I understand that flying is more convenient, and it’s a quicker way to get from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’, but I don’t understand why people are still flying these days; especially on short 1-2 hour jaunts. If any other industry raised prices as much as the airlines have while cutting back on basic services and quality customer service, they would immediately go under. Instead of relying on the airline industry to get you there faster, take the extra day or two to drive or take the train. Your sanity and pocket book are worth it.
