I quit going by air when airlines became Greyhounds of the sky. I am old enough to remember when you dressed up when you traveled by air (and you could leave to the airport 30 minutes before your flight and still get on the plane).
My last trip by air had to be close to 30 years ago and that was on business. If I can not drive (or take a boat) I don’t go.
” If I can not drive (or take a boat) I don’t go.”

That is my stance, CIB-
My family (in Maryland) is well aware of my intense dislike of airports.
I also have a real fear of crowds (say, anything over 3 people). We joke because we know that in order for me to get through an airport I would need to be dead and being carried via a coffin.
About the only reason I’d go back to Maryland would be for a funeral and it would be my beloved husband driving with the furbabies in the back seat! I’d never make the funeral, though I would pay respects at the graveside.
