-free way to span half a continent! If you've just scoffed at that sentence, thinking, "There's no way air travel can be fun", well, hold onto your seatbelts! (Preferably those of the airplane variety because, space travel is still a bit pricey and, let's be honest, a little risky.) Anyway, have you tried flying on Southwest from the undefined in Detroit to the City of Angels, Los Angeles?

If you haven't, prepare to kick your "fear-of-flights" syndrome to the curb and embrace the phenomenon that is Southwest Airlines! Indulge in their cheap flights with all the elegance of a flamingo on roller skates. I know what you're thinking - can cheap flights come with elegance? In this concoction mixed by Southwest, the answer is yes! And with an economy class so comfortable it feels like business class, flying is going to stop being a snooze fest and start being a mid-air party you didn't know you were invited to.

Ever had a layover that felt like it lasted longer than your last relationship? Well, I'm thrilled to say that's all in your turbulent past now! Southwest offers a haul of direct flights and with a simple one-way or round-trip ticket, you can wind your way from Detroit's undefined location to sun-kissed Los Angeles faster than you can finish a Lord of The Rings marathon. (And let’s debate on it, I think that seems to be a fair comparison!).

Skeptical? Cue in Southwest’s airline reviews that are positively gleaming, not unlike the proud smile of a grandma who's just figured out how to use emojis. You’ll find passengers raving about everything from modernized in-flight services such as complementary interrogations (Ahem! I mean, conversations) with friendly staff, to a baggage allowance policy that's as generous as your aunt during the holidays.

Pssst... Here's a cheeky little nugget of wisdom for those of you sweating bullets over when is the best time to book: Southwest releases its flight schedule months in advance! That's right, we’re talking about Butterfly Effect level of planning, so you can sit back, relax, and explore every 'what if' scenario your heart desires. This way, you can score those much coveted flight deals before they disappear faster than a magician’s rabbit.

So, are you packed yet? I'm just joking! Don't rush off to stuff everything but the kitchen sink and your embarrassing collection of porcelain cats into your suitcases. Take a moment, catch that excited breath of yours and join Southwest's mileage program if you are a frequent flyer. Because let’s face it, frequent flyers deserve something extra and not just that middle seat with no leg room!

Life's too short for last-minute flights – unless, of course, they come with a red-eye flight option on Southwest and you have the ability to sleep like a hibernating bear in winter. In which case, go ahead!

To wrap it up, pack up those imaginary bags and get yourself ready to fly from the undefined in Detroit to Los Angeles, the city that is basically a giant, golden selfie zone. And remember, the longer the flight duration, the longer you get to enjoy Southwest's joie de vivre, or as I like to call it ‘joie de fly’. See you in the sky!
