I guess for my next trip i might need to re-evaluate my time driveing v cost of air! since i doubt i can get free dinning 4 years in a row!!!! I do know when i had last checked it was 150 pp each way so they were still more expensive! then the delta flights, but again no ding singedup or looking for sales and i am sure that would make all the difference!
We're hoping to fly out of Albany next year for our trip in order to use Southwest. It'll be a 2 hour drive to Albany, but my parents live there, so we'll be able to go the day before. Good idea about flying early and getting there before the airport opens!! And the adrenaline will definitely keep you going for the day, even with the super-early start!!
