That's it; I'm done. If I have to perch on a bicycle saddle for 3 hours in order to see my daughter in CO, I'll gladly take an extra day or two and drive out. By the time I pay for gas and parking at the airport, the ticket, meals while I wait for an hours-late connection, and then a rental car, I'm miles ahead just driving my own vehicle there. And I'll probably arrive before the flight ever would.
I predict that bicycle-seat Airbus flights will jump-start the renaissance of surface travel. Did I mention that I LOVE trains?
