| Moderator  |  Non-Stop vs. One Stop - Airfare Watch I was just checking some airfare to see if anything has changed and the airfare swing is very wide. The options (2 tickets) right now are: Non-Stop SY - $568.80 AW - $578.40 NW - $588.80 1-Stop AA - MSP-STL-LAS $439.60 UA - MSP-ORD-LAS $829.60 I really didn't want to mess with connections, but American might get a second look. |

| Agent Smith  | Re: Non-Stop vs. One Stop - Airfare Watch Another $100 is well worth the non-stop. Saving a little dough is nice until your first leg leaves late, then you misconnect! If the non-stop's delayed, you're still going to make it. |

| Moderator | Re: Non-Stop vs. One Stop - Airfare Watch Well after checking with TheWife, she put the kabosh on saving a little dough with the connections. Her exact words were, 'For the extra $130, I'd rather go non-stop and not worry about the connections." I mentioned what Doug replied to my original post and she says, "See, even an airline pilot is telling you the same thing". Doug, why'd you have to agree with her.?   Anyhow, the non-stops do offer a better schedule and more time in SinCity.  Now if I can just find a good price on the hotel, I'd be set. |

   | Re: Non-Stop vs. One Stop - Airfare Watch Non-stop is worth the extra $100-$150. You wanna sit on your butt waiting for an airplane, or do you want to be in Vegas? What's your time worth? |

| Re: Non-Stop vs. One Stop - Airfare Watch you just have to look at as its only 50 bucks each way to fly non stop. So ask yourself is 50 bucks worth not missing my connection if my first flight is delayed. did that make sense?  |
