Doesn't Will work for the airlines? Let's see, before retirement my consulting fee was $200 per hour; I am 2 1/2 hours to the nearest airport =$500 of time; arrive at the airport for security and all the lines 1 1/2 hours before flight time = $300; time to fly there 2 hours = another $300; at least another hour on the ground in the airport after arrival = $200; $100 for the ticket; total cost $1,400. 22 hours driving time to Las Vegas from Nacogdoches in a VW; priceless.
