Fly Southwest: PLS to Huntington, West Virginia

Hey there, my fellow traveler! If you're anything like me, the thrill of going on a trip never fades. No matter how many places I've visited or how many flights I've caught, the journey is just as exciting as the destination. Today, I want to share a little about my recent experience flying Southwest from Providenciales to Huntington. Spoiler alert: it was definitely worthwhile.

I'm often asked, "When's the best time to book a flight?" To be honest, there isn't a clear-cut answer. In my experience, it's more about catching the right deals and knowing when airfare typically drops. With Southwest, I've found that it's best to book a few weeks in advance. They keep releasing different flight deals, so keep your eyes peeled!

Now let's delve into the actual journey. To begin with, the flight schedule for Southwest from Providenciales to Huntington was quite convenient. They offered a variety of times for departure, making it easy to align with my personal itinerary. However, all flights were connecting with a one-way flight duration of about 7-8 hours, including layovers. If non-stop, direct flights are your jam, Southwest also provides a few options to select cities—but Huntington was no such luck.

Once on board, I must say, I was really impressed by the in-flight services. I'm usually an economy class type of person – perfect balance between comfort and cost – but I decided to treat myself this time to premium economy. The extra legroom and minor perks did make the journey more comfortable. If you happen to be a frequent flyer and have racked up points in Southwest's mileage program, this could be a worthy way to use them.

Remember how back in the day, flight food was, well... 'flight food'? Southwest is changing that stereotype. The food was filling and tasted pretty good. A definite improvement from the usual microscopic sandwiches that barely serve the purpose!

An important thing to note, especially for those who like to pack everything but the proverbial kitchen sink like me, is the airline's baggage allowance policy. Southwest offers two free checked bags—which is frankly a rare treat these days. Think of it as an opportunity to bring back even more souvenirs!

Possibly the only downside of my travel was the layover. While some people love them as a chance to stretch their legs or explore a new airport, I'm not a fan. But hey, that's just my personal preference. The connecting flights do make the round-trip journey longer, but they can also help to significantly reduce the airfare. A fair trade-off if you ask me.

Also, let's not forget about Southwest's flight cancellation policy. Their no frills attached and customer-friendly cancellation policy won me over. As long as you cancel at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled departure, Southwest allows you to reuse the fare towards future travel. It's a pretty forgiving policy compared to some others out there.

Although I was initially skeptical about my choice—mostly because I'm more of a domestic flights’ traveler—the international expedition was indeed delightful. The next time you're scouting for cheap flights, definitely consider the Southwest from Providenciales to Huntington. Safe travels, my friend!

P.S. If you happen to take a red-eye flight, make sure to pack a cozy neck pillow. Trust me, it'll be a game-changer!
