I once got booked Roanoke-Pittsburgh-Chicago-St Louis-Columbia MO. All layovers *short* enough to induce "run through the airport" panic behavior (and stopping for food was out of the question).
A _really_ intelligent airline scheduling system would (IMHO) be able to offer you options like "there is a direct flight Pittsburgh -> Kansas City, and from there it is a 2 hour drive to Columbia, so that will save you 5 hours travel time" Regards Marshall
Oh, and I *hate* takeoffs and landings.
