I think it really depends. It usually takes me three flights to get anywhere (I live in a rural area), and it took four to get to Adelaide. Any individual flight is probably not a problem but back when I was traveling about 30% of the time, in aggregate it became pretty onerous, not just because of time spent loitering around airports but mainly because of things like the increased incidence of lost bags, missed connections, etc. I've noticed that most of the people doing the kvetching are people who I believe have to travel quite a bit. For those for whom the IETF is their only meeting it's probably not a big deal, but for people who are on the road a lot it can become really very wearing.
