Would you book a connection through LAX on purpose over a tighter routing?

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through LAX with a longer stop.

The appeal is great long-haul choice plus strong Pacific routing. The hesitation is road traffic killing city plans.

Would you intentionally route through Los Angeles if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose LAX 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 road traffic killing city plans 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.
