Just saying, that was DL's bread and butter for a long time for which they would happily have charged you $1200 in Y roundtrip. Today that flight can be bought for $155. It's still only three hours flying vs seven driving, so I doubt there are a lot of people who would be willing to take the latter option, however they don't have anywhere near the pricing power they used to simply because that kind of travel isn't happening right now.
