A layover punctuates the journey, but far from being a pause, it only adds to the whimsical charm of the adventure. An unforeseen twist in the tale, or the surprise character in the plot – call it what you may, but a layover in an unknown city is nothing short of a tale of its own, waiting to be experienced, perhaps even savored.

The Southwest flight to Cedar Rapids isn't just about the convenience of a clean, sane schedule. It's more than the judicious baggage allowance or the tempting fleet of in-flight services that draws the patron in you. What stands out is the thought, the effort, and the unwavering endeavor that Southwest puts in to make every journey a memorable one - even the most casual, everyday flight.
