SALT LAKE CITY — What is most important to you when you're booking an airline flight?
Whether it's snagging a bargain price, a flight that matches your schedule, live TV and wi-fi or roomier seats, a new website called Routehappy promises to make flyers happier.
The website combines price, schedules, and extras into a "happiness score" of between one and 10. So, a flight offering more personal space and entertainment options, wi-fi, even USB charging ports, will very likely score higher in making flyers happy.
"We would definitely pay a little more for amenities, Internet service, legroom, cleaner plane, what not," said one flier.

However, according to Routehappy you might not have to pay more to get the amenity you want.
On a round trip flight between Salt Lake and New York, a JetBlue non-stop did not offer USB ports or Wi-Fi. Delta's plane had both, and that ticket cost $39 less. But JetBlue's plane features seats at least 3 inches wider than Delta's.
That's the point behind Routehappy - allowing consumers to shop by factors that matter to them.
There are no memberships or fees to use RouteHappy.
