If the trip is 1500 miles or less, I will take extra time and drive. I avoid flying whenever possible.
Paying to he herded like cattle, felt up by rude TSA agents, crammed into a tin can with potentially disease-ridden rude, cranky, travellers, screaming babies, and fat, sweaty pigs who have never exercised a day in their lives, and probably never bathed, either.
Anyone who is stupid enough to expose themselves to todays air travel deserves exactly what they get. I don’t know whether to laugh at them or weep for them for willingly subjecting themselves to such indignity.
True words. We flew to Arizona, first time in a long time since we’ve flown, and decided that would be the last if we can help it. We’ll take the time and drive.
I love planes, love flying. But I hate the TSA idiots and the hassle of airports. On top of that my wife of 43 years refuses to get on another plane (she is afraid of flying. Last time she was on a plane was 1988).

Ditto. I won’t fly again unless someone’s life is at stake.
Living in North Carolina, we fly to Arizona to visit my folks to take the rugrat to see the grandparents. Of course, our latest flight to Arizona was a couple of weeks ago, to go to my mother's funeral. Driving to Arizona is a four-day one-way proposition, so no thanks.
This being said, we've never once had a bad experience with TSA, nor have we ever had a problem with any of the other passengers, nor have we ever been "crammed in" like cattle, even though we fly economy.
Honestly, I'm not really sure what you people are whining about.
