Drive home or fly home? -

I m going home Monday the 23rd for Thanksgiving and coming back that Friday the 27th. I don t know whether I should drive or fly. Flying would only cost me $200 roundtrip but there s the connecting flight and I don t know how bad it s going to be those days. Also, I have an appointment to get my tires changed because North Carolina (where I live now) has bad ice storms and the only way to do that is drive home. The drive is also 12 hrs long. So basically, is it worth driving home to get my tires changed?

FLY HOME ----------------------

Well, either way, you need to get your tires changed so that you are safe in your vehicle. You can get that done anywhere.However, 12 hours is a long trip and $200 round trip is a wonderful deal, especially taking into consideration fuel costs for your vehicle, rest stops, food, and your time spent driving. Flying is also safer and you save yourself more time to spend with your family.

well i happen to live in NC as well and i think the last ice storm was like 10 years ago that i know of you can wait one more day to change them it waould probably cost you more in gas money to drive and be more dangerous than flyin 200 is REALLY good deal especially for the short trip your planning

Only you can decide which is better for you. Which do you like better, driving or flying? Either way, it s going to be a zoo. If you ve already paid for a round trip ticket, you may not be able to get a refund on the return flight if you decide to drive.

The $200 round trip is a very good deal and since it will be 12 hrs. driving it would be about a 3 or 4 hr. flight with the connection and all. If you drive for 12 hrs. you will arrive tired but if you fly back you won t be tired and will have time to catch up.

I think you should just fly home
