It also overstates its effect on total travel time-- which includes all the other nonsense (like the TSA) and planned buffering against uncertain delays that makes it frustrating. You'll burn a day crossing the Pacific either way.
- ghaff 10y agoIt's not even so much TSA--getting through security in the US only takes me 5-10 minutes typically with Pre-Check. But I hate to feel like I'm rushing so I do build in buffer. I have to get to the gateway city (which is almost never Boston), with a reasonable allowance between flights. I'm an hour to the airport. Clearing immigration/customs can take a while. Getting into an Asian capitol from the airport can easily be another hour. As you say, even cutting out 5 to 6 hours isn't that big a deal.
