Flights of Curiousity

[bjarvis]

I began shopping this morning for flights to the IAGSDC convention in Anaheim at the end of June, with a prior side trip to Portland, OR, for a family reunion, and I'm rather intrigued by the results.

The plan is to fly from the greater DC area --I'm about equidistant between BWI, DCA and IAD so I'm not particular about the departure point-- to PDX for a few days, then on to LAX and flying from LAX directly back to DC. If there are direct flights from LAX to either BWI or IAD, neither Cheaptickets.com, Travelocity nor Orbitz knows of them: all flights seem to have a stopover or plane change before coming to DC. Go figure.

The quest continues...

Why so reluctant to connect? Geez, you'd think you were a New Yorker. I fly almost every week and about 75% of my flights involve a connection; it's no big deal.

I don't much care about direct flights to the west coast but since the return trip will be a red-eye, I'd rather sleep continuously for 5-6 hours than sleep for 90 minutes, wake up, change planes, worry about luggage, drift off to sleep for another 90 minutes & land. At least Kent would be less bitchy.

Well, maybe you can find something that connects near one end or the other... one very long leg and one short one. That's always worked for me when I'm forced to take red-eyes (which I generally avoid).
