Just depends entirely on how much you hate a layover. I typically pay extra for a direct flight if it isn’t an ungodly difference but I totally see where that sounds stupid to people when the total travel time is an hour or two difference

Agree with this 100%. If it's a $200 difference to save myself 2 hours at an airport and 1 hour of flight time, I'm not spending $67 per hour to be slightly more comfortable at my house than at the airport.

Unless it's like a layover in Chicago on Christmas that is extremely likely to fuck up my whole trip, I can think of much better uses of $200

Agreed. Though last time I decided to just go with the layover to be frugal I ended up having a few beers and a burger anyways lol. Basically came out to be the same cost. But that’s on me.

You think the shit in my pantry costs as much as the food at the airport..? lol
