Fly Southwest: IAH to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

If you're lucky enough to be openly flirting with the idea of jetting off from undefined (presumably somewhere in the solar system we hope) in Houston to the sun-bleached utopia that is Myrtle Beach, congratulations are indeed in order. But hold your horses, fellow voyager, as getting there is half the battle. Now, the journey itself is as vital as your destination, particularly if it happens to involve Southwest Airlines' non-stop flights, famed for in-flight services which, it must be said, mirrors an existential quest to find illusive lost comforts.

Now, in the ceaseless pursuit of cheap flights, you’re likely to confront many existential dilemmas. ‘Round-trip or one-way? To layover or not?' These poignant sagas that have teased the travelers' minds since time immemorial (or at least since the invention of flight). On Southwest Airlines, it is reasonable to anticipate the eradication of such conundrums.

Let's talk round-trip versus one-way first. Are you merely smitten by Myrtle Beach or are you planning to shack up with high-tide harmonies forever? This realization is instrumental in making your choice. Southwest, like an empathetic therapist, welcomes both commitment-phobes and ever-lasting lovers by offering one-way and round-trip options with equal fervor.

So, you're not planning to become a beach bum forever and decide on a round-trip. Excellent call! Now, what about the cruel irony of layovers? There’s nothing more tragic than reaching your final destination only after you’ve had to make 'friendly' small talk in seven different languages whilst spending the night on questionably clean airport lounges. Well, not to worry. With Southwest’s non-stop service, you can wave farewell to the tormented nights of layovers and canned airport coffee. Haven't we all had enough of those?

Of course, securing that perfect flight deal is not always akin to a walk in the park (or in this case, a beach). It involves straddling the tightrope between ‘What on earth is Premium Economy?’ and ‘You want me to pay how much for a slightly reclining seat?’ But fear not, because Southwest is here to save you the turmoil. They've mastered the art of blending comfort, affordability, and a certain je ne sais quoi that screams: ‘Welcome! Here’s your complimentary peanuts.’

Believe it or not, the highest compliment one could ever bestow upon an airline is about its baggage allowance. With their generous horde-anything-you-want policy, Southwest silently assents: 'Yes, we understand!' As long as you’re not attempting to check in the grand piano you invariably won at a Houston raffle, you're good.

Once on board, don’t forget to explore the in-flight services. Southwest promises a gallivanting ride through the air complete with Wi-Fi, food, and unapologetically smiley attendants who religiously follow the unspoken code of 'The customer is always right!’. They also don’t seem to mind if you leave the wrappers in the seat pocket. Although even for them, leftover food might just be crossing a line.

So, you enlightened traveler, before you embark upon your journey, remember the ‘best time to book’ is usually shrouded in as much mystery as the origin of undefined Houston. Pursue the flight schedule, scour for flight deals, and always hope for the best. But rest assured, on flying Southwest from undefined Houston to Myrtle Beach, a delightful journey awaits you — replete with warm sun, sandy beaches, and hopefully, no bizarre surprises hidden in the airplane meal!
