It's much preferred to fly home non-stop, I'm sure most of you will agree. Stopovers with transfers are usually confusing and nearly always fucked in some way. Not just because I have to change seats (sometimes the highlight of a long, boring trip) but because the duration of time spent waiting around gnaws at my sense of adventure, however irrational. It's frustrating landing in a big city and not being able to explore. For example, I've been to Houston and New Orleans a dozen times each and never left the airports, only to depart for the next leg of some tedious jaunt. It feels like going to an event, hearing someone of notoriety's lurking about, and never seeing them. Later, someone tells you "Yeah, I met what's-his-face, we smoked purple weed; the guy's a riot, a lot of fun!" - that's lame.
I used to enjoy flying. Now it's all about regulations, obligations, sad eyed attendants and a detention in limbo. Alas, Houston, it was not to be. New Orleans, there's always the next life.

On my recent trip, I had to change planes in Memphis, going and returning both. Because of delays, I had to sprint across that goddamn airport both times!
