Agony is our way of sorting flights to take into account price, duration, and number of stops. There's more to a flight than its price, so we provide this sort to give you better all-around results.
Very cool indeed. I'd think that to some the travel time would be weighed much more heavily than the price of the ticket. I hate to fly for work (having been injured in a plane crash) and a bit nervous anyway, but if I am flying for work then then a few hundred bucks is trivial compared to what is riding on the deal. It might be neat of you could adjust the weight of the components of "agony". For kicks, I looked at the most agonizing trip options... I chose a trip from San Diego to New York City... the worst were: 1) Tijuana to Mexico City, 16hr hour layover, then to Newark NJ and cost over $1k. 2) Tijuana to Guadalajara for an 8hr layover, then to Atlanta for a 1.5hr layover to New York LGA.
