With vacation season in full force, you may be planning a getaway of your own. Once you’ve figured out where you’re going, you have to decide on how to get there. Some places require traveling by air; it’s the only way to get there, so the decision is an easy one. If it’s a location to which you can drive, however, you’re faced with a choice: should you drive, or should you fly?

Everyone has preferences for modes of travel, of course. For many, flight is the preferred option. From a certain perspective, it makes perfect sense-you spend less time getting there so you can spend more time being there.
