Rome2Rio is great for seeing a wide range of options, and it's not just limited to flights. If there are good options involving other modes of transport, it shows them, and it has no problem mixing modes of transport.

For example, you can enter "Scotland" to "North Carolina", and it includes options not just flying from both Glasgow (including some direct flights) and Edinburgh, but also involving travelling to London (which could be by train/coach) and flying direct from there.

Add your exact towns (not necessarily airports: the actual locations you're flying to and from) and it'll take transport to and from them into account. Almost door-to-door. If it's easier to fly into a lesser-known airport in a neighbouring state then use other transport to get to your target town, it'll show you.

Of course these still involve a long flight - you're not going to get around the problem of needing to fly over the Atlantic! - but at least there can be only the one flight. Another nice feature of Rome2Rio for nervous travellers is that you can see the actual routes clearly on the map. You can see how similar the distances in each option are (including, for example, that going via Canada is much less of a detour than you might think).

I thought there might be an option involving flying to New York then getting the Greyhound bus to North Carolina, but I guess the difference it makes to flying time is so small, and the difference it makes to total journey time is so huge, it's probably not worth it.

Add your exact towns (not necessarily airports: the actual locations you're flying to and from) and it'll take transport to and from them into account. Almost door-to-door. If it's easier to fly into a lesser-known airport just across the border in a neighbouring state then use other transport to get to your target town, it'll show you.
