A couple of weeks ago I was in MSP trying to get to SLC. I had the option of a direct flight that was showing full and an option that connected through RAP. The MSP to RAP and RAP to SLC flights were very open (20+seats). Both flights leaving at the same time so I could only pick one option.What would you do? Chance the quicker direct route with a possibility of not making it on or the connecting route that you should make both flights. Also, there was not much time difference. The route through RAP only took an extra hour to get to SLC.Anyways, I took the chance with the direct flight and I made it on. I just thought it would be interesting to see what others might do. It might be a little different if I was at an airport with only 1 flight a day and if you missed out you would have to stay overnight.Tony
