[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3932418, member: 27098"] If your destination is less than 1100 miles, I recommend driving. These are the reasons: 1) Most of the time there will be at least one stop for several hours in an airport increasing the odds of flight cancellation 2) If you aren't flying first class you will always have a toddler behind you crying and/or kicking the back of your seat 3) If it is an adult they will freak the minute you put your seat back. Why be part of a youtube video? 4) You will have no leg room unless you get a first class seat 5) You will not have a super model sit next to you, it will be some guy who hasn't washed his armpits in two weeks, they will fall asleep resting their greasy hair on your shoulder while drooling on your shirt or jacket, he will weigh 275 to 300 lbs as well. 6) Assuming you drive, odds are it will be about 15 to 17 hours on the road, you will not need to rent a car at your destination. If you fly with time spent checking in, the flight, layover, waiting for your luggage to never show up, then off to the car rental were the Mustang convertible was reserved you will get a Suzuki Esteem because your car was given to someone else. By the way, you get to wait in line there too... Total time 16 to 18 hours 7) Want to bring your firearm? Better check in 30 minutes earlier and have to go pick it up at an office that takes forever to retrieve it, assuming they haven't lost it. 8) You control the car, you can get real meals instead of the obligatory hand full of peanuts and 1 5 oz glass of soda 9) Odds are you didn't have your travel plans written on the back of a cocktail napkin, on a plane the pilot did put his flight plan on the back of a cocktail napkin. 10) You may catch the next big thing in virus' from the tourist who drooled on you, you later found out when he tried to talk to you he was visiting from a foreign country you never heard of. By the way, much of this was pre covid. Don't ask me how I know... [/QUOTE]
