“Drive or just take Amtrak”. “Yeah, right. Maui to Los Angeles”.
Obviously, there are situations which requires flying. However, I live in the DFW area and several years ago I started driving instead of flying those one hour hops around Texas. The net net is that total elapsed time is the same or less by driving than flying. And, a heck of a lot more comfortable and a heck of a lot less stressful for sure. SW or AA have never threatened to kick me out of my own truck. Screw’em I say....
