which flight would you rather take?
I'm flying Southwest in December and wanted to know which flight was better. It's from Tampa to New Hampshire and it goes from Tampa to North Carolina (This leg doesn't change planes) and then North Carolina to Philidelphia (1 plane change) and then Philly to Manchester. So there is 2 stops, but both of the flights are only about like an hour and a half, right? Or there is from Tampa to Baltimore and Baltimore to Manchester. So there is only one stop but both flights are about 2 hours long. The travel time for the 2 stop flight is 7 hours and 50 minutes. For the 1 stop flight it is 4 hours and 20 minutes. I know the first one sounds longer but the flights are both really short. So which one would you rather take? They are both the same price, 99 dollars. I am a 16 year old traveling alone and I hate flying lol. So I like the first one better because they are short flights. Which one would you rather take? I have flown american, united, us air, british air, and southwest. Southwest and British Air are the only ones I will take again. (Obviously I can't fly British Air to New Hampshire) Southwest is also the cheapest out of all the airlines as Jet Blue doesn't fly to Manchester NH

I would not take either of those flights if I had an alternative. Have you checked the other airlines?

If you are traveling alone - you're best off with the route that involves no plane changes. If that doesn't concern you - one other simple factor you can base your decision on is the availability of good seats. You can use a site like www.seatguru.com to look up the type of plane (based on the airline) and it will show you which rows/seats are okay versus really bad. You can compare the options for the different flights and pick based on that (assuming the online reservation process for the airline you're using allows you to view available seats). Good luck and I hope you have a great trip :)

I would rather do the one stop. Tampa to Philly is a long time to stay on the same plane, IMO. Two hours is a very doable flight length, and the connection can't be too long.

I think the worst part of flying is the take-off and landing, so I think you're much better off dealing with the slightly longer flight in order to avoid a separate take-off and landing. Get a new book, CD, or movie (depending on your preferred entertainment, and the equipment you have available to bring on the plane), and the flights will be over before you know it.

I would choose the second one because you only have 1 connection and you arrive at your destination faster. If you are not in a hurry to get to Manchester and like the feeling of airplanes taking-off and landing, then you choose the first option. I don't like having multiple stops because if something happens and your flight is delayed, there is a chance you may not make the other legs of the flights.
