Oscar, if you want a guaranteed direct flight, book with the airline of the country you are travelling to. It is almost never better to book with a US based airline anymore. Over the last decade their standards of service have dropped dramatically and they simply do not care about your inconvenience. Had you booked Lufthansa for example, you simply could not have been "re-routed" because the US has protectionist laws to prevent foreign carriers from flying any domestic legs. It is almost never a good idea to book US based carriers for international travel... their standards are too low.
