Eh, it's all relative! There might be a higher chance, but I don't think I've heard directly of people having problems with that. Not sure it's a big difference.Douggie wrote: I heard in the north they are stricter with checking, so there's a chance you might miss the plane (I heard 2 hours is just not enough to transfer planes), so I tend to choose going back through Atlanta instead of Newark or Cincinnati. So I don't know if that's still a bad choice?
As I say, often the problem is more the airport than the airline. And the problem with airports is usually not that they're bad, just that the traffic/number of people in them is high, increasing the chance of problems and delays for everyone. O'Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson are the two most heavily-used airports in the world. Heathrow and even Frankfurt am Main are pretty much in the same category. Something like Schiphol, on the other hand, is a big airport with much more reasonable amounts of traffic, so it's usually much better to fly through.
(My brother flew through Detroit yesterday btw, also one of the rather busy ones, on Northwest airlines, and had no problems whatsoever. Even his guitar arrived safe.)
They're okay. I usually look up tickets through them and then contact airline agents. Sometimes the latter have better deals. If you can, I'd check with the airline's own agent directly before buying.Oh yeah, another question: anybody having experience with Expedia or Orbitz?

I think I've only missed a connecting flight a couple times in my life, and it was always there. But then again, when that's where I'm departing from or if its my final destination, I love it.
