Fly Southwest: SJD to Los Angeles, California

Prepare to discard your magnifying glass from squinting aimlessly at the tangled web of flight information. Grab your sombrero and breathe in the scent of Mexican BBQ wafting through the air, for we, your trusted flight concierges, will help you decipher the flight hieroglyphs from San José del Cabo to the city where dreams of stepping on countless Hollywood walk of fame stars come true, Los Angeles.

First off, yes dear traveler, you can rejoice as direct flights exist. Oh, you can almost see the angels singing hallelujah in the background as you skip the notorious layover at nondescript airports, where one tires of the soporific aroma of reheated coffee. Southwest is the knight in shining armor, offering non-stop flights to save you from the torment of waiting at an airport staring blankly at the departure board.

Flights from San José del Cabo to Los Angeles come at a variety of prices that look like a gold prospector's dream. Now, before you start pulling out your hair worrying about the airfare, fear not. The Southwest airlines fairy frequently bestows upon us the blessings of cheap flights. Just a general tip from our conspiracy theory corner, casting your net wide on a Tuesday or a Wednesday has been known to magically summon lower prices. Psst! You didn’t hear it from us!

Let’s inhale the moment of truth regarding another jarring reality- the flight duration. You'll be pleased to know that the gods of air travel have decreed that you shall only be airborne for about 3 hours. A timeframe where you could watch an overly dramatic Oscar-nominated movie or engage in a flight version of 'how many licks does it take to get to the center of a lollipop' game.

This of course, is not applicable if you happen to be one of those superhumans who can sleep anywhere. The good lords of Southwest are adding more red-eye flights to their roster. Wonderfully convenient for those fortunate few who can exchange their mortal bodies for a devil-may-care attitude towards time-zones and easily doze off to the lullaby of airplane engines.

But wait, what’s that we hear? Yes, the sweet whisper of legroom in the hushed corridors of economy class. Southwest, it seems, doesn’t believe in the idea of you practicing your contortionist skills mid-air. They have an uncanny knack of actually letting you stretch your legs, a luxury not afforded by many airlines.

Let’s not forget that tantalizing breadcrumb that every airline dangles - the frequent flyer mileage program. Does it actually work or is it as useful as a chocolate teapot? At Southwest, the answer is surprisingly less disappointing. Yes, they do exist and if you're diligent about collecting points much like a stamp collector going after a rare stamp, you might actually score yourself a nearly-free round-trip someday.

Our last pit stop in this journey is the baggage allowance. The dreaded moment when you guiltily stare at your stuffed-to-the-brim suitcase hoping it shrinks miraculously to fit in the dimensions. Again, Southwest comes to the rescue with reasonably generous baggage limits. The grin on your face? Yes, that’s what relief feels like.

Now, dear traveler, we hope we’ve lit the pathway for your upcoming flight. Here's to hoping that your journey from the home of Mexican cuisine to the sparkling city of Los Angeles remains as dramatic as this piece, and half as entertaining. Godspeed!
