Depends on the situation, where you’re going and for how long, how many people, etc. WE drive whenever possible because air travel has become so darn annoying. You have to be at the airport too far in advance, then stand in lines forever, are limited in what you can take with you, get annoyed by people taking carryons that are too large and that fill the overhead bins too quickly, small seats with limited legroom, bad food (if you get food at all!), crazy delays, fewer non-stop flights, smaller planes than in the past, possibility of lost luggage (has happened to everyone in our family in the past two years), and then when you arrive at your destination, having to arrange for a rental car that isn’t as nice as the car we own! If we drive, we can leave when we want and are not tied to an airline’s schedule (which they rarely keep anyway!)

Nope, flying isn’t for us, unless we’re flying coast to coast, or here to the UK to visit one D, or to other places in Europe for vacation.
