From theticket-Atlanta.com:

ARE YOU A HAPPY FLYER? Just fiddling around with the new Routehappy website makes us feel happy. Why? After a year of researching, analyzing, and grading aircraft types and amenities, Routehappy applies happiness factors most business travelers care about such as seat pitch, width and layout, entertainment, Wi-Fi, in-seat power, plane quality, and trip duration to help you pick the option flight. In addition, it manually gathers complex information about flights from sources like the airlines website, press releases, staff, industry analysts & influencers, blogs, forums, news stories and reviews from road warriors and route experts. It then applies a happiness score to each flight to help make the best decision. For example, Ive always known that Deltas roomy, jumbo B767 flights between ATL and SFO are much more comfortable than those long, narrow torture tubes known as Boeing 757s. Routehappy exposes that. This sounded very similar to Hipmunks Agony index, which uses an algorithm to rank flights based on price, duration and stopovers. Routehappy seems to have taken flight ranking a step beyond that with more robust information that includes human input.

Interesting--I've bookmarked it, always up for comparison shopping . The guy who kvetched about 757s probably never rode a stretch DC-8 from California to the Philippines with refueling stops in Alaska and Japan.

 

With the shameless Delta plug, time to mention the line I first heard 40 years ago while living in South Carolina, "If you die in the southeast and go to hell, you'll fly Delta and change planes in Atlanta."
