Direct flights minimize travel time but are often more expensive and may be limited in frequency; connecting flights offer more flexibility and potentially lower fares.

If you value speed and fewer touchpoints, prioritize nonstop (if available), but if budget and seat availability are top priorities, a one-stop itinerary is typically the best compromise.
