If they are promoting same day trips to come back home they are not be realistic. If you were going to Boston for short meeting, the schedule could look something like this:
7am leave house
8am arrive airport
10am depart Hartsfield for Boston
12:30 land Boston
12:45 get off plane
1:00 get to rental bus
1:15 leave rental lot
2:00 arrive at destination - if you are lucky
5:00 leave for airport
8:30 flight departs for Atl
... we you get it... that is one heck of a day for 3 hours worth of business. No way. Did they forget how difficult it is to travel. The TSA has added hours to the normal flight, to say nothing of the personal insult.
I know way too many have said they thought the add campaign was a joke, but I had to add my two cents worth. Though if was talking to Delta, it would cost much more. I can not believe they signed off on this.
Stay home... yep, that is what is happening and why the airlines are hurting already.
