Imagine you have to fly from Europe to the West Coast of the US. There’s no non-stop flight to your final destination; you will need to connect somewhere in the US. Which of these options would be your preference? Assume other factors (cost, total travel time, level of service) are about equal on both flights, and assume they’re both on the same airline.

  • Connect somewhere on the East Coast. You’ll have a relitively shorter transatlantic flight, but it will be followed by a long domestic flight across the US.
  • Connect somewhere on the West Coast. You’ll have a really long international flight but it will be followed by a really short domestic flight.
  • Other / I base my decision on some other factor / I have to select this option just to be contrarian.
