Boy do we miss the pre-pandemic airline industry. Multiple daily non stop round trip options from up north (BDL) to Orlando were always available for under $300 and the flights were typically reliable and on time. Now most carriers have one flight per day, leaving either very early or very late, the cost has more than doubled, cancellations and delays are the norm, and rebooking options are severely limited. Looks like we will continue to be forced to make the 2,720 mile round trip drive three or four times per year and suck up the close to $5 per gallon cost for gas.
On another note, I feel sorry for the private drivers who used to be able to show up for a flight arrival and the plane was there and on time. Flight cancellations and delays (not to mention the cost of fuel) have made their jobs a nightmare.
