It is helpful for realizing how much it costs to buy back your time.
I could go grocery shopping, or I could use Instacart for about $8 or so (as long as you use a store with in-store pricing).
I could drive for 7 hours and spend 80 on gas or spend 200 on a plane ticket and for the most part use the time as I please.
- derekp7 5y agoHow many hours of driving is the break-even for flying? 7 hours would be cutting it close, considering transportation to/from the airport, security, and waiting for boarding and post arrival. Personally my cutoff is driving long enough that it requires an overnight motel stay on the road.
- MattGaiser 5y agoPersonally, anything over 3 hours I tend to fly if possible, even if it is theoretically longer overall. Airport has food, washrooms, Wi-Fi, lets me walk around, and lets me work on things. Between 3 hours in a car or 3 hours in an airport and 1 on the plane, I much prefer the airport. I have never really understood the hatred people have for airports.
