I now 100% drive. I can take more of my “stuff” and most generally get there on time and don’t have to get a rental car.
I think I used to be able to fly the Eastern Shuttle from LaGuardia to Boston for $13 off peak.
That was a deal at the time, even if one flew on a Super Connie on the half hour overflow flight.
