Sometimes it seems it'd be better just to drive [02 Apr 2008|08:41pm] [ mood | pissed off ] Everyone knows you can sometimes get a better deal with a connection than a direct flight, especially when one carrier has a monopoly over a particular flight. But you'd think that booking that same flight plus another flight would cost more, right? ( Think again... ) In all cases, these were the cheapest flights available. Northwest Airlines' gouging disgusts me, and I'm only mildly less annoyed at whatever authority let this happen. I don't normally say "there should be a law", but if it costs about half as much to fly twice as far (United/American via Chicago), and three times less to have two more flights on your ticket, there's something desperately wrong with our air transportation system. 14 comments|post comment
