Fly American from Little Rock to St. Louis

Oh, just think, the sheer thrill of boarding an American Airlines flight from Little Rock, AR to St. Louis, MO. Who wouldn't be quaking at the knees with anticipation? Even better, the option for a layover in Dallas, Texas. Because when you think top holiday destinations, you absolutely think Little Rock, Dallas, and finally St. Louis.

Choices for this fantastic journey spill out like a cornucopia of mediocre options - round-trip, one-way, or for the truly adventurous souls among us, a magical mystery tour involving a range of connecting flights. Because nothing says vacation like spending hours in the bustling cheer of various airports across the continental United States.

Of course, some cretins among us may go for those cheap flights, the monetary equivalent of selling your very soul to scrape together savings. Personally, as a person of refined taste, I would choose the top-tier, crème de la crème, first-class tickets. In first-class, they have two kinds of complimentary juice and not one, but two types of pretzel snacks. Yes, you realize, this is the life.

The real kick in the teeth of this grand odyssey, however, is the opportunity to earn Frequent Flyer miles which are, of course, the treasure trove for any globetrotter. We're talking about earning one mile per dollar spent. So, if you're a real high roller and opt for a $500 round trip, you have struck gold my friend, and banked a whopping 500 miles. The only catch is that a free flight needs minimum 12,500 miles, so, keep booking those flights, champion!

And then, for the cherry on top, the in-flight services. First off, let's talk about the free in-flight entertainment - the welcoming option of a slightly scratched DVD player or a riveting selection of decade-old sitcom episodes long drained of their comedic appeal. Oh, but they do have headphones provided, for just a small fee equivalent to a week's worth of groceries. Plus, don’t forget the uber plush, paper-thin blankets and pillows that offer all the comfort of a medieval torture rack.

But what if you must, in the face of some insurmountable disaster, cancel your flight from Little Rock to St. Louis? Fear no more! Thanks to American Airlines’ crystal clear flight cancellation policy, you could potentially receive travel credits, or a refund minus the labyrinthine fees and charges. Or you might just lose all your money. They keep it amusingly vague to provide that tantalizing frazzle of uncertainty.

The best time to book, in my highly professional opinion, would be never. But if you have some perverse desire to undertake this journey, try to pick a day mid-month, mid-week, in the dead of night. That’s when the ticket prices are at their absolute lowest because absolutely nobody else wants to fly at that unholy hour.

In conclusion, friends, we are indeed living in glorious times, where the opportunity to fly from Little Rock, AR to St. Louis, MO - with a cheeky little layover in Dallas, Texas - is definitely something to write once and hopefully never again about in breathless anticipation. Yes, indeed. What a time to be alive. And what a flight to remember.
