Well, I got my plane ticket today.... Was wondering who is flying down and who is driving?
Flying..... JetBlue. Never braved the drive down before.
We're also flying. We have to drive to Milwaukee then connect with Airtran. Fares from our regional airport were really high.
We're flying, compliments of all my bride's travels to Thailand for work (those frequent flyer miles add up quick!)
Unless I get James Bond's underwater car I am flying! :D
We use DH frequent flyer miles for DD to go back and forth from college (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring break) - but United throws in these regional and global upgrades to DH all the time on his account, so I at least got to upgrade to First class for free :joy:Quote:

Flying.....we got our tickets for $190 apiece from Philly!
Flying out of Philly the Wednesday before:party:
I am flying from Denver on SW. When I bought the ticket it was $455!! Gasp! Thanks to Ding!, however, it has gone down to $280. That's better!

Flying. Bought my flight down on 10/25 (still don't know when I'm coming home) last week. Flying the dreaded Delta:sick: They had a sale, so I went for it.
We're autotrain(ing) :train: it!
So, a drive to Lorton, then the train to our happy place. :mickey: So much better than driving the whole way from Toronto! :drive:
:plane:
Our family policy is leave nothing we own behind. I find with my ECV and the convenience of having a vehicle available worth the 18 hours on the road. Plus this year with four of us airfare lost out to the cost of driving.
We leave PA at 7pm and arrive the next afternoon in the Disney area. Find a cheap room sleep off the drive and enjoy the time until check in at POP.
I pop the van into cruise control and with our video on demand… “Put in a DVD” it helps pass the time.
OK maybe I have to watch the road but I have listened to many movies on the trips.
To us the drive is part of the adventure and how could we miss stopping at South of The Border. We would not want to get Pedro angry.
I'm flying! Applied and received the Southwest credit card, complete with 50,000 miles on it. So I used about 17,000 of them and basically paid $74 to fly roundtrip. (One of the main selling points to my husband -- 'but honey it won't cost much')
Now to see how I might use the rest of the points.... my AP is burning a hole in my pocket... :secret:

We'll be flying but I'm hoping airfare gets a bit better. It's better today than it was a few weeks ago, so hopefully the trend continues. Hoping to leave late Wednesday night out of Philly, but only if getting off of work comes through!
We may be on the same plane. Our round trip were $190 a piece. US Air at 8:30.Quote:

Is teleportation an option yet? :unsure:
I'm still not even sure if I'm going, but this would be my best option at this point. :D
Teleporting has been available here at Intercot for quite a while. :teleport:Quote:

Yeah, not so much. Traveling 90 min to BWI in Washington area traffic on a weekday isn't exactly my idea of fun. No direct flights on SW from Dulles or Reagan. I'd have to use another carrier, and those prices are up there at this point.Quote:

Hmm..just looked into that. It's even further than BWI!Quote:

There's only so much money to go around. :( I'll have to hope for a really good sale fare and the continuation of the Armed Forces salute if I stand any chance at making it for ICOT 15.
