  4. On the Spot: Why seating on flights is up in the air

    Question: Can an airline bump passengers from previously purchased, extra-legroom seats? Last summer we checked in online for a United Airlines Boston-to-San Francisco flight and learned that we had been bumped back to regular coach from our previously purchased Economy Plus seats. We thought paying for the extra legroom seats essentially guaranteed us those seats. Could the fliers in "our" seats have had some frequent-flier elite status giving them priority?

  8. Holiday travel: Fewer fliers, but crowded planes anyway

    For the second year in a row, fewer people are expected to fly during the Christmas-New Year&rsquo;s period, according to <a href="http://www.airlines.org/Pages/Home.aspx" target="_blank">Airlines for America</a>, the major trade group for the industry. But don&rsquo;t count on less crowded skies. Planes will fly fuller as carriers cut capacity to avoid being left with unsold seats, the organization said Thursday.

I haven't gone since 2007 and would like to see our relatives, but the idea of a 12- to 14-hour nonstop flight has become daunting as I have aged and flying has become an experience that can be compared to a root canal. Is there any route or airline that is cost-effective and lets me break up the flight to a reasonable degree?
