The problems I foresee and which will offset the supposed cost savings of driving to a near-by airport are the cost of gasoline (RT) and parking fees for the car. This can really add up.
I agree Glorya — it doesn’t always make sense. But you won’t know until you consider it.
I saved $138.00 by checking on (and flying from)a local airport that had ALWAYS been too expensive to use. There was a special deal and I lucked out. ALWAYS check out the locals! You may be pleaseantly surprised!!
