Ummm, you are nuts. I drove IAH-LBB-IAH about 30 times when I was in college (well before my flying days) and would consider paying $400 r/t (which is about what a full Y ticket was running 4 years ago) before driving.
Then again, I was driving a '92 Bronco and gas cost me an arm and a leg. |

Jebus, Ive been on the phone with CO for over an hour. They did a schedule change that effected one of my flights by almost 2 hours. This happens to be a DCA-IAH-ONT-IAH-DCA run where I will also be spending 4-5 hours on a bus so I'm not to happy about getting into DCA after 1 pm on a Sunday. Currently fighting for a IAH-EWR flight and if this doesnt work I think I'm going to cancel and refund.:rolleyes:

Same here. Though my price point would be more like $320-$350.

The total cost of the trip is more than just out of pocket expenses. @:-)

I'm placing an increasing premium on the sanity component. :-:
I drove EWR-OCF once, and that was enough. I wouldn't want to do EWR-FLL by car, at least in my own car. If the airfare was so cost prohibitive I would probably rent a car to drive it. :-: |

Thank you for the links. I'm guessing it's just copy and paste with all the | included?
I would be driving a Honda Civic and not stopping for a hotel. I've done the drive from PHL-IAH (2 times) without stopping and one time with 2 overnight stops, and this would be a breeze. Figure about 3-4 fill-ups each way and stopping for food/bathroom, I should be good and cost less than $336 R/T. Plus, I wouldn't need to rent a car in FLL.:-: |

If I were faced with driving that distance or not going, I would not go, unless it were for some very important reason. YMMV.

Good morning box.

For a family driving is a good option, for a single person, it is insanity not to fly if the ticket is less than $500.

Just perusing the ANA website and their reconfigured 773ER. It sure looks nice, and they did 2x4x3 in Y (and 34" pitch). Too bad I've been to Japan and their Y fares are way too :rolleyes: to pay for it and the trek the JFK.
And yes, I've gone to JFK for more of my international flights than EWR. :o |
