Usually the following:
1. Time it takes
2. Time it starts and whether I'll get sleep + If i'll have to take an off.
3. Cost (after considering 1,2)
4. If Costs are too high, optimise for either 1 or 2.
5. If that still doesn't work out, buy the cheapest ticket + plan a day/time to recoup.
All of this goes out for a toss if there is a +1 or family involved. Then we just optimise for everyone's convenience.

What are you working on?
The time between plane departures. I've had a lot of situations when my flights were late. Sometimes this can make things messy (especially if you are in a hurry) :/
Price, time it takes, whether there are any changes (prefer direct), time of day, ease of getting to the departure point, if it's an airline - their policy on luggage
And because your question made this pop into my head - have you heard about the airline that helps travellers to avoid being sat next to screaming babies? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/busin...
@dani_whitehead Yes, I've faced. They look cute until they start crying 🥺 loudly. The article though was really helpful. Thanks for the response.
I consider the below parameters every time I travel:
1. Timing and travel duration
2. Route
3. Reviews
4. Cost of the ticket
My ride has to be comfortable—no compromises. I’m always on the lookout for places where I can get different upgrade options, whether it’s a better seat, extra legroom, or added amenities. Comfort is non-negotiable for me when I travel. That’s why I can’t imagine traveling without a comfort pass anymore https://comfortpass.travel/ . It adds an extra level of luxury and convenience that makes every journey so much more enjoyable
