Why is it good to fly direct?

When flying direct to a location, you cut down on potential negative variable while traveling. If you have a layover, there is the chance you might miss you flight if your first flight is delayed. Additionally, if you check your luggage there is the chance it is lost between flights. This doesn't always happen but the chance of it happening is there when you book a one or two stop flight. Finally, it is always faster if you are able to fly to a destination directly
