Indirect flying

[Fourdents]

I have never taken an in-direct flight. Please can anyone tell me what is the easiest, best route to do for a 'first-timer' ?

What airline is the best to take with in-direct flights ?

In the past I have flown indirect with both Delta and US Airways, wasn't a lot of difference between the two of them to be honest.

I have flown Monarch to Maine and then down to Sanford which was fine.

I have done mix and match in the past Virgin/Continental, BA/Delta, I have to say I avoid it now but its personal choice[msnwink]

We have flown indirect with Continental. only because they are now doing flights from Bristol to New York, and the onard flights to Orlando are every 2 hours or so. So if you are delayed, you can always catch the next one.

Time wise your could probably at another 2 to 3 hours on the journey from Bristol.

But with the flight prices at the moment there doesn't seem to much of a difference with flying from Bristol than Gatwick. But am I still checking.

We are going indrect in two weeks from Bristol and then a Direct flight in December. We only booked the direct flight at Xmas as we did not want to get stuck in New York if the weather turns bad. But in the summer would definetley do an indirect flight. so save the pennies

We've done indirect flights via Bangor, Gander, Atlanta and Chicago, I actually never minded them, they split up your flight time nicely. Great if you are a smoker! (i are not a smoker any more so I are not bothered).[^]

We've done loads of indirect flights via Newark, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, etc, etc! None of them were particularly awful (we got a hotel stopover in Chicago one year but that's another story and nothing to do with Chicago) and this next trip we're doing a changeover in Miami.

We find it nice having a bit of a break to stretch our legs and also get Immigration and Customs over with at the first airport so that we can just whiz off and collect our car at Orlando.

I've done atlanta, cincanatti & washington and it does make a nice break. Also if you are lucky/unlucky to get bumped on the way back at the stop-over city , it does give time to have a brief explore of somewhere we wouldn't have considered before.

Although we have not done many, the indirect flight that we dont mind doing is with US Airways changing at Charlotte. All Immigration and Customs are done at Charlotte, which is much easier and quicker than MCO. When you reach Orlando you just collect your luggage and car and off you go[clap]

We flew indirect for the first time at Easter. On this occasion we flew with US airways via Charlotte and couldn't believe how easy it was.
We have since flown to Miami via Frankfurt with Lufthansa, agin no problem at all.
I would always give it serious consideration now, especially if there was a bargain to be had.[msnwink]
