Which carrier to ACC?
 

I'm looking into a trip to ACC in late December, but cannot find any routings right now that doesn't involve a connection either through:

• ADD with ET
• CAI with MS

I would optimally like to get a direct flight from LIS, but I will keep searching. If I had no other choice but these two, which is the lesser of two evils? I am traveling in Y with my wife and two adolescent daughters.

Neither of them are horrible. Beware of ET's 757's, some them only have 30 inches seat pitch however ET sells very cheap C-class upgrades at check-in and has very nice employees. MS generally has a nicer, more consistent hard product than ET but MS is also dry airline and has some of the most surly staff I have ever encountered. CAI and ADD are airports of similar quality.

I would try to get on the TP nonstop or even on TK via IST before I would choose either of those carriers.
