Same with me. If I can drive to where I’m going, I’m skipping the flight.

If you have to make a layover, probably faster.

It’s likely supply/demand. More people want to fly direct so they price those higher.

Your last sentence is highly relevant - this kid may be fucked trying to get home going forward if he can’t fly American.

They may have actually done the lad a favor. 

The civilized mores for air travel have been swapped out for lower prices.  It once wasn’t uncommon at all to meet someone who had never been on a plane due to the expense.  Not so much these days.

But small cars are better at avoiding accidents in the first place. I’ve owned mostly small cars and can attest to that.

Totaled the car and the trailer. Kind of wish I’d just hit him. 

We were towing a travel trailer with a Lincoln Navigator in Oregon when someone in a small car pulled out in front of us from a side street as we were rounding a curve going about 45 mph.

Well, that’s ok since you understand them to be the crapcans that they are. Cheers.

Physics? If my Yukon XL even grazes a Hyundai Accent, it’s going to be a bad time for the occupants of the Accent. I do my best not to graze Accents.

See my post elsewhere...if my phone comes up I’ll put us in the black.

Awaiting my reply from the laptop to get us all in the black on the phone.

Similarly, I hate the Camry. I’ve rented a few and I always felt like the car chose to operate with disdain of me as driver, like it was better than me and its sales numbers proved it.

You have some serious patience. I would lose my fucking mind if I had to listen to my wife refer to an X1 as a truck on the regular.
