Today's giant airlines — as well as many smaller ones — make their business on connections. The pervasive "hub and spoke" route system means you can fly from almost anywhere in the U.S. to almost anywhere else with one stop-and-connection at a hub.

Steven Krueger stars opposite Christina Ricci and Juliette Lewis in the Showtime series “Yellowjackets.” “I play coach Ben Scott, who’s the assistant soccer coach,” the actor said. “When our plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness on the way to the national championships, I wind up being the only adult and one of only a few males who are stranded with a group of high school girls.

I'm incredibly lucky to be part of such a rich and complex story. It's been the most challenging and most rewarding role of my career so far.” Though he’s technically based out of Sarasota, Florida, the actor said that over the past two and a half years, he has lived in Los Angeles, Vancouver and Santa Fe, as well as in Florida. “I have my car and a storage unit and not a whole lot else at the moment,” said Krueger. “It has been fun and liberating to realize I can get by with so few actual belongings.”
