Longing for the Skies: A Family's Quest for Speed and Convenience

Long family trips and a move across several states have led to a decrease in flying time for one family. Despite this, they continue to think about flying and the benefits it offers.

## The Allure of Flying

For this family, flying has been a convenient option for long-distance travel. They have a 1992 Commander 114B, which they have used to travel from New Jersey to Vermont, a journey that takes less than two hours compared to at least five and a half hours by car. The same applies to their trip from Vermont to Geneva, New York, which takes about an hour and 45 minutes by airplane versus seven hours driving.

## Comparing Travel Times

| Destination | Airplane | Car | | --- | --- | --- | | New Jersey to Vermont | Less than 2 hours | At least 5.5 hours | | Vermont to Geneva, New York | 1 hour 45 minutes | 7 hours | | Vermont to Deer Isle, Maine | A shade over 1 hour | 5.5 hours |

The family's experiences highlight the benefits of flying, particularly when it comes to time and convenience. While they have had to rely on their car for transportation more often, they continue to think about flying and the advantages it offers.
