So I have a dilemma. Apart from a few days difference in date and 10-$50 in price, I currently have a few different options for my flights, and I'm honestly not sure which I prefer.
The miminum amount of flights I can have with my return itinerary is 8. For those of you confused by that, it's normally 6, but I'm stopping over in another city on the way there so it adds a couple.
Here's my issue. I can either get to the U.S spend 10+hours in L.A airport before going to my stopover city, then a couple days later, return to LA, spend another 10+ hours in LA before my last flight to my SO. And then on my return 6 months later (so long that it doesn't really matter) have another 10 or so hours in LA. Let's not forget the fact that I'm too familiar with that airport already, lol.
My other option is a 9 or 10 flight intinerary. The benefit of this is that I never really have to stop and wait, I'll be always on the go, however I hate the idea of extra flights, having to go through more security check points etc and in some cases have very short connection times, in some cases only and hour and 15 before an international flight (too short in my opinion).
My concern with the first is that I'll simply go crazy and get sore and tired. It happens but is acceptable. The second alternative means I have to get on and off more flights (often frustrating at the best of times) and I chance that some connections may not quite be long enough.
Which would you go for? I know that some people would much prefer to be on the go so that they would feel like they were actually getting somewhere. Which I perfectly understand, it's going to be a pain just sitting there, wasting so much time in the airports, but I'm wondering which you think is better, because I'm pretty much chasing my tail on this one.
