Never thought I would see the day it is cheaper to fly than to drive
but that day is here.

I need to go from DC to Chicago in June and even with my 35 mpg car, flying is cheaper. LOTS cheaper.

Amazing.

4. Unfortunately
The way the airlines are cutting back on service...the aggravation is not worth the savings of time or money.

6. I'd rather not get a meal onboard than drive 2 days.
It all depends.

7. 2 hours on a plane VS 10 hours in a car
Plus it's LOTS cheaper. I think I can handle two hours of aggravation.
