From a marketing perspective, touting how you can be taking so many more trips for the same money might be a sales pitch. Also could be developed into, say, an alternative to RVing if you can make the numerical case on it. So many seniors get pulled into RVing and there's a real vested interest in selling those depreciating assets, but I don't know if anyone has studied the numbers case with a sharp fly/drive strategy vs. that.
