A nonstop flight is usually worth paying more when the time saved is large, your connection would be tight, or you are checking bags. Direct flights remove the biggest delay risk of all: the missed connection. For short domestic hops the premium is often small, so weigh the fare gap against the hours saved and

One-way flights can cost more than round trips mainly on full-service and international carriers, where special round-trip fares, minimum-stay rules and discounted booking classes are not offered on a single leg.

Your feet and ankles swell on flights because you sit still for hours while the low cabin pressure encourages fluid to pool in your lower legs — gravity does the rest. It’s usually harmless.
