Long story short, I’m an airline operations auditor, and oftentimes it’s way easier to drive between airports, than fly to base and back, especially when trying to chase and time snowstorms. It was defintely some fun times though.
Ok, I need to understand the routing and calculations on this. I know you mention Las Vegas to Miami and 8,437 miles. Please explain. Going LAS-SEA-ORD-PWM-MIA and that was still under 6,000 miles and is one of the most indirect routes you could possible take. Direct this trip is under 2,800 miles
BOS-DSM is 1300 miles direct.
