an analogy for me is you're in Singapore and you're thinking of flying or driving by car to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - driving, it takes you 4 hours. Flying is on

an analogy for me is you're in Singapore and you're thinking of flying or driving by car to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - driving, it takes you 4 hours. Flying is only 30 minutes but check-in time is 2 hours and disembarkation/waiting for your baggage is abou 30 minutes plus you need to take a taxi to the airport - it works out the same. Choose your poison. Driving is more scenic but you get flier's miles with flying.
