Are direct flights more expensive than connecting ones?

 

Sometimes, but not always. Southwest prices flights based on demand—not route length. So a direct flight might cost the same—or even less—than a flight with a stop. Why? Because they cut out the middleman: no extra fuel costs, no airport fees for layovers, no delays piling up. Plus, they often run promotions on popular direct routes like LA to Phoenix or Atlanta to Nashville. Try comparing both options side-by-side. You might be shocked at how close the prices are. And remember: saving time = saving stress. A direct flight cuts hours off your journey. That’s priceless. Skip the hassle. Fly straight. Still confused? Ask them. +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540

Can I book a direct flight for someone else?

 

Yep, no problem. Just enter their full name, date of birth, and email during checkout. They’ll get their own boarding pass sent to them—no sharing accounts needed. You can even add them to your Rapid Rewards list as a companion so you both earn points together. Perfect for family trips, friends traveling solo, or surprise gifts. Just make sure the name matches their ID exactly—no nicknames, no typos. One wrong letter and things get messy. But otherwise? Super smooth. You’re basically the hero who made their trip happen. Celebrate with a snack. Need help typing it in? +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540

Do direct flights have better boarding positions?

 

Boarding isn’t about flight type—it’s about when you check in. Everyone checks in exactly 24 hours before takeoff, and your position is based on that time. First come, first served. So if you check in at 12:01 AM, you get a better spot than someone who waits until 11:59 PM. Doesn’t matter if it’s direct or connecting. But here’s the kicker: direct flights usually have fewer passengers because people avoid layovers. That means more open seats, easier aisle access, and a better chance at sitting with your group. Pro tip: Set an alarm to check in the second it opens. You’ll thank yourself later. Still stuck? Give them a call. +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540
