Forget Easy Connections
As the International Airline/Airport Operations situation continues on a Global Basis if you want to aviod : Stress, Delayed Baggage,Missed Connections, Absent Crew...GO THE DAY BEFORE.
A $150 a Night Airport Hotel is well worth not having to handle what is now becomming commonplace .
I've been doing this for Many Years especially when flying on International Business or First Class Award Tickets. Mainly on any Asian Airline from USA or Even Via Canada.
