Would you drive an hour

[lilles]

To an airport if tickets are $200 less per person and you needed four plane tickets. Our closest airport is 20 mins away bit since it is a smaller airport tickets are always more expensive. You would be driving with a then 7 and 5 year old and an eleven month old. Also the cheap tickets are on Jet Blue which we have never flown before, they are having a great sale BTW.
This is for June but we would be buying tickets this week.

[Velar Fricative]

An hour, that's it? Of course.

[mandapanda18]

in a heartbeat... on hour to save $800, sign me up

[lindyanne]

Yes. I don't think that's a big deal. You probably have better flight times too.

[savan]

Yep, I would and have. $800 savings is worth an hour in the car.

[h]

Yup

[spk926]

YES!

[fortmyersbride]

Definitely. It takes us 45 min to get across town to our closest airport. I would gladly drive another 15 min to save that much.

[ginkgoleaf]

definitely.

[SJ]

Yes.

[AmyRI]

What does parking and baggage fees add to the cost of tickets at each place? If it really is driving an hour to save $800, I'd absolutely do it. I'd probably do it for 1/4 of that, too.

[undecidedowl]

I would, but my closest airport is an hour anyway so it doesn't seem that bad.

[rosebud]

yes

[cinco]

Yep. An hour isn't a long drive for us.

Two hours (an hour each way) to save $800? That's $400 an hour. No brainer. If your time is worth more than that, please let me know what field you are in because I want your job.

[wavepool]

definitely.

[rbp]

To save $800? Hell yes. 

[jackpackage]

Yep. We have a small airport nearby, but we usually drive 1.5 hrs to the larger airport for better prices and direct flights.

[GotWine]

definitely. I would drive an hour for far less.

[meltoine]

Absolutely. We regularly drive to the airport that's 2 hours away for this reason despite our local airport being 20 mins away.

[Deleted]

Hell yes. An hour isn't anything.

[cherry1111]

Absolutely.

I am a SAHM of course my time is worth more than $400/hr.

[drloretta]

Dude, we've driven 2.5 hours for cheaper airfare.

Does this mean a direct flight too? Yes. Anything to get better flight times, a direct flight, and to save $800.

Sadly no direct flights at either airport.

[magpie]

absolutely. I'm driving a little under 2 hours (vs that 20 minute away local airport) to save about that much on just 2 tickets. It's worth it to me for the $400 and the direct flight.

[robot]

Of course! But my airport is 1.5 hrs away, so I'm used to it

[bananapancakes]

Absolutely.

[IrishBelle]

For sure! An hour is nothing.

[waterchurch]

I most certainly would.
