Adams, as usual, doesn't let facts and his own hypocrisy get in the way of a catchy blog post.

His choosing an airline ticket took a long time precisely because he WASN'T satisfied with "less". If he really wanted less information or fewer options and choices, he could have just used Orbitz without checking JetBlue and the United site, Or he could have just picked a single carrier and taken whatever flight they had available. But he wanted more -- he wanted to know about every possible detail and every available carrier. If he wants to know who to blame for the long time it took him to pick his ticket, he need only look in the mirror.

Coincidentally, I used Orbitz for the first time just two days ago after an unpleasant experience with a human travel agent who I felt was trying to push me into options and prices I did not want. By comparison, Orbitz was much more efficient and offered a good balance between complexity and simplicity IMHO.

Yeah, I'm kinda tired of his whiney posts.

Adams needs to spring some of that Dilbert money and hire a good PA. Hey presto, pay the PA $150k, and life is simplified.
