Would you book a connection through BKK on purpose over a tighter routing?
I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through Suvarnabhumi with a longer stop.
The appeal is strong food value plus easy medium layovers. The hesitation is city traffic returning to the airport.
Would you intentionally route through Bangkok if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose BKK on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.
The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.
That said, if city traffic returning to the airport is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.
A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
