If it takes 4 hours to drive, I rather take a plane

After 12 hours of driving a car you're exhausted and could've gotten in an accident

If the plane tickets were cheap enough, I wouldn't even think twice.

If youre going on a full family trip, those tickets add up quickly. Not to mention if you're going to a place like the beach and youre bringing beach toys for the kids, it makes so much more financial sense to drive. In addition to just travel to get there, youre also looking at a car rental, some way to either bring car seats on the air plane (this sucks) or pay more money to rent them when you get there.

I flew across the US with a 5 and 3 year old. It was fucking miserable. We also werent risking missing a connecting flight (because getting them to a hotel would have been an abomination) , so we made sure that we had plenty of time on our lay over. Spent a whole day to travel
