Fly Southwest: MHT to Corning, New York

Oh, the joy of travel! The exotic locales, the spicy foods, the comically oversized hats purchased at roadside stands, and lest we forget—the inescapable dread of booking flights. Yes, dear reader, we are embarking on a humorous journey through space, time, and the overwhelmingly labyrinthine world of Commercial Aviation. So grab your neck pillow and fasten your virtual seatbelt, because we’re talking about flying on Southwest, from the fabled 'undefined' in Manchester to the glittering metropolis of Corning.

First off, I know what you're thinking: "Undefined? Is that even a place?" And at this point, I would tip back my head, let loose a hearty guffaw, and inform you that indeed, it is not. What a clever audience you are! But fear not—we are merely using it to symbolize the wide array of possibilities when it comes to flight departures. Or maybe it’s just a glitch in the system, who knows?

Now, you would think one-way and non-stop flights are a dime-a-dozen, or rather a hundred greenbacks a piece considering the crazy airfare these days. Yet, our friends at Southwest have the uncanny ability to offer cheap flights that still allow their employees to remain fully clothed (we all know the 'no-frills' stories from other airlines). No, at Southwest, non-stop and one-way does not mean you will be catapulted from one city to the next. You actually get to sit (comfortably, I might add) in their planes!

Let’s dive into the conundrum of baggage allowance. I mean, who really understands it? Well, certainly not my grandma who insists on carrying her record collection from the '70s every time she flies. But guess what? With Southwest, even she manages to sneak her vinyl antiques past the check-in desk, and all without having to sell a kidney. Who said hoarding has no rewards?

Perhaps you're a frequent flyer? Or maybe you diligently collect every single air mileage from your cereal packs hoping to at least get a free trip to your neighbor's backyard? Well, you're in luck! Southwest’s mileage program doesn’t just give you bragging rights at every dinner party. Instead, they actually offer benefits like faster check-ins, early bird seat selections, and yes, redeemable flight points so you might just about manage to vacation farther than your porch steps after all!

Moving on, who among you has encountered the mythical 'best time to book'? You know, that elusive window wherein a round-trip to Corning costs less than your daily pumpkin-spiced latte? Oh, my friends, with Southwest you don’t need to employ the dark arts or decode ancient hieroglyphics to find it. You just need a functioning internet connection, and keep an eye on their flight schedule and voila!

But what about in-flight services, I hear you ask? If you've ever been stuck on a red-eye flight, squeezed between a persistent talker and a snoring gentleman, you must know that a half-decent meal and a small semi- comfortable pillow can feel like a divine intervention. In the sky-high sanctuary of Southwest, you can enjoy a variety of inflight services that could make even the grouchiest of travelers crack a smile.

If you ask me, Southwest might not take you to Hogwarts or the Emerald City. They don't offer flights on magic carpets or broomsticks. But they do offer valuable flight deals and a fairly flexible flight cancellation policy. So, if you enjoy courteous staff, slightly quirky humor during safety presentations, and having both of your kidneys intact after you’ve paid for your ticket, Seriously consider Southwest for your next indefinable adventure!

Safe travels, globetrotters!
