Not to me. I've lived in Dallas for over a decade at this point. I've visited Houston once. I've visited New York at least once a year. Putting aside that we're as far from each other as London is from Paris and Amsterdam, there is damn near nothing between us. When you add in the several hours you spend getting to an airport, getting through security, waiting for your plane to board, then the massive amount of time spent taxiing because DFW the airport is bigger than Dallas the city, the time difference between flying to Houston versus flying to a coast is negligible compared to your total door to door travel time, so frankly, Houston may as well be as far away as New York is.
- dustincoates 3y agoI think it's very different when you grew up there and have significant family there, compared to if you are a transplant (even one with a decade under your belt). That extended family brings with it people moving between the cities, holiday visits to gather, etc. On my family's last couple of trips to Houston, we've included visits to Dallas to visit with other family members and I don't think it's that rare. Plus, very few are even thinking of flying between the cities. Car ownership is high that flying to visit one of the other cities is definitely an edge case.
