We are about 2 hours from Louisville and Indianapolis which have less direct flights that they used to.
This past weekend we took a quick trip to MSY from EVV. From the time we left our hotel until we puled in our drive was 8 hours. I could drive it in 10 hours and have less hassle.
Would you mind breaking down where those 10 hours were spent? Significant flight delays? Was this a 1-stop, with a significant layover in between?

I just flew into EVV a couple of weeks ago. On my return, in the middle of the day, TSA was locked up tight! Did not open until 20 minutes or so before the expected arrival of the flight I was going out on. No other flights were scheduled near that time frame, so no need to open security.

First time I had seen that.
