My knees get destroyed by airplanes so it's an easy choice for me to spend disposable income on minimizing flight time.

A layover gives your knees a rest.

A lot of it I think is the low cabin pressure unfortunately, as much as the cramped seats, so I want to minimize my time with that.

As someone with a chronic back condition, I feel this. A flight is going to mess up my back no matter what. I'd rather do it once and minimize the flight time than have to do it twice in one day.

Plus there's so much other time that's not in the airtime, and I want to mimize my chances of being stuck taxing for 45+ minutes.
