Also, whats the difference between a "connecting flight" and "a stop"

I'd take the $160ish one. Leave early for your destination, go home in the p.m., not too late.

Connecting flight means you have to change planes. Stop means you don't. You stop in a city, pick up passengers and then continue on.

I'd do the non-stop... I don't like the flight times on the last one and why leave at the same time only to arrive 2 hours later. It's worth the extra $20 to me. No worries about missed flights and one less place to go through and lose luggage.

also way i understand you get charged taxes for everytime to touch down or take off.

I would take the non-stop...I'd take it for an extra $50, let alone an extra $20. So worth it! I've taken too many connecting flights where the intial flight was delayed and ended up missing the connection. No thank you!

Non stop from me too. I don't enjoy flying, and once up and down is waaaay better to me than more than that.

 

[browneyes]

I've never flown, so I'm no help.

Von, are you planning another family get together?

Option 1-Non-stop.... unless every dollar counts.

I don't like the 54 minute window between arrival and departure in NY(granted it's a frequent well-trod route)...you never know.

Then again, I hate to wait too long.


Bon voyage!

I ALWAYS book non-stop when it is an option. Choice #1!

good god no!!!!! I'm going to chicago for one of my best friends graduations. she came to my grad last year and i'm going to hers.

I REALLY want the non stop flight (I HATE flying), but as most of you know i'm unemployed so, we'll just see how things go.

Another non-stop vote. The price isn't that much more, and it is sooo worth the extra few dollars.
