Not only did my flight get cancelled two hours after it was scheduled, they can’t pull my bag and get it to me within an additional 2 hours? This is why I prefer to drive everywhere.

Rant over

If I have the time, I will drive instead of flying commercial 100% of the time. The only time I fly is if I’m PIC.

I should have just completely declined an additional flight and drive the extra 4 hours

Sounds like an airline issue. Not an airport issue.

And if your cancelled flight/delayed luggage is not to your home airport, congratulations. You just got a wardrobe complements of said airline.

agree completely...I will drive up to 8 hours in order to avoid flying. To me, that is the most miserable of all modes of travel.

This is why I prefer carry on luggage.

don't ever fly private. It'll make commercial flights even more miserable for you.

That's certainly frustrating, but I can tell you I've lost way more than two hours on road trips due to traffic, accidents, etc.

Anything over a 5 hour drive is automatically a flight for me, or I just won't go.

Good luck with this.

The airline industry knows this.

I too prefer flying over driving.
Don't check a bag and half the problem is solved.
Have been stuck in too many damn traffic meltdowns, and I commute ~300 miles a week. So I am sure as hell not climbing behind the wheel for a pleasure trip.
