My rule of thumb when flying was to find out what the portal to portal time was for driving and flying and if it was equal or less for driving , that`s what I did . I added my driving time from home to airport , check in time , actual flying time , layovers etc to make my decision . It was actually the same time to fly from Augusta , GA to Richmond , VA as it was to drive .... approx. 7 hours , and I still had to rent a car when I got there ! And that was before all the new security BS .... and cheaper for the company to boot , plus if my schedule changed , I wasn`t captive to a non refundable , no change ticket .
