For kicks, I looked at the most agonizing trip options... I chose a trip from San Diego to New York City... the worst were:
1) Tijuana to Mexico City, 16hr hour layover, then to Newark NJ and cost over $1k.
2) Tijuana to Guadalajara for an 8hr layover, then to Atlanta for a 1.5hr layover to New York LGA. Made all the more agonizing when you arrive in NY and customs express interest in your decission to stop over south of the border for a couple of hours.
As others have said -- agony's a nice idea, but the real value gets added when you can weight the elements according to your personal preferences (and the site can then capture how people choose to weight various inconveniences in order to (i) improve their own algorithms, and (ii) sell on to other interested parties).

right and be able to crank the agony up based on a given airport (ATL... I am looking at you here) Andrew
