Pay more if it will make the experience significantly better. Oftentimes, paying just a little more will save you tons of headaches and potential problems. As an example: if Flight A is $100 but has a layover of 3 hours, and Flight B is $160 but direct (saving you 4 total travel hours), always go for Flight B. I have chosen A many times, only to be stuck on the runway, standing hours in security, missed my connecting flight, and so on.
