Not even close, drive. You have to add security time, drive time to airport and parking, expected value of delays or cancellations, having your own car, leaving when you want, etc.

Expense mileage!

Good alternative D1, especially if good mpg.

The mileage reimbursement value should greatly exceed the value of any airlines nikes earned, plus you aren't tied to an airline's schedule or delays. And pack whatever and how much you want. Obviously the economics change if you have to rent a car because you don't own one, but the increased flexibility may still beat flying.

Drive. Don't have to deal with delays and all that bs plus you have your car if you need to get around. Obviously expense mileage

Drive. Not worth the loss in flexibility and potential delays

Drive. Mileage reimbursement is worth more than airline points... if you're looking for the best monetary value.

Drive! Unless you're a sucker for points! And all the points AT1 mentioned-- so true!

That's happening to me but it's 3 hours all in the metro LA area. Fly if you can.

How do you deal with feeling guilty for leaving your current job in the middle of a project?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
