Fly Southwest: MCI to South Bend, Indiana

Ready to set yourself on a journey extraordinary, are you? Ah, the very thrill of flying Southwest from an undefined location in Kansas City all the way to the wondrous South Bend. A trip straight from the hay-filled pastures of good ol' Kansas to the majestic cornfields of Indiana. It's like exchanging one type of grain for another type of grain - it's a carbon copy but then again, isn't it what makes the world go round?

Now, if you're looking for the San Tropez or Malibu of the Midwest, you might want to lower the bar a smidge. But, as the discerning traveler that you are, wouldn't it be an absolute kick to experience something authentically non-glamorous? And imagine the travel cred you'd get from recounting your bold journey on a Southwest 'Direct flights' to this unpolished diamond. It's a story that you would tell to your friends at every social gathering, isn't it?

So, now that you're rarin' to go, let's talk about the "airfare." Now, don't put those frown lines into overdrive, darling. This isn't the time to dread this sad but necessary reality of travel. This isn't some swanky 'First-class' deal that's going to require you to break your piggy bank or sell your grandma. Your wallet won’t bleed; it will merely squirm. Just a little.

Know what's better than cheap? Well, 'Cheap flights', of course! It's an oxymoron in the fullest bloom. Who knew 'economy class' could be so chic? You, yes, you! Now you can effortlessly afford this wonderfully commoner 'round-trip'. Watch the rise and fall of the sun and do it again, as you fly halfway across the heartland. Swoosh!

Is that a flicker of uncertainty I see in your eyes? Well, let me reassure you. Will you have to play Russian roulette with your schedule? Nah, my friend. 'Non-stop' is the key flavor of the day. So, rest assured, there won't be any annoying 'connecting flights’. And remember, every moment you're not wasting on some dingy 'layover' is an extra moment you can spend counting cornstalks in South Bend. Aren't you a lucky duck?

To sweeten the deal, let's talk about 'Baggage allowance'. Are you thinking about carrying that giant goofy hat or the life-size cut-out of your pet that you simply can’t leave behind? Fear not! Southwest believes in 'the bulkier, the merrier.' Your most unique packing needs are heartily welcomed. Is it void of logic? Maybe. But isn't that the beauty of 21st Century air travel?

Southwest has some bizarre kind of magic working in their favor. Their 'flight schedule' offering lets you see the cycle of life from take-off to landing with the kind of surgical precision that's unlikely, yet oddly riveting. You can plan to observe the majestic pattern of cornfields glowing in the moonlight or sun-drenched wheat fields from the tiny airplane window.

Let's not skim on 'in-flight services'. Once aboard, you become royalty. That's right! Southwest serves peanuts with pride and aplomb and their soda pouring skills would make a sommelier blush. World-class luxuries at economy class? You betcha!

So, fellow adventurer, ready to take on this wild journey on Southwest's magic metal bird? A trip on a humdrum plane with 'flights' that defy expectations and aim, like the noble arrow, towards South Bend? Well, congratulations! You're on your way to becoming a true Cornfield Conqueror. So, gear up and embrace the sheer ordinariness of your new found travel adventure.
