I am assessing the fly vs. drive more often now, and cost is not an issue. I am just sick to death of flying and airports - the whole system sucks right now and I am flat out tired of it. I have to go to NC today, a hair over 6 hours total time for me driving. I am doing it and looking forward to it, especially as it also avoids me having to deal with PHL in particular.

I have some Toronto trips coming up, normally a no-brainer fly decision. Now I am seriously considering making the drive (7 hours or so).

Airlines need to wake up tho the fact that some of their super premium fare business is being scared away from the air system. They seem to be compliant with all this TSA madness without making any organized industry (IATA-ish) effort to right things a bit.
