According to a 2007 MeetingNews study, meeting planners favor short, nonstop flights and low airfares for their event attendees. This shouldn't come as much as a surprise, seeing as how event attendees, just like most air travelers, prefer quick flights on their favorite carriers. For this reason, hub cities such as Chicago and Atlanta are often the destinations of choice for planners looking to give attendees direct flight options.
