[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider the value of your time is taking a flight which requires intermediate stops, especially over very long distances.  You may effectively lose most of an additional travel day, depending on the connections, and you may also end up much less well rested if the transfers disrupt sleep.  You also have increased potential for travel disruptions and delays, since you're involving more than a single aircraft and flight segment.

Nonstop flights are expensive, but add value for most people.  [/quote]

Sure nonstops add value but we are talking about $1000 pp for 2-3 hours here. For most of us that is not good value.

Second the recc to fly in/out of Haneda if you can as it is more convenient to Tokyo (you can search WAS—TYO to get all the airport options for those two cities)[/quote]

Is it just 2-3 more hours?  It's 15 hours and 25 minutes nonstop from Dulles to Seoul.  Adding in a layover seems like it would increase total travel time by more than a couple of hours unless you have a pretty tight connection, and then you have the risks associated with missing the second flight if the first one is delayed.  If you can find connections which only add 2-3 hours, maybe that makes sense, but I wonder how feasible that actually is?  [/quote]
