After my own challenges booking travel, I found Steve Yelvington’s question pretty interesting: “Travel bookings: Do humans do it better?. If you want something a direct flight, the answer can certainly be yes. And, as Steve points out, most software isn’t designed expressly to get you the best deal… just a deal via their site, whether airline or outsider. I’ve some tickets to find for August, and I’m not looking forward to it because once again it’s not a hub destination. The destination is worth it, but the journey can sure take it out of you. (Is that supposed to be a larger metaphor? Nah.)
