Indirect flying

[jovi]

We flew indirect last May to Atlanta from manchester using Delta We had a very old plane, so that put me off abit plus rude staff, I am not a keen flyer so indirect flights I don't like, we were changed from Virgin to Delta (long story) at the last minute!! Another thing to be careful of with indirect flights is the changeover time, we had just over 2 hours and with ques in custom hall and baggage pick up we just made it to our connecting flight, I wouldn't do indirect again, but I don't like take off and landing so like to get it over and done with, the break up of journey was good, no sooner were we in the air from Atlanta we seemed to be preparing to land at Sandford so that was good, each to their own but it's not for me.[msneek]

Looking at flights for our son to join us for the last 2 weeks of our trip next August. The indirect flights are about £100 cheaper than direct with Virgin, I have to work out is it worth the £100 to fly direct, if there were 4 of us yes but for one I am not so sure. The cheapest BMI flight is £1019.

Does anyone know to look for flights originating in other European countries?

The main reason we chose indirect on this occasion was the price to be honest, 3 of us travelling for under £950!! It has been booked a while, so may have got it cheaper if we had left it[msneek] Knowing you have to leave the plane and find next departure gate, book-in luggage in a shortish time, does help to focus the packing i must admit[msnwink]Could be carry on only at this rate
