For all the intrepid explorers out there, who dare to add extraordinary tales to their travel repertoire, Allegiant Airlines offers you the extraordinary journey from the unsung hero of Steve King's nightmares, Bangor, to the realm shining under the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, aptly christened as Greenville Spartanburg International Airport.
When you board an Allegiant Airline flight, the first thrill-inducing feature is not knowing if your seat will recline or the person in front of you will become an unexpected lap-guest. The old saying “It's not the destination, it’s the journey” really springs alive... and reclines on your lap.
Now, for those unfamiliar with Bangor, it is the Stephen King’s adopted hometown known for its people’s wholesome charm and ability to bristle away King's endless cosmic horror stories. While you’re there, don’t forget to procure a copy of “IT,” the local guidebook to understanding fear in a friendly neighborhood. You never know when Pennywise might pop out for a spot of inflight entertainment while cruising at 30,000 feet.
Once you take to the clear blue skies, you'll start craving the finest cuisine at 30,000 feet. Allegiant Airlines has noble intentions of maintaining your svelte figure by offering miniature servings generously referred to as ‘snacks.’ However, you should consider bringing your own taste pallet, in order to fully experience the culinary grandeur of the airline’s cup-o-soup, cruisers of crackers, or the Everest of edible delights, the quarter sandwich.
But don’t despair! Redeem yourself from this meager feast by indulging in the duty-free shopping extravaganza. A golden opportunity to purchase travel essentials like lint rollers, inflatable neck pillows, and pet rocks, all at excessively reasonable prices, 'cause who wouldn't want a pet rock? It might just outlive the Chia seeds in your sprinkle sarnie.
Once you land in Greenville Spartanburg International Airport, an earthly paradise encompassed by sprawling landscapes, you may feel the immediate need of pure oxygen due to the high altitudes. Shock asides, take a moment to admire the airport's architectural artistry and overnight makeshift sleeping quarters; after all, it might be your next stop on departure, hiccuping with possible delays.
Okay, one moment of seriousness, though. Despite the fondness for fun-poking, let's not ignore the fact that Allegiant Air, the little airline that could, does provide an invaluable connection between two incredibly diverse parts of America, enabling adventures, no matter how bizarre they may feel.
So, travel lovers, lose yourself in the web of witty irony and pack your bags. Savour the guilty pleasure of a cracked-up satirical journey, because there is no better cure for life's absurdities than laughter. Just remember, the only gear you need is a sense of humor and perhaps, a personal snack hamper. Happy traveling!
