Searches for"cheapest airline tickets" swelled by 240% in the U.S. between April and August this year relative to the prior four-month period, fromBut the savings travelers get from layovers come with tradeoffs —potential consumer annoyances like flight and baggage delaysThere's the obvious time differential — it takes longer to travel with stops than without. But travel delays and cancellations can have cascading effects that impact the remaining legs of your trip.
Of course, travelers may not have the option to choose a nonstop flight, especially if they don't live near a major airport. Those with the option to fly nonstop may find it's worth the extra cash. Those without the option can potentially reduce their number of layovers during a trip — perhaps one instead of two, for example.
Airlines mishandled a larger share of bags from January to June 2022 than in recent years, too. More than 1.4 million bags — 0.63% of the total — were mishandled during that period, versus 709,700 in 2021 and 1.5 million in 2019. Mishandled bags include those that are lost or delayed.
