I flew from Atlanta to Dallas one time, to get to Europe. To save a few bucks. (while somebody probably flew from New York to Atlanta to Fly to Europe, to save some money)
But if you fly NY to Iceland, why not use Lux Air?

My sister-in-law...to save a few bucks.... flew from Beijing, to Hong Kong, to Australia, to Japan, to NY.
My oldest had to be at a conference in Virginia and the conference folks were paying for the ticket. He decided to see what they booked. Going...was NY to Va. Returning was Virginia, to Boston, to Georgia, to NY....and he checked and the ticket was almost 2 times the cost of a direct flight. He called them and got them to change it or he was not going.

and back in the day World Travel was something to aspire to!
Nice slow day...training my new coworker, who was the person that trained me for my initial job back when I was a lonely intern. It's a really weird situation to me

Oh and I forgot to mention in my oldest flight back from Virginia...there was a 22 hour layover in Boston..... we live 4 hours from Boston
The layover alone would be longer than the drive.

yup, and that was a 22 hour layover in Boston, to get a flight to Georgia for a 8 hour lay over, to then get a flight to NY...and he would have started in Virginia.
So, basically, by driving, he could outrun the plane to Georgia and then home.

By driving he could have out run the plane from Virginia to Boston, Boston to Georgia and Georgia to NY.
Direct flights are sooooo worth it.
Our next trip is to Cancun, and even though I think United is about the worst airline ever, we're flying with them. Because they're the only direct flight, and the flights with layovers all have silly long layovers. An hour or two at DFW, fine. There's an Irish Pub there that makes the best Bloody Mary in the world. But 8-10 hour layover? Nope. We will grit our teeth and fly United.

Oh, right UNITED is the crappiest airline ever....
Delta if I can't have Lufthansa....but on my light beer budget....
That's pretty much what it takes to get me to choose United. Unfortunately, one of my clients (who books all my travel for them) seems to be enamored with them.

American or Northwest business class or higher will feed you if the flight is over 2 hours. Good, not great food. You also get 2 alcoholic drinks and all the soda/tea you want. With Southwest you are lucky to get peanuts. And a beer cost $7.00. If the flight is less than 2 hours I go with whatever is cheapest.
Yeah. You know you can't actually open the door while the plane is pressurized, right?
I always chuckle when I see reports of people freaking out because some drunk tries to open the door. It's literally impossible.
Yeah, the amenities are nicer in business class and up.
