Which UI/Ux is better? horizontally placed search boxes or vertically placed? I am trying to understand which pattern is good in terms of UX/UI and reducing the user's effort

I am thinking in a way that the horizontally aligned search boxes(the upper image)need more effort of eye scanning and entering the details.

The upper image contains the horizontally placed search boxes and the bottom image contains the vertically aligned search boxes

    It would be a good idea to add screenshots/images of what you are describing. It is quite hard to understand.

    Also, can you give us some context? What are you working on? What is the problem you're trying to solve here, and what efforts have you made towards this so far?

Between the 2 options, I find the 2nd option easier to digest. But also consider the following other ways to approach this.

  1. Do some benchmarking on how other airlines and travel apps approach this.

  2. Design a few variations of the design and show it to end-users and ask them to pick one.

  • Thank you for the answer Ameen Akbar! I am working on a college project so I don't have any end-users. so I just wanted to know which pattern is right in terms of UX and UI, also which pattern is easily scanable and reduces user's effort.
