What's your cutoff point for driving? It's really interesting for me... CVG is my "home town airport" yet is only 20 minutes closer to my office than DAY is. If CVG was right next door, I think I'd pay the $160... especially if I had to leave work early or something like that.

I used to work for UAX and NRSA'd ORD-MKE and vv. I had many problems with that flight. Even took the chartered mini-bus to ORD a few times.
