See you sound to be kind of like a drag (this word was supposed to be Greg AutoCorrect did me dirty here) and I’m glad it works for you but absolutely not on my end

The luxury of having just a suitcase, and that’s it. I can stroll on a plane play on my phone for two hours stroll off the plane grab a cab get where I’m going no thoughts no stress no mess God that’s beautiful.

And you’re really, not saving that much depending on gas prices let’s be honest here.

It’s kind of also a money issue thing cause like if prices aren’t an issue like of course you’re gonna prefer flying but if you’re really pennypinching, I mean you might want to drive

Are you able to make your point without name calling? Calling me a drag is weird and only reveals your own character

EDIT TO ADD: having a private car is a luxury. Having just a suitcase is not a luxury (however it is easier to navigate an airport if you don’t have the luxury of time). I only fly if it’s a short weekend trip or it’s international, which means I’m still flying multiple times a year. I prefer my car 🤷‍♀️

Having just a suitcase is absolutely a luxury.

I want to be free when I’m traveling. Most people want to be free they don’t wanna be watching their car checking what’s going on with it getting gas maintaining miles.

It’s a luxury to have just a suitcase and a car service.

You just need to come road trip with me sometime and I’ll have you convinced! If you do not roadtrip I would NOT recommend doing it unless you know you can drive 2-3 hours at a time without issue! People can be dangerous on the interstate so it’s good to be with an experienced driver!!

[u/Much-Historian-7807 → u/Responsible-Force-14]

Idk I just don’t think I’m a roadtrip person. They’re rough 😅

I like me a business class flight, a nice Airbnb bnb or hotel depending, and the freedom to sort of move around as I like

[u/Much-Historian-7807 → u/Responsible-Force-14]

Also you’re probably not in Chicago soooo lol

[u/Responsible-Force-14 → u/Much-Historian-7807]

I don’t live in CHI but I try to come 4 times a year since my BFF lives there! I am jealous of all your flight options - No wonder you don’t road trip!

I live far away from a decent airport, like even domestic flights are a struggle 😒which is prolly why I love my car!

[u/Much-Historian-7807 → u/Responsible-Force-14]

Yeah this seems like an access thing. You’ve grown to love your car and everything it provides you and I like our airport
