Fly Southwest: MCI to Fargo, North Dakota

Gather 'round folks, it's story time again. This juicy tale is one of glorious conquest, mind-boggling bravery, and the mystical realms of air travel--specifically flying on Southwest from Kansas City to Fargo. Can you feel the suspense? I bet you do. So, without further ado, let's dive into the belly of this beast.

Meet our protagonist of the day: "Flights." Simple enough, right? But oh no, my dear reader. Your innocent eyes might be deceiving you. The term "Flights" is a double-edged sword, one that cuts both ways. It means your journey from Kansas City to Fargo might be flying direct... or maybe... just maybe... you'll have to brace yourself for the unmentionably terrifying experience known as "Layover."

Now, if you're a fan of heart-pounding suspense and unexpected twists, a layover might be more your speed. How will you spend these hours? Will the airport have good coffee? Will the complimentary WiFi be unreasonably slow? The drama is almost too much to bear.

If you're the kind of traveler who after one nightmare layover has sworn an oath about sticking only to ‘Non-stop’ from then on, you get a gold star for effort. But, my friend, remember to buckle your seatbelt because turbulence is unpredictable, and trust me, you don’t want your frappuccino flying onto the innocent bystander next to you.

Speaking of the innocent bystander, let's take a minute to commemorate them. Avid flyers everywhere, no matter if you're part of the ordinary everyday 'Economy Class,' or stargazing in the luxurious 'First Class,' you have, at some point, been stuck next to what we call, "The Talker." This is our second protagonist — the person who decides that a four-hour long flight is as good a time as any to unload their life story.

Oh, and remember that haunting aspect of air travel no flyer can escape? Yup, that's right. The ghostly lore of "Baggage Allowance." Cue the horror music. Those three words can leave the burliest of adventurers quaking in their boots. Nothing quite says "I'm bigger than this adventure" than being slapped with an extra fee for the selfie stick you swore would fit into your carry-on, but didn't.

But fear not, fellow travelers, because in this realm of the unknown, there exists a beacon of hope—the 'Frequent Flyer' program. It's like a secret agent perk with a private membership that lets you in on the best 'Flight Deals' and it's all hush-hush. So, make sure you don't brag about it on social media, because, well... it's a secret. Remember?

However, if you're a 'Last-minute flights' enthusiast, I tip my hat to your bravery. With your spontaneous spirit and uncanny knack for snagging sweet deals, you deserve a spot in the Storyteller's Hall of Fame. But, before you get comfortable, remember: the flight-cancellation-policy goblin is always lurking around the corner, eager to gobble up your last-minute flights and laugh at your well-planned spontaneity.

As we arrive at the end of our thrilling tale, here's a final nugget of wisdom: Whether you're a seasoned jet setter, a rookie flyboy, or an innocent bystander in the first-class cabin of life, remember, everybody has their flight stories. After all, every good story begins and ends with a journey, doesn’t it? So here’s to many more ridiculously awesome flights on Southwest from Kansas to Fargo. Safe travels, my friends.
