I met someone from Kansas and they talked about how it wasn't so bad and that they still can vacation to see cool places.
Then they talked about their 12 hour road trips to Wisconsin and Southern Texas and it made me feel kinda sad for them!
Road trips beat commercial flights though imo
There is a certain minimum threshold before bothering to take a flight becomes viable, and that's if your flight is about 3 hours long or more. Otherwise you may as well drive if you can, because the amount of time you spend getting to the airport, getting fondled by the TSA, checking in, waiting to board, standing around in lines, waiting for your bags to show up, renting a car at your destination, etc. all adds up to be the same as just driving. It's not actually any faster to fly when it still takes all damn day.
And then you can bring all your knives or weed or liquid bottles more than two ounces or whatever it is you're into without getting thrown into Gitmo and when you arrive you already have your car (or motorcycle).
Hard disagree, driving from Bilbao to Seville is like 8 hours, the flight is below 2. Accounting for airports and commutes, the plane method is still about 4h, that's half the time and you can sleep.
I'm going to Montreal next month and we're driving because the flights from Columbus aren't that much faster.
