Hey Kathryn - judging by the mass of humanity at DFW every time I fly (which is often), you’re right, it is no picnic for the passenger. That said, hub and spoking allows passengers in smaller cities to have access to the overall network operated by the big carriers. Traveling to bigger spoke cities like MCO can certainly be easier if a nonstop exists from your departure city. If the fare is cheaper, all the better. Randy

Hub and Spoke does NOT serve the passengers despite all the increased connectivity. I don't use my local airport because AA and DL take me to hubs. Going to MCO means I can book nonstops at a cheaper price.
